This was the best bed and breakfast we've ever been to and we've stayed in lots of them. Peter and his wife were amazing hosts! And the breakfast was the best one we had on our 8 day trip thru Ireland.. don't hesitate just book this one!

Very nice home with a awesome view of the port, the hosts were very accommodating and had some very good recommendations! Especially for places to eat in the nearby Kinsale. Fisherman's catch was delicious.

It's a former military quarters slowly being converted into a rooming house. A work in progress. There is no included breakfast at present and it's a km or so to town and cafés, restaurants. There is off street parking, but only for about 5 cars with a bit of Tetris to get in and out. With all 14 rooms booked, parking on the street would be required. Yvonne, who was looking after the place when we stayed, was lovely and helpful with suggestions for where to eat and what to do. She let us keep our beer cold in the kitchen fridge - no in room fridge - and even offered us some leftovers for dinner the night we arrived.

Cosy place with a lovely atmosphere. Very nice hosts who gave us wonderful suggestions to make the most of our (too) short stay in Cork. Peter even managed to book us a table at a fully booked restaurant!

Nice location. Room was large and bed very comfortable. Bathrooms have been upgraded but needed a good cleaning of floors and walls I think. Had a nice view of the harbour. Host was very good and helpful.

If you don’t like dogs this is not the place for you as their huge dog was always around - even whilst we were having breakfast. These premises are a recent purchase by the couple and are a ‘work in progress’ project. There is no cooked breakfast option but the continental is ok and the fresh home baked soda bread was delicious !

My friend and I stayed in two rooms. Peter is a great host, full of helpful information and really friendly. The rooms were amazing and the beds were extremely comfortable. Each room having an ensuite is a bonus and doesn’t take away from the spaciousness of the room. There is also an elevator for guests with mobility issues, which is a huge bonus in guesthouses, especially if that age. If you’re a dog lover, the family dog is also a lovable gentle giant. We highly recommend this guesthouse.

Overall, we feel that our stay was good. The hosts were so helpful, kind and informative. The went above and beyond on service. The hosts were always available and very very helpful. A . The bed and shower in our room was very very good. It seems that they are starting in this Air BnB journey and will have it perfect one day. The common areas would benefit from a little cleaning and tiddying up. We enjory our stay here overall and would recommend it primarily for the host experience.

I can’t say enough good things about Peter & Fin at Lynwood! They are warm & gracious hosts. The property is cozy and clean. The furnishings are beautiful and the bathrooms are fully remodeled. It’s a short walk into town, which made our visit so easy. The coffee, tea and croissants each morning were delicious. Peter offered several suggestions on what to do locally. The Titanic Experience, the Irish Heritage Museum & St. Colman’s Cathedral were all well worth it! Loved chatting with Peter and Fin, too. HIGHLY recommend and well back on our next trip to Ireland! 🇮🇪

Updated historic building in a lovely town

Everything about the Lynwood House was wonderful! The room was beautiful, with a sitting area and a brand new on suite bathroom. There was a kettle for tea, a hair dryer, and a television. The bed was extremely comfortable and the views from the room are unmatched. Peter was so warm and welcoming, providing a bit of history and directing us to the best places in the town. We'd be glad to return on a future trip!

It was nothing like it looked on website. Booked 2 rooms. There was no heat available in each room. Roof was leaking in one room. About the worst place that I have ever stayed. Oh. no hot water in one room. Sink wasn't working, so owner said to brush teeth in the shower.

Perfect location. 10 minute walk into town. It’s an older property with nice views of the water. Breakfast was nice with croissants and coffee or tea. The host Peter is very welcoming and is knowledgeable on things to do in the area. Rooms are a bit cold but it is October and the weather was cold windy and rainy while we were there. I would recommend a stay.
