Guest Reviews
- Mathilde (8/5): - La propreté, l'accueil. Salle de bains un peu humide.
- Louise (8/5): - Cosy room, close to the center. No breakfast at all included which seems a bit odd for a bed and breakfast.
- Rui (1/5): - The location I was not able to arrive at the checking times on the advert. I have asked to see if the checking could be later, and the answer was a copy-paste of what was in the TC. And then I asked if I could cancel and no answer. This trip cost me the double. There is no flexibility at all.

- Juliette Ducrot (4/5): Peu accueillant, sale et sans breakfast - Silencieux, la décoration de la chambre Hôte peu accueillant (pressé), chambre petite, lit étroit et peu confortable, salle de bain petite et sale (tâches noires et jaunâtres sur les serviettes, coins de douche noirs), peu d'équipements (pas de cintres dans la penderie, bocal de café quasiment vide). De plus, pas de petit-déjeuner possible alors qu'il s'agit d'un Bed & Breakfast.
- Gregory (9/5): - Beds were comfortable and there was a pleasant view from the room. The host was very friendly. And the location was close to some good pubs. N/A
- Christie (7/5): Would have been good if mold wasn’t an issue - The room was nicely decorated and a great size, with a large closet and a table with 2 chairs. Unfortunately, the bathroom had visible mold in the shower and on the ceiling, and emitted such a strong smell we had to keep the door closed. Not sure it was healthy for us to be in there to shower. Lastly, with a pedestal sink and no shelves in the bathroom or the shower, there was nowhere to keep things to get ready. Far from town, mold in the bathroom, no breakfast (the sign outside says it is a bed and breakfast)
- Severin (7/5): - Spacious room Quite unfriendly host. Not hostile but we were greeted with only the necessary words of explanation. Contact with the host only via WhatsApp. We ran into the host in the morning by pure chance, but not a single word was spoken (I.e. no "have a nice stay", "good morning" etc.)
All in all we didn't feel welcome guests but rather tolerated.
- Guido (9/5): Ottimo alloggio, consigliatissimo - Tutto, posto tranquillo, camere ampie e confortevoli, soluzione ideale se si ha la possibilità di spostarsi in autonomia in macchina. È stato l'unico B&B che non offrisse la colazione, questa l'unica pecca, nonostante ci fosse a disposizione il bollitore e quanto necessario per un thè o per un caffè macchiato.
- Curtis (7/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): We enjoyed staying at Foxhollow, even if it was only for one night. It was clean and cozy! - We enjoyed the friendly staff who gave us local tips and let us check in early. The room was clean and close to the sights we wanted to see in Blarney. N/a
- Prado GA (9/5): - La casa es muy bonita y con mucho gusto Compartes casa con los anfitriones
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Lena (8/5): - We enjoyed staying here! Price is okay but maybe a bit higher than comparable accomodations.
- Valentina (7/5): Consigliato - Alloggio confortevole Nulla da segnalare
- Andrea (8/5): - Bella camera e la signora molto gentile! Avrei preferito ci fosse la colazione
- Diego (8/5): Good place overall but check in time and host experience could be improved - Modern and very clean accommodation with a comfy bed that made our stay comfortable The early 8 pm check in was inconvenient compared to other places on our trip and the owner felt rushed and not very welcoming which was disappointing considering the positive reviews we read
- Guest (10/5): -
- Martin (10/5): -
- Virginie (9/5): Un bel emplacement pour visiter le château et le parc magnifique de Blarney - La maison est dans un quartier calme, à quelques minutes à pieds du château de Blarney. La chambre est confortable et présente tous les avantages, avec en plus le confort d'être indépendant. Le jardin est agréable et accueillant.
- Delphine (8/5): Très belle découverte - La proximité de la ville de Cork, le calme de l’environnement J’ai réservé pour un B&B.
Malheureusement nous n’avons pas eu le petit déjeuner. Donc un peu décevant.
- Carolyn (9/5): Good base to explore Blarney - Well situated to explore Blarney castle and nearby Cork. Clean and comfortable, very quiet location Nothing
- Marcel (8/5): - Fernseher kaputt, kein Frühstück
- DM (9/5): Gewoon goed -
- Jasmine (10/5): Amazing. Would stay again - Check in was quick and easy. Loved the home feel.
- Janice (9/5): -
- Margaret (10/5): Warm welcome in a clean and comfortable house. - No breakfast, but we had an early flight and didn't want one any way. Kettle in room. You can get breakfast in the town.
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Sam (7/5): -
- Martin (8/5): -
- Albert (10/5): - Our host was so kind and helpful. It is a perfect spot, just a 15 minute walk away from the castle and town.
- Hwajeong (7/5): - The room was clean and well organized. Also, the host helped me to solve problem even in the late night! It would be nice if there was a notification of a dog.
- Kornelia (7/5): Schönes Haus aber den Zimmerpreis nich wert - Optisch sehr schön Die Ausstattung und die Sauberkeit lassen zu Wünschen übrig. Keine Steckdose im Bad, die Matratze sollte getauscht werden. Harre in der Dusche
- Judy (10/5): Vicki was a great host even bought me a hot water bottle. - A lovely decorated room, quiet and wonderful host.
- Sally (8/5): Modern, attractive and comfortable accommodation with a helpful host. - We had a modern and beautifully decorated room. Vicky was helpful with advice. Everything, including the bed, was comfortable and clean. It was a shortish walk down to Blarney village to the pubs and restaurants there, and very convenient for Blarney Castle. Everything was good. The only small issue was we couldn’t find any power points, other than those near the floor, into which to plug the electric jug, so had to place it on the floor to boil. Of course, maybe we just didn’t look hard enough
- barbara (10/5): -
- Fiona (10/5): Lovely Place to Stay - Friendly host, comfortable, clean and safe place to stay. N/A
- Anja (10/5): - The owner was so lovely and nice. She gave us great tips for parking in Cork.
The area was peacefull.
The room was bright and realy nicely decorated. We enjoyed it!
- Derek & Jeanette (8/5): - After booking, I received an email stating breakfast was no longer being served. That should have been indicated on the booking.com web page. I booked after reading previous reviews that stated breakfast was delicious. So quite disappointing.
- Susan (9/5): -
- Mary Ann (9/5): It was quick overnight stay. - We could walk to the restaurants and bars.
- Lizabeth (9/5): Good place to stay near Blarney Castle and Gardens - Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Nothing too fancy, but great location near Blarney Castle. We were able to walk into town for dinner and drinks. No breakfast, but fairly reasonably priced for just a nights stay.
Would definitly stay there again.
- Lluís (8/5): - La situació i l'habitació Feia una mica de fred al matí.
- Meri Jones (10/5): Perfect location, wonderful staff; highly recommend!! - Location was excellent, and our hostess was very friendly and helpful with directions and answering questions. I would absolutely recommend Foxhollow house!
- Serena (7/5): -
- Susan (9/5): -

- Harold (9/5): Very clean and comfortable -
- Karen (8/5): Decent accommodation with a friendly and helpful owner. - It was clean and tidy. Good facilities.
- SusanaFMck (9/5): A relaxing spot in a pleasant setting - Foxhollow House is within a lovely, well maintained building with a pleasing outlook. The room was ample, very well laid out, clean and comfortable. Host was very attentive. WiFi and Netflix were great. Breakfast was basic but good. Location was good. The location is good but without a car, getting into the main centre of Blarney could prove to be a bit of a trek for some. The bathroom could use some extra shelves for toiletries and such. Other than that (minor issue, really), our stay at Foxhollow House was pleasant and very comfortable.
- Marion (10/5): Great - We stayed only one night but we could have stayed longer!
The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood, and really not far away from the castle or bars and restaurants. We went to dinner in one of the pub, it was crowded just like we wanted it to be, people singing and chatting all together, it's great!
The room is big, comfy, I felt at home. We had a minor incident with the toilet when we arrived, but our lively host fixed it immediately! I felt she really wanted us to feel good in her home.
- Jane (9/5): A comfortable room in a good location - Clean, comfortable and close to where we wanted to go! Helpful host. Nothing
- pj (9/5): -
- Schuster (8/5): - Sehr schöne und gut ausgestattete Zimmer!

Shower had mould on the ceiling.
- Shawn (9/5): -
- Fernando (10/5): -
- sebastiano (8/5): -
- Polina (10/5): - Amazing place with super kind host!
- Fran (10/5): -
- Carolyn (10/5): - This was a great place for our one night in Cork. The host was very welcoming and the room was very nice.
- David (9/5): Accommodation near Blarney Castle - Great accommodation, with ensuite shower near to Blarney Castle. Lovely welcome from our host. Tea /coffee provided in room. Continental breakfast was good.
- Sylvia (10/5): - Everything was perfect! A beautiful house, a spacious room, a comfortable bed. Our host was very friendly and helpful. We would be happy to stay here again!
- Thomas (9/5): Quiet, well appointed accommodation to rest our heads. - The home looks and feels newer, with well appointed rooms and ensuites. We were welcomed immediately with kindness and warmth. As Foxhollow house is just outside of the town center, it was quiet and yet very easy to navigate to. We appreciated the dinner recommendations provided, and although we did not avail ourselves of the continental breakfast, it looked to be well portioned. Everything met our expectations!
- Kelsey (10/5): -
- Christine (10/5): Schön und komfortabel - Ein richtig gemütliches, sauberes, ruhiges Zimmer. Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Nichts.

Clean.
Incredible location to local food establishments and Blarney Castle.

Fan in the room.
Private entrance.
- Susan (10/5): -
- Noel (10/5): A great base for exploring Kobh, Cork, Blarney and Kinsale. Stayed 3 nights could have spent longer. - Everything, from the comfort of the bed, lovely breakfast, fantastic host. Couldn’t fault the stay, everything was great.
- Pamela (10/5): Great host. - Walking distance to historical sites.
- Brian (10/5): -
- Jerry (9/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Lovely decorations and fairly new building - Vicky is a lovely welcoming host. The small breakfast she provides (though no breakfast us supposed to be included!) is more than enough if you don't need a big cooked breakfast to be happy in the morning Super marginal: Although it was raining during our stay, the air in the room was quite dry. A common accommodation problem, to be fair
- roger (10/5): Excellent relaxing short stay. - Vicky went above and beyond. Very comfortable bed and room. Nicely presented choice of continental breakfast. Car parking on site.
- Josh (10/5): -
- M. E. (10/5): - Prima ruimte Naar een restaurant is een half uur lopen maar dat was voor ons geen bezwaar
- Nadja (8/5): -
- Jorge (9/5): 100% recomendable - El alojamiento era muchísimo mejor de lo esperado, en persona es mucho más bonito, la anfitriona Becky era muy agradable, nos ayudó a calentar nuestra comida y nos ofreció desayuno en un comedor precioso
- Diedericks (9/5): -
- Laira75 (10/5): Splendida sistemazione per vedere il Blarney Castle - Casetta splendidamente arredata con comodo parcheggio antistante l'abitazione, proprietaria cortese, simpatica e disponibile oltre che gentilissima. Ci ha fornito anche ottimi consigli per la cena. La stanza arredata con gusto e di recente ristrutturazione oltre il letto ha un comodo tavolino, il bagno è piccolo ma ben sfruttato.
La colazione buona e servita in una graziosissima saletta al pian terreno.
Posizione comoda per vedere il Blarney Castle, dista un paio di chilometri. Suggerirei semplicemente l'aggiunta di qualche appoggio o gancio supplementare in bagno, per il resto un'ottima sistemazione.
- Gail (9/5): - Location was great - just out of Blarney village - and nice and quiet. Room was clean and comfortable. Great continental breakfast. Nothing 😊
- Laetitia (8/5): 1 night in Blarney. - Light and bright. Clean, able to open windows for fresh air. Walking distance to town. Bed moved to much making it uncomfortable to sleep
- Kimberlee (10/5): -
- Monge (10/5): B&B near the Blarney Stine - We had a great overnight stay. We had an enjoyable 20 minute walk for dinner. Nice continental breakfast as well

Accueil très sympathique et de bons conseils

- Geoffrey (8/5): -
- Gabriele (9/5): - Stanze accoglienti, personale gentile.
- Dann (10/5): Enjoyed the stay. Location was perfect, away from the city yet close enough to tourist spots. - Breakfast was limited, but knew this when renting. Vicky is a wonderful hostess and a joy to have casual conversations.
- Michael (9/5): -
- Odelle (10/5): - The host was amazing, nothing too much trouble. The room was spacious, nicely appointed, can't complain. Nothing
