  Charming hotel, welcoming feel

  The staff was friendly, polite & helpful. A delicious breakfast was included & served in the lovely dining room. The room was comfortable & well kept.

  On my first day, I had put the "do not disturb" sign on my door because I didn't want the room cleaned while I was out. Upon my return, I saw the room had not only been cleaned but the shower door had been replaced. When I asked housekeeping about it, I was told they had been waiting for a plumber for some time. That was the day he came to perform some work & they could not turn him away.. While I understand it is difficult to get servicemen on your own schedule, it would have been good to have received a heads-up that the work might have been performed during my stay so I could have been prepared for that. Housekeeping was apologetic (& did do a very good job)..I am not annoyed, just surprised I wasn't forewarned. That being said, I would highly recommend this hotel. My overall experience was delightful.

  Excellent pub accommodation in a beautiful waterfront location in County Cork

  The Bosun is a pub with accommodation next door, i.e., separate entrance. My room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a very large comfy bed. The bathroom was a bit tight as it often is in pub or B&B accommodation, but it worked. And the shower had good pressure and plenty of warm/hot water. Nice big tv and kettle with coffee, tea and a packet of biscuits. The included breakfast was excellent and offered choices from continental style items to full Irish and other cooked options. I had dinner in the pub the night I arrived which was also very good. Topped off my stay watching dolphins swim in the harbour the next morning.

  No complaints. As mentioned, the bathroom was a bit tight but the only slight inconvenience was the small wash basin.
