The personnel (beautiful, friendly people), our room (spotless, comfortable - everything we needed) the food (phenomenal - first class! We ate here 2 evenings in a row!), the drinks (dangerously tasty and perfectly made), the garden (just heavenly!!), the location (excellent for exploring Baltimore), the dog (they the most gorgeous poodle!!!). There is no doubt it, we will be back again to Baltimore to stay at Rolfs wonderfully charming guest house in the future!

Maranatha Country House 4 stars

Situated within 3 km of Blarney Castle in Blarney, Maranatha Country House offers free WiFi and a flat-screen TV.

Blarney Stone is 3 km from Maranatha Country House. The nearest airport is Cork Airport, 20 km from the accommodation. To start the hosts were wonderful and totally focussed on our well being. And they are refreshingly honest folk. The venue is an amazing and beautifully decorated and furnished period home. The grounds and aspect are beautiful. The breakfast was exceptional. It is a very quiet location with rooms well separated. It is faultless and will spoil you for any further travelling. Do yourself a favour and book here if you are visiting Blarney or Cork areas.

Shearwater Country House Accommodation 4 stars

Union Hall

With views towards Glandore Harbour, the Shearwater Country House offers seafront accommodation with free WiFi and free onsite parking. In the village of Union Hall, it also features a private sun terrace with fantastic sea views. Everything about this property is exceptional, great location with spectacular views, spotlessly clean, fantastic breakfast. Adela is a first class host with very good local knowledge and a total joy to talk too. We have stayed in expensive hotels that don't come up to this standard. This B&B should be on the television program that compares four businesses against each other. this would win hands down.

Guests at the country house will be able to enjoy activities in and around Glengarriff, like cycling. Garaidh was a fantastic host. So friendly and personable. He made us feel right at home and with our two dogs he welcomed them and doted on them as part of the family, which is very important to us. Beautiful tranquil setting, no disturbance, only the sound of the animals outside. He served us his special omelette for breakfast, and also made us his famous Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner. Would definitely recommend staying with Garaidh for a truly welcoming and peaceful stay.
