Gabriel House Guesthouse

Location, location, location! Gabriel House is close to the train station and within easy walking distance to bridges across the River Lee that take you to the centre of Cork. In fact, Gabriel House overlooks the train station and can be accessed up a flight of steps (about 80 or so) from the road. The property is on a hill, which gives a grand view of Cork, but would be difficult for those with mobility issues unless they have a car. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the bottom of the hill up the street to Gabriel House. My group of friends (7 all together and mainly seniors) loved our stay! The walk “home” each day was part of our fitness regimen. Gabriel House is outstanding in many respects: friendly and helpful staff; gorgeous grounds with green lawns and patios to sit and enjoy drinks while taking in the city views; chicken coops housing the hens that produce our breakfast eggs; and wonderful, plentiful breakfasts! There’s also a sauna and a guest lounge in a cabin outside the main building. If ever I return to Cork, I would gladly stay at Gabriel House again!
