Detailed Reviews
I stayed at Carole Ville B & B for more then two weeks. The house is very clean and you have everything you need. The location is very close to a bus station and you can reach the City Center in 15 min. The host, Susan and her parents are kind people, very helpful. If you are visiting Cork, this is a great place to stay.

My Wife & I stayed here for two nights in October 2023. It is an excellent and very friendly B&B. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The breakfasts were very tasty (especially the home made wheaten bread). The B&B is very handy to the bus stops for the bus into and out of Cork City Centre. There is also enough off-street parking spaces for 6 cars so parking was very easy.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Carole Ville B&B. From the prompt response to the initial enquiry to checking out, everything was very professional and dealt with in a friendly manner. When we arrived we received a warm welcome from our host Susan who advised on dining options nearby and rang to confirm we would be accommodated after showing us to our rooms. The rooms were warm, bright, clean and airy, there were tea/coffee making facilities available. In the bathroom there was a range of toiletries and a lovely shower. A hairdryer, complete with attachments, was available in the drawer. The complimentary breakfast next morning was a continental style with a wide range of cereals, fruit, meats, cheeses and breads and various flavours of yoghurt, I can highly recommend the smoked salmon. Susan was continually topping up and ensuring everything was to our liking. Carole Ville is close to Pairc Ui Chaoimh and Live at the Marquee and suited our needs perfectly. I look forward to another visit to Carole Ville in the future.

Myself and my husband stayed here while attending a local wedding and it was such a comfortable and lovely stay. Susan is a wonderful host and we felt very welcome. The location is ideal with bus stop outside for the city or walking distance to local pubs and Pairc Ui Chaoimh which is ideal for matches/concerts. Without a doubt we will be back.

Due to a family bereavement and wanting to be near our family we rang Susan in Carole Ville looking for a room. Unfortunately she was fully booked but when she heard of our reasons for travelling she responded saying "leave it with me I will find you a room", joking that she would even *give us her kids beds". When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Susan (and her adorable dog Benji) saying she had done a bit of juggling and had a room for us. I was totally blown away by the room. We would have been happy with a mattress in a closet, but she had made a luxurious en suite room available for us. It was gorgeous! Beautifully decorated, warm, spotlessly clean and as we discovered when we got to bed, extremely comfortable. The bathroom was modern, bright, spotlessly clean, with a spectacular shower and gorgeous shower products which are environmentally friendly. I would normally never use products in a hotel or B&B but I had forgotten my shower soap and moisturiser and reluctantly used the shower soap and body moisturiser. They were genuinely gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious. A buffet with a huge selection of delicious food. Fresh fruit salad, muesli, cereals, eggs, smoked salmon, yoghurts, cheese, breads,, pastries, orange juice, tea and coffee. All this was enhanced by the warmth of Susan who treated us like family. I will never forget her kindness to us at such a sad time. Susan is the essence of modern Irish hospitality. Her business is very professionally run but incorporates personality and warmth. Qualities that make us want to return. Thank you Susan.

Arrived at Carole Ville B&B, was greeted by the B&B’s lovely host Susan. Susan was very flexible when accommodating our needs. We were taken to a lovely clean airy bright room, which was fully equipped to meet our needs (triple room) Susan and team couldn’t do enough for us, clean bedroom every morning, there was a great variety at breakfast continental breakfast or an Irish fry. Susan was very knowledgeable of the local area and pointed us in the right direction for whatever we were feeling that day. Great modes of transport nearby which included the very frequent 202 bus which would bring you directly in to Cork City. The B&B is located in Blackrock which is a very picturesque area and enjoyable walks and eateries near-by. Overall we loved this B&B and will hopefully be returning very soon. Thanks so much Susan and Co.

At CaroleVille BnB there is such a warm and cordial atmosphere, that you've got the idea of being at home. Susan and Denis are absolutely fantastic, helpful and deeply good hearted; they personally take care of their customers and nothing is left to chance. The rooms are elegantly furnished and in each of them there is a boiler, tea, biscuits and whatever may be useful to have a comforting stay, not to mention the rich and delicious breakfast, to which you can always add the best homemade porridge. I strongly recommend it.

Me and two other friends (about 30 years old) stayed in this beautiful B&B for 5 nights, visiting Cork and the lovely places of County Cork and the Cliffs of Moher during the day. Susan and her mother were extremely kind and welcoming, the breakfast was plentiful and of quality (both sweet and salty), the room was spacious and very clean, the neighborhood was very quiet and well connected to the city center. The best B&b we could choose to fully experience the Irish atmosphere! Perfect also for families with small children.
