Review by hotel critic
Stepping into Shandon Bells Guest House felt like discovering a hidden gem in the heart of Cork City. the sophisticated urban retreat nestled on the riverbank exuded a charm that instantly made us feel at home. the beautiful scenic walks around the historical grounds and coastal inlets nearby were a photographer's dream, offering endless inspiration for capturing Ireland's rugged beauty. Our cozy room, though on the smaller side, was impeccably clean, providing a comfortable haven after a day of exploring. the bed was inviting, ensuring a peaceful night's rest before waking up to the sound of the river flowing by. We particularly enjoyed the homemade breakfast in the charming dining room overlooking the water, a perfect start to each day of our romantic escape. Exploring the bustling city of Cork and its natural surroundings was made easy from this ideal base, with the English Market and Old Head Golf Links just a short journey away. And of course, the highlight was the whiskey tasting in the Jameson Bar, where we tested our palates and enjoyed the cozy ambiance. In the evenings, we strolled through the Hugenot Quarter, soaking up the lively atmosphere of the cafes and restaurants, immersing ourselves in the local culture. Overall, Shandon Bells Guest House provided the perfect balance of city vibrancy and natural beauty, making it a memorable haven for our romantic getaway in Ireland.
