Waterfront period house
An elegant period house, on the waterfront in Monkstown, Cork. 20 minutes drive from Cork City and airport. Not quite "Sitting at the Dock of the Bay" but close. Chillax or not, that is the question ? Lovely leisurely local walks, on the Greenway old rail line, throw your canoe or paddle board over the wall (tidal). Perfect base for nearby attractions and activities, Fota Wildlife Park / House/ Adventure, Spike Island/ Fort Camden, Funkytown, cross river ferry to Cobh heritage town.
Built in 1842 retaining many original features.
Bright and airy, large rooms, high ceilings. The kitchen/ living room is in the basement with atmospheric log burning stove, lower ceiling here, access to split level back yard/garden/ back lane parking space.

Wonderful Character
The house has been beautifully restored and is so spacious. William (the host) was easy to work with and provided great recommendations. The location is close to many places and it was a quiet neighborhood.

Charmibg Monkstown
This was the perfect spot for us to explore Cork and the surroundings. We most enjoyed coffee/tea in the morning in the private yard overlooking the bay. Spectacular views and charming home and genuine antique furnishings took us back in time. William was most helpful meeting us to walk through the house. Easy checkin and checkout. Wonderful stay.

Beautiful period house. Just charming. be prepared for stairs over 4 levels. William was thoughtful and informative host. Only drawback (if there was one) was not much in walking distance-1 restaurant which had good food. Many things to do in nearby area. Recommend Fota Nature park , just exceptional "zoo"

Waterfront Period House
This property is a beautifully restored home. It had everything we wanted and needed. The location was perfect. The home faced the waterfront and was a short walk to the local restaurant and pub. William was friendly, informative and made sure we had everything we needed.
We loved our time visiting Monkstown and surrounding area.

Monkstown Stay
The house was absolutely stunning! The hosts were great, they greeted us on arrival and had even put a fire on in the stove! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The air hockey table upstairs in particular was a great hit with the kids.

Excellent location, fantastic hosts.
My family stayed here for one leg of our recent family vacation to Ireland. We were looking for something in County Cork outside of Cork City. This fit the bill perfectly. We enjoyed the views from the front of the house, the character of the historic home, and the easy access to many local sights. The owners were incredibly helpful with recommendations for things to do while in the area, gave a very helpful and very responsive. If ever in the area again, I would book again. Highly recommend!

Lovely large house
Excellent communication from William. Huge period house with high ceilings and so much space. Some lovely touches from William with lots of kitchen essentials waiting for us. We even had homemade orange cake to welcome us.
