Can’t fault this placeCarrigaline is a strange little town, like ski jump Main Street,
the Glenwood House is right at the top, probably 20 mins walk to the centre – where there
are a couple of good places to eat – Spice Indian Cuisine I must recommend. Anyway, as
the Carrigaline Court, the 4 star show piece is now (a reduced) 85 Euro a night, I chose
this place as its 54 – the saving pays for a nice evening meal. Glenwood is spotless,
very modern, warm and tastefully furnished. Very polite and entertaining guy runs the
place. WIFI everywhere in the lodge which is great. Very comfortable bed, immaculate new
bathroom and shower – like I said earlier, spotless. Outside it says Enon Ronnay award
breakfast … fresh ‘bits in’ orange juice, the tastiest sausages and bacon plus local
specialty sort of black n white puddings – classic Irish ‘hort’-attack stuff, but great
OCCASIONALLY. I mentioned the excellent sausage to him, he said he only uses the one
quality supplier, and for the bacon – he said you can get some ‘rubbish bacon’, but he’s
very choosy with his – and its shows when you eat it. Can’t fault this place. Book it.
A Great Base I stayed in this B&B while on a business trip and I was very impressed. The
owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The bedroom and bathroom were very well
maintained, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was really incredible – a
selection of three home made jams as well as amazing sausages, rashers and wonderful
coffee. There were loads of little touches to make my stay pleasant, including the day’s
newspapers in the dining room, and the fact that because of the very cold weather, he had
an electric heater in my room in case I needed it. It also appeared to be very accessible
for wheelchair users as it is all on one floor.I would throroughly recommend this B&B for
anyone in the area, but I have to admit that there is not a huge amount to do in the town
itself. Apparently it is a good base if you are driving around the county
Fabulous Guest House
From entering to leaving our host could not have been more helpful and informative. Our
room was of 4 star hotel standard, spacious, well decorated and very comfortable. It was
very clean, as was the ensuite. The guests lounge was also very welcoming with ample
brochures on local attractions and drives. The breakfast was tasty with a wide varity
from an extensive menu. Service was friendly and prompt. I would definately recommend
Glenwood House and will be back next time we are in the area
Not To Be Mised
Great value ,good parking , wonderfull hosts , comfortable rooms with the best breakfast
in Ireland. very good location to travel and see southern Ireland which was wonderfull.
Excellent!”
Nothing more can describe the recent stay with Adrian and Noelle.
Great B&B, warm welcome, well appointed rooms with everything you need. Great sleep- as
crey18 says this is an added benefit as I would normally not sleep well first night in
another bed.
Fresh cooked breakfast- yummy.
So much better overall than big hotels where you are just another number.
A welcoming and restful place to stay”
So convenient to Cork City and Kinsale, this lovely guesthouse is a great home away from
home for travellers. Wonderful and welcoming host with helpful local information, great
breakfast and very peaceful and restful room with a serene mature garden outside the
window. We definitely recommend this place and look forward to going back next time we
travel to Ireland. Thank you, Adrian, for everything!
First Class B&B”
We stayed recently in Glenwood House and we were hugely impressed with this delightful
B&B. Excellent service, great room, quiet surroundings and delicious breakfast. Glenwood
House provides brilliant value for money and we would not stay anywhere else while
staying in the Cork area. Highly recommended !
Great B&B”
I travel in Ireland a lot and stay in hotels and B&Bs. This is one of the best ever I’ve
stayed in. The people are nice, the decor and furniture is fresh & new., the breakfast is
lovely with freshly squeezed oj and fresh fruit. They also have plums poached in vanilla
& star anise! There is flat screen TVs and free wifi. The price is very good value. The
bed was lovely & firm. It’s ideal for me as I do a lot of work in Ringaskiddy but it’s
very close to Cork & on the was to the west. I’ll be back
