Unique and beautiful apartment

This place was beyond beautiful! Our group of 5 all loved this place. Comfortable beds, clean and you can walk all around the city. Only problem was parking our 2nd car. Would have been fine with 2 couples and 1 car. Tom was so helpful and easy to get ahold of. Would definitely love to stay here again!

The Best

My wife and I (and some friends who joined us from Scotland) spent two weeks here and we can only rave about how wonderful it was. The interior is gorgeous; every morning felt like waking up in a museum. The location could not be better - right in the middle of everything, but also quiet in the evenings making it easy to sleep. Property manager is kind and responsive. This property added an extra 50% to the value and enjoyment of our trip. You should stay here if you can!

Wir hatten eine fantastische Woche im Ferienhaus. Die Lage ist zentral und die Einrichtung sehr liebevoll und stimmig. Alles war sauber. Der Parkplatz ist fußläufig in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Sowohl Billard-Tisch als auch Dachterrasse haben wir gut nutzen können.Kleine Anmerkungen:Die alten Betten (auch wunderschönes Himmelbett) sind gemütlich, knarzen aber leider. Die Küchenausstattung ist hochwertig. Da wir gerne auch selbst kochen, fehlten uns eine Pfanne mit Deckel und etwas größere Töpfe.Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war immer kurzfristig, zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich. Hätten wir zB unseren Wunsch nach einem größeren Topf kundgetan, hätten wir sicher rasch einen bekommen.Alles in allem können das Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Wonderful stay!

Everything was just as described and we had a lovely time at the Brocade and Lime. Cork is a vibrant, active city and it was extremely convenient and enjoyable to be right in the middle of it. Such an entertaining place to stay and all our needs were met by the accommodations. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Unique and incredible place to stay

We absolutely fell in love with this property. It is completely unique, and so fun! The home is packed full of amazing little things to appreciate. There was tons of space to spread out and get cozy. The owners really put effort in to making the home special for the guests. The location couldn’t be better, right in the middle of the city with everything within walking distance. The owners were incredibly kind, responsive, welcoming and helpful. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting Cork…So much cooler than a hotel and a place you’ll remember forever. I just wish we had more time there.

Incredible unique home

My fiancé and I stayed there with our parents to get married locally and could not have been more satisfied, especially with the beauty of the home. Such a unique experience and I can say unequivocally that everything went as smoothly as anyone could imagine. Five stars from top to bottom. Super cool place! Will definitely stay there again.

Champagne bar!! What’s not to love??

The photos do not do it justice. The place is a work of art! Immaculately clean, comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen, and just gorgeous to look at. We just loved the place - especially the champagne bar! Thomas went out of his way to help and was very friendly and responsive. Location is great. Perfect!

Beautiful home and great central location

This is a one of a kind property. Wonderfully decorated and many additional amenities make this a great place to rent. On our arrival we received a welcome basket that included Prosecco and a Guinness! Enjoyed the pool table and the coffee station. Plenty of room for our family to spread out and the location in downtown Cork couldn’t have been better. Hope to stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

We enjoyed staying at the townhouse. All instructions for entering the property were concise and easy to follow. The instruction manual was helpful. Our grandson was happy to have his own area on the floor with the pool table. All was as represented in the description and pictures. We were happy with the location and enjoyed our time in Cork

Gorgeous

I’ll just tell you what my adult children said as we were heading out to our next destination and house. You did great on this one mom. I don’t see how the next houses could ever match this. Lots of nearby pubs for dining and drinking. House was so much fun with the pool table. We had a lovely time.

Long weekend in Cork city

When we walked into the place we were all muttering WOW! The property is amazing - beautifully restored townhouse to the highest level. Very central and close to everything we wanted in the wonderful vibrant city of Cork. Dedicated parking was close and easy to access. Tom & Emma were extremely helpful and responsive. Many thanks to them!

Three nights exploring Cork and surrounding area.

What a wonderful property. So many interesting decorations and furnishings. High Quality beds and appliances. Great Pool Table! Location was perfect for what we were looking for. We made a couple day trips to Carrigaline and Tooraneena to walk in steps of some ancestors. The Saturday Market right outside the door of this house was a great surprise. Easy walking to many Pubs, Restaurants, etc. in Cork at night. Would highly recommend this property.

Great Hosts, Great Accommodation, Funky Odor

Everything was really nice and true to description, but the property apparently suffers from an old sewerage system that causes it to smell of dirty river/sewerage when the window are closed. It will air out but starts over again when you wake up in the morning. Supposedly it’s weather and water level in the River Lee dependent, but still unpleasant
