Situated on the west side of Cork city centre, our distinctive guest house combines a wide range of elegant accommodation options for Business and Leisure Guests alike. We provide luxury B&B accommodation beside UCC. Our ideal location puts you minutes from the best of Cork, with shopping, museums and historic sites all nearby.

Garnish House is uniquely set, only 5 minutes from Cork city centre, opposite the famous University College Cork and is close by the N22, en route to West Cork and Kerry. From town centre, turn into Washington Street, which becomes Lancaster Quay, now a 1-way street (pass the River Lee Hotel) and shortly after becomes Western Road. Garnish House (green building, yellow sign) is 200m after the hotel on your right.

Using a GPS or Google Maps, we suggest entering the address, “18 Western Road” or postcode, T12 XH90.

The location is an ideal base for further exploration into the celebrated south-west of Ireland, including Blarney, Cobh, Kinsale, and Killarney.
