Set in Cork and only 20 km from Blarney Stone, HighTree House offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Carol greeted us very warmly, with incredible hospitality. She welcomed us with a genuine smile, despite arriving at 1:00 am, immediately making us feel at ease and comfortable. The breakfast was also so tasty! The atmosphere was filled with kindness and warmth, and it was clear that they had put great effort into making us feel at home. From the beautifully arranged space to the thoughtful touches throughout, every detail spoke of her care and dedication. It was truly heartwarming to experience such a gracious and generous welcome.

Lovely room, walking distance to the centre of town. The bed was a bit hard. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable, they were all too bulky, I slept on a towel rolled up under my head.

Featuring 3-star accommodation, Crawford House- ScholarLee Living Apartments is situated in Cork, 400 metres from University College Cork and 1.2 km from Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral.

On arrival, we checked in at the Crawford House reception. The apartment was next door. We were able to park at the front of the building, off road. Excellent. The one bed apartment was spotless. Fantastic facilities, kettle, fridge, etc. TV in a living area. Bedroom ensuite was very comfortable. The location was ideal for downtown or university hospital. We would definitely stay again. Would recommend 👌
