Charming Victorian Home

Loved the house and location! Could use more comfortable living room chairs for older guests!

Awesome location led to a wonderful visit to Cobh! Very comfortable house for our family of five adults.

Loved our stay in Cobh. Pronounced Cove. Nice kitchen with everything you would need to cook for 6 people. This house is old, but very functional. Great location is Cobh! Street parking is available but can be challenging because the street is very steep. House is in the middle so walking up or down is a workout. Be aware that Cobh is a cruise ship town and Wed/Thurs is much busier. Loved this location.

House had a lot of dust and cobwebs. sheets were pilled and itchy. Some things were outdated in manual. Furnishings are very well used. Bath upgrades were wonderful! Gorgeous views from every window. Location is perfect but be aware street is very steep. Hosts very responsive and kind.

Unfortunately, the first impression we formed as we entered the property was that it smelled bad. The property had an unpleasant odor —-fuel oil? mildew? We promptly attempted to air the place out by opening the windows, but the windows in front of home did not open at all and others needed to be propped open. There were loads of spider webs and dead bugs around the windows as well as mold in the upstairs bedroom windows. Yuck. we ended up purchasing Febreeze and assorted other air fresheners, which really didn’t help much. The kitchen could use a microwave, which may have been helpful since only 2 of 5 burners on stove worked, and the oven door does not seal well. The “house manual” left at the property was helpful in deciphering how to use the hot water, stove, etc but it also said there was an IPOD/IPAD dock. We found a boom box instead. Didn’t bring our CD collection, so, not very useful, but not a big deal. TV did not seem to function, but also not a big deal to us. Furnishings were ok, not great. Did not find the outdoor space that was advertised unless that refers to the little area off the kitchen that housed the oil and gas tanks and was unusable for any other purpose. There was a lovely park across the street, however. Beds were comfortable enough, washer and dryer were great and there were plenty of linens and hot water. So, overall, the property was adequate for our purposes, but seems neglected and needs attention. Would not repeat.

This house needs updating. The couches are very old. There was no blow dryer and the clothes dryer did not work and had not worked for some time as it was stated in the paperwork in the house. There was tea and the sugar had bugs in it. While the location is great, this house needs some TLC.

This row house is in an excellent location! It was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

It is a stunning place with old world charm. The parking on the street can be challenging but overall the location and place was amazing.

Staying in a Deck of Cards house… a dream come true! The home was better than imagined for our large family (2 adults, 6 kids). Location was perfect and we especially liked the gassy park across the street. The host was super helpful and responsive. We would definitely recommend and stay again!

Such a disappointment… the house description states it is a recently renovated charming property - in reality it is currently in need of a complete makeover . I later learnt the property was renovated in 2013 and it appears to me it has not been updated since that date . The overwhelming smell of fish greeted us as we entered the property and permeated the downstairs area. Despite opening windows and using air freshener the smell was still lingering after 4 days ! The house is supposed to cater for up to 10 guests- we were a group of 8 - but there were only 5 mugs, 6 side plates and 4 useable wine glasses. After requesting additional crockery these were provided after 2 attempts but this was not a good start to the holiday . Other issues were: Cracked tiles and wobbly taps in the bathroom , no blinds on the velux window in the attic or on the bathroom window, broken lock on the main bathroom door, water leak by the fridge. On a positive note, the location of the house is brilliant . Such a shame the description of the house is not met in reality .
