Anam Cara Bed & Breakfast

I had a lovely stay here. 3 nights, but I wish it had been longer. The location is so great! Far enough away to be quiet, but only 10 min walk to the center of the city. Beautiful trails and paths to walk on, great pubs a five minute walk away. Gracious hosts and delicious breakfast. I loved my stay.

Anam Cara was comfortable and met our needs although not the best B&B we have stayed in Ireland. The beds were comfortable and the wifi fast and reliable. The room was warm and cosy with two windows for ventilation. There was a spare duvet in the cupboard which was much appreciated. Location is very good and easy walk to a couple of pubs for meals on Washington Street and 10 min walk to main shopping in Cork on St Patrick Street as well as the English Food Market. We stayed in Room #2 which needs some plumbing attention. The shower base filled with water very quickly and took a while to drain. On two occasions, morning and evening, I went to take a shower to discover that there was no hot water so chose not to shower. Free off street parking out the back is a bonus.

We came for a long weekend having hired a car at the airport. Although the rear carpark was full, there was ample room within the front of the property. We had a lovely welcome from Tim who provided some great recommendations for pubs etc. The double room was spacious and well appointed with a roomy wardrobe, dressing table with mirror over and kettle tea, coffee and biscuits provided. The bathroom was very adequate, although a little tired. The shower was plenty powerful, easy to use and hot. Breakfast was served in probably the best BB dining room we've ever been to. Café style, Aideen was very attentive and the food excellent. Altogether, a great stay and highly recommended.

Aideen and her husband were welcoming and lovely hosts. She was quick with the jokes and he made amazing breakfasts. The facilities were clean and well cared for. Pubs and restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a quiet place to stay in downtown Cork. You will not be disappointed. Its simply lovely.

Place was fine. Breakfast not great. Told them I was vegetarian but she kept saving what ever was on the menu. No way helpful.

Anam Cara is a cosy guest house with great service and a friendly atmosphere. It's situated in a perfect location for exploring the city, and offers a superb breakfast menu. Aideen and Tim are warm and welcoming hosts, providing helpful advice and good conversation.

Had a lovely warm welcome from the host. She was so kind. The carpark at the rear was full, but she kindly let us park in front of the B&B. The room was lovely and clean as was the bathroom. Although we didn't avail of the breakfast it smelt good and the host told us to come back for the breakfast if we changed our mind, very thoughtful of her. Would highly recommend.

This is a very nice place, clean and comfortable. It's walking distance (5-15 minute's) to in town sights, shopping, bars, and restaurants. The couple that owns it were very helpful and the included breakfast very good. Free parking also! It's a college area, so a bit of noise on the weekend nights with the windows open.

Wonderful owners, a great downtown location and soft, down pillows and comforters make this cozy B&B perfect for touring the city of Cork. Stayed two nights, and slept well both of them. Parking is free, which is handy for a downtown area. The included breakfast, from the next door Serendipity Cafe, was the best breakfast I ate in Ireland! Only downside was that my room was extremely small, and the bathroom minuscule. However, this B&B was so welcoming, I'd stay there again!

Beautiful Place to stay , 5 mins to City Centre, freindly service, wonderful breakfast to set you up for the day
