Auburn House Guesthouse

It was our first time in Cork and we are so happy we chose this guesthouse. The owner couple Olive and Kieran were so lovely and we had an amazing conversation and delicious homemade breakfast. The room was cozy and comfy. Meeting new people in a new place is always a treasure of traveling. Thank you two for making this trip so special and pleasant. Hope to see you again here or in Japan!

Such a lovely little B&B. This was my first time in Cork and I know it was made better by staying here. Olive and her husband are wonderful, and made sure I was comfortable while travelling alone. I didn’t have a chance to try breakfast as I was quite jet lagged and needed the rest, but it smelled INCREDIBLE. I’m vegetarian and they were happy to ensure I had something substantial to eat, had I gone for breakfast. Olive made sure I took some fruit with me on my way out to keep me going. My room was very clean and well equipped with coffee and tea. Some noise from the room next door, but Olive proactively spoke to the guests about the noise. They are located quite close to city centre and the train station. The area felt very safe, even at night. I have no complaints, I would recommend this to anyone and would gladly stay again.

Olive and Keiran are simply the best! Any small "older house typical" problems can easily be looked over when two such nice and helpful people are there for you! Everything was clean, the breakfast itself was very good and we really enjoyed the communication and overall stay. If we are every in Cork again, I'm sure that we'll check here first for availability.

I rarely write reviews but have to extol the warmth, grace, and kindness of Olive and her husband, and recommend their Auburn House B & B. It is clean and comfortable and they went out of their way to give us sightseeing tips and to ensure that our stay went well. They even parked our car for us in a nearby gated church lot and retrieved it on the day we left. And the location is perfect - far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city yet within walking distance of legendary trad-session pubs like Sinè and Cork’s marvelous city center. While street noise can be a bit loud in the front bedroom, it is all but gone by 10 pm. We’d love to return one day.

Lovely stay! Super central, comfortable, clean. Amazing breakfast. Communication with Olive and Kieran was super easy and friendly even before our arrival. They are really good hosts!

Kieran and Olive are fantastic hosts, very friendly and accommodating. There was free, secure parking nearby.|Lovely breakfast including a vegetarian option.|Good size bed though the stairs to the bedroom were a bit steep and narrow.|5 minute walk to the centre of Cork city.

Amazing and wonderful. They are so lovely and friendly. Breakfast is fantastic and rooms are cozy and comfy.

Lovely clean B&B. Olive the host was amazing, friendly, and very helpful with directions to attractions, tours, and methods of transportation. This place is conveniently located in the city of Cork and it is walking distance to pretty much everywhere. We highly recommend this guest house for anyone visiting this city. I was here 6 years ago, and I was very glad I came back.
