Beautiful property along the sea….close to boutiques and restaurants! Quiet, clean, and the staff were very nice and accommodating! Would stay here again!
Great location with a great restaurant attached. Very short walk in to town. Angela the front desk attendant was exceptional. We got a flat tire the morning we were to leave and she helped us in such a companionate way in a stressful situation. Highly recommend!
An old school hotel with great harm. Breakfast was excellent, plus our table looked out at the water. Room was “roomy” with plenty of space. Walkable to the train station which is next door. A terrific value.
This was a great location with large comfortable rooms and fabulous views. Service was excellent and the restaurant was also very good.
We were worried that the arrival of a cruise ship in front of the hotel in the morning would be noisy and disturbing, but it wasn’t an issue.
We loved our stay at WatersEdge. The room was lovely and had great views. The location was perfect. We had dinner in the restuarant and the staff were exceptional! Thanks for a great stay.
Overall, I’m impressed by hotel. Hotel which is near coast was beautiful and cozy. Crews were friendly and breakfast was also yummy.
I highly recommend this hotel!
The location is great, quiet but it is walking distance to town and all of major sights. Also enjoyed the Irish breakfast that was included in our stay.
What a wonderful hotel. We have traveled around the world and this hotel was one of the best. It's a beautiful small older hotel with such character and is very close to everything in the lovely town of Cobh and only a few minutes to Cork. The rooms are a amazing and the views of the water are just incredible. Nice restaurant overlooking the water on the property for dinner and breakfast. You will not be disappointed in this gem of a hotel.
Perfect location on the water and easy walk to the sites, restaurants, pubs and shops in town.
Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions.
Wonderful breakfasts to start our days. And there was onsite parking.
Will definitely recommend to anyone that is traveling there and if I’m lucky to return I will stay again.
