Independent hotels in Shanballymore, County Cork

"Altogether a great place to stay..might be a vintage look but everything great.Overnight road parking free."

"The room was very clean, as was the rest of the House. Staff members were very friendly and helpful."

"What a charming, spacious house in the Irish countryside! It was perfect for our family of 5. Everyone got their own room and my 19 year old especially loved having the granny flat to herself! The rooms were actually bigger than they looked in the pictures. The board games were a nice touch and definitely got used.Mariza is an excellent host who truly went above and beyond. She was quick to respond to questions before and after our arrival. We were welcomed by Christmas lights, fresh baked scones and brown bread. And she had left firewood so we could have a cozy fire in the family room. When I messaged asking if she knew anything about the ancient wedge tomb in the area, she quickly reached out to her friend who owns the farm it’s on, so we were able to go see it the next day! The house is convenient to Cork, Blarney, and Killarney, and the town of Mallow is only 10 minutes away with grocery stores and restaurants. We really feel lucky to have found this house!"

"The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff were outstanding, friendly, respectful and helpful. "

"Great stay and location"

"Gillian's apartment was the perfect base for us exploring Cork County, the beautiful Copper Coast and the magnificent Rock of Cashel. Parking is ample and safe, and the apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen has all you need to make meals (we made our breakfast everyday before hitting the road, and a.couple of dinners too). Thank you Gillian for hosting us. We would definitely return when visiting Cork County again."

"This is a gem of a find. Beautifully fitted out and managed with exceptional care. The facilities in the room and common parts are simply great and nothing was too much trouble. Mitchelstown has much to offer but Birdies is above and beyond."

"Cozy cottage on a spectacular and serene property. Very welcoming and comfortable stay. Nicely appointed kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms; completely met our needs. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated Tabitha’s attentiveness to details… and to us! The furry 4 legged visitors were a bonus! "

"The property is excellent, just like photos. The area is rural, and very quiet, but with good local access to main roads. The hosts were helpful and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,"
