    The location was perfect. A short 15 minute walk from the city Center, Rocklands B&B is an oasis surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful gardens, and amazing views. The house itself, and the common room in particular, is grand. But the best part of our stay was our host. John Bateman’s friendly disposition and incredible hospitality really added to our experience.

    Just back from the most wonderful stay at the Curragh Farm Lodges. It is hard to believe the accomodation was a stable for cows and probably horses once. It is 5 star in every way. The lodges are immaculately spotless and everything you need for a great stay. Veronica the host was more than helpful too and nice to talk to. Its the quietness of the place was amazing. I would highly recommend staying here. Cork city and Kinsale are close by.
