Came to Garnish House based on the superior reviews. I reserved a family room because it was much larger and only a few euros more than an apartment. As soon as we arrived, I was disappointed. Garnish House is composed of three separate buildings. The building we were in is across from the main building. It has the family rooms.... More

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed this guest house a lot! The welcome tea was so good that we didn't need to have dinner; breakfast was excellent, lots of options and delicious food. The rooms were comfortable, clean and warm.The owner and staff were very friendly. We definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Cork.

There was not much fantastic about Cork other than our stay here. The owner was very warm and made sure we liked our room. The breakfast was amazing! Porridge with Bailey's? How does it get better than that? The room and bathroom were a good size and it was very clean. The double bed felt a little smaller than most... More

We were warmly welcomed with tea and scones and then we were upgraded to one of their apartments because it was available. The breakfast was amazing. There was plenty of delicious food at breakfast. The breakfast room was very small but the food made up for it. Great value for the money!

Spent two wonderful weeks at Garnish House on the Western Road, the location, the staff and the hospitality I received could not have been more friendly. Truly a home from home experience. My thanks and gratitude to the owner and staff for making my holiday so memorable, I shall always remember you fondly.

This ia a wonderfully welcome Guest House made even more special with its mind blowing breakfasts. The porridge with irish whisky is superb as is the "full Irish". our waitress was visibly disappointed when we said we couldn't manage pancakes to follow. Being served afternoon tea having survived Ryanair was so civilised. Our suite was warm and comfortable, although the... More

Greeted so warmly and was treated to a much welcome table of scones and various pastries and tea after a very long day of travel. Rooms very clean and comfortable. We were a family of 9 and they were very accommodating to make sure we were all able to sit together at breakfast. They gave us our own private room... More

The hospitality here is second to none and the breakfast was better than any evening meal. We were stuffed leaving here. There was so many different types of eggs and hot breakfasts. It was amazing!!! You wouldn't get this breakfast in a 5 star hotel. One of our party was a celiac and the hostess made her gluten free pancakes,... More

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at the Garnish House. Rooms were absolutely spacious. Bathrooms were fine, everything was sparkling clean. The house is set up in wings, so we didn't feel like we had to whisper so as to not disturb other people. We were welcomed with a wonder tea spread in their front room, and had... More
