My friend and I arrived in Cork on a rainy April day. The Kent House was warm and inviting and Lorraine was very helpful to us as we got settled. We were able to park our rental car right in front of the B&B, on the street, with no issues. Our room was quite large for the 2 of us,... More

My friend and I had a great stay at Kent House last week. Our bedroom there was the most spacious of any b&b I've ever visited. The bathroom was very large too. John and Lorraine were great. Lorraine provided us with suggestions on things to see and do in and around the city, and she presented us with several good... More

Lorraine and John are fantastic hosts. I really felt like I was part of their family for the weekend. Good location just 10mins walk to town. My only suggestion would be to sleep with the window shut at the back as the trains could be considered an inconvenience. Only a small point to make for an otherwise fantastic little break... More

This place is located just by the train station, 15-20 mins walk to the city center. The owner was really nice and helpful, but the rooms and the breakfast were just average. Exactly what you expect from an Irish B&B. Recommended.

Just got back from a Monday to Thursday break in Cork.We had a great time and a very comfortable stay. Lorraine was great to talk to and very flexible. She gave us lots of tips for good places to go and made sure that we were well looked after. Very happy that we chose Kent House for our trip. Thanks

Kent House innkeepers were fantastic, always full of useful information and advice. Breakfast was delicious and rooms superb! House was a short distance from the train station making it the perfect spot to travel out to other villages.

Hi there, I suppose to book into 2 different hotels but thankfully, both were fully booked for this weekend, as I have found a very nice and clean B&B just 1 minute away from the train station and only 10 minutes away from City. The B&B and the owners made our weekend very special! We had coffee/tea in the room,... More
