This gorgeous period home was one of our two favorite B&Bs on our trip. The house has large rooms and the true feel of a period estate. Pam was a great hostess with terrific recommendations on restaurants and other things in the area. Do NOT miss the scones and cheese selecting at breakfast. I could not stop myself!! The breakfast...

Pam greets you into her home with a warm fire, tea and the BEST scones in Ireland. Her rooms are big and warm. Knockeven house is just grand! More

We spent one night in Knockeven house May 10th. We were warmly greeted by Pam and she offered refreshments when we arrived. She also went out of her way to drop us in town ( a few min down the road). The Irish breakfast accompanied by freshly baked scones was excellent. Rooms were very grand and spacious. Thoroughly enjoyed. More

Knockeven was one of our best B & B experience in Ireland. Tastefully furnished manor house with big rooms and a great shower! Pam and John are gracious hosts and Pam is a font of information about anything in the area; her suggestion for a visit to Ardmore on our way to Kilknenny was a very good suggestion. Excellent breakfast... More

We stayed two nights at the end of April. Pam could not have been nicer. Bar none the best scones of the 12 day trip. The house and furnishings could use some freshening up. A little worn. More

We just spent 2 days at Knockeven House thoroughly enjoying the place and the owners. Pam and John were both so hospitable. We were offered Pam's homemade scones and tea when we arrived in the afternoon, and treated to a wonderful homemade breakfast on the mornings. The room was spacious & well decorated, and we could see bits of the... More

First time ever at a B&B and wasn't sure what to expect to be honest. My husband and I arrived in Cobh on April 9th, 2012 - the same day as the Titanic Anniversay Cruise Ship "The Balmoral", so the town was shoulder to shoulder with people! We had e-mailed the host Pamela ahead of time and told her when... More

Delightful family run guesthouse just outside the pretty, historical town of Cobh, Co Cork. Greeted with a warm smile and offer of tea and home baked scones we knew we were going to enjoy our stay. This immaculate period house has large airy rooms with tasteful furnishings. Our bathroom was a little small but spotless and lovely Molton Brown toiletries... More

Was greeted with a curt, you're early, your room isn't ready! Arrived by train from Dublin & didn't have much choice but to go a little early (about 1:00). Didn't think it would be a big deal to drop our luggage off & go into Cobh. Maybe Pam was just having an off day! Otherwise, our 2 day stay was... More

I had a lovely stay with Pam and John, they were really welcoming, I had a lovely room and, having come down with an illness when I was there, they couldn't have been kinder to me. I love the beautiful house and the wonderful gardens and will definitely be visiting again. More
