Traveling solo on this trip, I felt so comfortable and safe at the Lancaster Lodge. Easy walk from hotel into central Cork. Loved the location on the river. Staff couldn't have been more kind and helpful.

Really enjoyed my stay here! The place was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed for a short city break. It’s in a great location just a short walk to the city centre and the free parking was a big bonus. Despite being close to town, it was nice and quiet at night, which made for a great sleep. Check-in was smooth, and the whole experience felt easy and relaxed. Simple setup, but excellent value. Would definitely stay again!

This is clearly the best place we stayed during our trip to Ireland. The quality of the rooms, the breakfast lounge & the upstairs lounge is quite simply excellent. The owner as well as his staff are extremely service oriented & we cannot find a single thing we would have wanted different. We enjoyed a long walk & all the horses along our way. As an extra spice, Ruby, the young resident dog followed us & she is just SO cute..😁

    Carol is a lovely hostess, very welcoming and considerate. Our room was beautifully decorated. Really comfortable bed. Had the best night's sleep in a long time. Breakfast was tasty and Carol bought Greek yoghurt especially for my daughter.
