Rose Lodge Guest House

What a little gem! From the moment you walk through the front door this place is an absolute delight. It’s hard to know where to start. The walls are teeming with a very eclectic selection of art work while a cosy sitting room is an invitation to sit and relax with tea/coffee/biscuits/fruit and lots of books! Some quirky jungle dwellers are dotted throughout the foyer, dining and sitting rooms - all of which add to the welcoming atmosphere. Our room was spacious with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Beautiful en-suite and everything absolutely spotlessly clean. Well done to housekeeping. Tea/coffee making facilities were an added bonus though not really necessary as they are available in the sitting room. Parking was on site, and it was just a short stroll to Fitzgerald Park ( more great coffee there!). Directly across the road you can access the river walk which takes you into the city. Alternatively a ten minute walk on the Mardyke/ Western Road brings you into the heart of Cork. Continental breakfast is available for an extra €5 and makes a perfect start to a day exploring Cork. This was our first time staying in Rose Lodge but we will definitely be back.
