About this property

Waterfront period house

An elegant period house, on the waterfront in Monkstown, Cork. 20 minutes drive from Cork City and airport. Not quite "Sitting at the Dock of the Bay" but close. Chillax or not, that is the question ? Lovely leisurely local walks, on the Greenway old rail line, throw your canoe or paddle board over the wall (tidal). Perfect base for nearby attractions and activities, Fota Wildlife Park / House/ Adventure, Spike Island/ Fort Camden, Funkytown, cross river ferry to Cobh heritage town.
Built in 1842 retaining many original features.
Bright and airy, large rooms, high ceilings. The kitchen/ living room is in the basement with atmospheric log burning stove, lower ceiling here, access to split level back yard/garden/ back lane parking space.

William was terrific! He’s a very accommodating host! The house is beautiful and very comfortable. Easy access to Cork and Cobh. The Boson Restaurant down the street from the house is a great please for lunch and dinner, the staff are very friendly and the food delicious.

William was a wonderful host. We arrived early and he accommodated us with no problems. One of the most impressive things about our host was how friendly and interested he was in us having a wonderful visit to Ireland. He supplied us with milk, bread, eggs, butter, coffee, and fruit. His rationale; “I know the last thing you want to have to do is shop for food for breakfast when you arrive. William was an exemplary host. Our experience wouldn’t have been as good without him.

Monkstown Stay

The house was absolutely stunning! The hosts were great, they greeted us on arrival and had even put a fire on in the stove! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The air hockey table upstairs in particular was a great hit with the kids.

Beautiful period house. Just charming. be prepared for stairs over 4 levels. William was thoughtful and informative host. Only drawback (if there was one) was not much in walking distance-1 restaurant which had good food. Many things to do in nearby area. Recommend Fota Nature park , just exceptional "zoo"

Charmibg Monkstown

This was the perfect spot for us to explore Cork and the surroundings. We most enjoyed coffee/tea in the morning in the private yard overlooking the bay. Spectacular views and charming home and genuine antique furnishings took us back in time. William was most helpful meeting us to walk through the house. Easy checkin and checkout. Wonderful stay.

Waterfront Period House

This property is a beautifully restored home. It had everything we wanted and needed. The location was perfect. The home faced the waterfront and was a short walk to the local restaurant and pub. William was friendly, informative and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved our time visiting Monkstown and surrounding area.

Excellent location, fantastic hosts.

My family stayed here for one leg of our recent family vacation to Ireland. We were looking for something in County Cork outside of Cork City. This fit the bill perfectly. We enjoyed the views from the front of the house, the character of the historic home, and the easy access to many local sights. The owners were incredibly helpful with recommendations for things to do while in the area, gave a very helpful and very responsive. If ever in the area again, I would book again. Highly recommend!
