Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast, Cork, Ireland

The Place to Stay in Cork

          Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place to stay during your visit to Cork, Ireland.  As you saw in our previous article, Cork is a city you will not want to miss on your trip through the Emerald Isle.  Not only is it a beautiful city in its own right, but it’s also the gateway to Blarney Castle where you can experience some of the history of Ireland and, of course, kiss the Blarney Stone, thereby acquiring the gift of Irish gab!  I spotted Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast soon after arriving at the bus station and was delighted to learn that they had a room available for me.

A Great Location

Located in the heart of town above one of Cork’s oldest pubs (The Welcome Inn), Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast is just a short walk from restaurants, shopping, and most of the major tourist attractions, not to mention its convenient proximity to all manner of transportation.  The bus station is literally across the street and the train station is but a ten minute walk from Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast.  There is also easy access to shuttle service to the Cork airport, which is just a ten minute drive away.  Within minutes of checking in I was on a local bus headed for an afternoon of exploring Blarney Castle and in the evening I had only to step outside the door to begin my walking tour of Cork.

Friendly Atmosphere

Owners Danny and Annette Creedon will greet you like family and help you get oriented to the city of Cork and the surrounding area.  They have five rooms available and all have en suite bathrooms, television and WiFi connectivity.  I paid $57 for a wonderful, quiet room that had a nice view of the city and for a small amount more I could have added a full Irish breakfast.  Unfortunately, I had to catch an early bus the next morning for Dublin…the last stop on my trek through Ireland.  Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast met all of my criteria for an awesome accommodation.  It was clean, safe, comfortable, well located, operated by a friendly, helpful staff and a good value.  I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Danny and Annette and experiencing the Irish hospitality that comes so naturally to them.  Take it from me…Creedon’s Bed and Breakfast is where you will want to stay on your next visit to Cork, Ireland.
