This hotel was about 20 minutes to Cork City Center so great location if you have a rental car. Ample parking. The hotel was really nice. Rooms were large. Breakfast was tasty but they didnt have potatoes which we found strange for Ireland. The pool is really large and nice but keep in mind it is part of a fitness center and not private to the hotel. For example there was a fitness class happening while we were there. Also you must have swim caps which it does note on the website but I must have overlooked it. You can also purchase them there.
