About this property

Our house in the middle of the street

Our house has recently gone through a complete transformation and yet maintaining all original features. Recently refurbished to high standard, our house now has the "Waouh" factor and you will enjoy a great stay not only in the house, but also enjoying the views to the harbour and the cathedral. In the early mornings and late afternoons , you can enjoy the liners arriving and departing from the port below, while you enjoy your morning coffee or in the evening perhaps a glass of wine.
Situated in the middle of this picturesque street, West View, is one of the 23 houses built in the late 1850's and designed by Queen Victoria's Architect.
The house is on 3 levels and features:
- 4 bedrooms including one on the ground floor;
- Two traditional style bathrooms with a stand-alone bath, a separate shower, a wash basin and toilets;
- A very spacious and full of light modern kitchen with a large table;
- A separate dining room/ living-room;
- A downstairs shower-room with wash-basin, shower and toilets;
The house has everything you wish for a relaxing stay and has all the equipment to make your stay even more comfortable: tea & coffee provided washing machine, bed linen and towels, and high speed WiFi.

Spending 4-5 nights or a full week in the house is ideal as not only will you enjoy fully the house and relax there, but also you will make the most of what Cobh and the area has to offer to you. You can easily spend one day in Cobh, visiting the Cathedral, the Heritage Centre, the Titanic Museum and walking the Titanic trail. On another day, you can visit Cork city, just 25mn away by train (the train station is situated less than 10mn walk from the house), or in Fota Island (The Gardens, the Zoo or a day at the golf!). From Cobh, you can also have day-trips to Ballycotton (walking along the cliffs, visiting the Stephen Pearce Pottery (and having a nice piece of cake from their cafe), visiting the Jameson factory in Midleton, kissing the Blarney stone in Blarney Castle, and you can also in a day drive to Killarney and come back to the house!

There is so much to do in the area, and don’t forget to enjoy the great food and atmosphere in the local restaurants, and of course enjoying a nice pint in one of the local pubs!

Please note when renting this property on a monthly basis or longer, electricity and heating (gas or oil) bills must be charged separately and paid for in advance.

Only ok
Whilst this is an old building, the online description was not representative of the property. It wasn’t four bedrooms, it was three bedrooms and part of the lounge screened off by a curtain to make a so called fourth bedroom. The wardrobe in this so called bedroom was full of junk, the mirror on the front is missing. The furnishings in the lounge were all stained. There were not enough chairs to seat 10 people round the table. The beds were old and creaked and the mattresses could have been a lot better. The heating system was good and the white goods and range in the kitchen were of a good standard.The best I can say for this property was that it was adequate but didn’t meet our expectations from the description and was a disappointment.

Family Trip June 2024
Our group of 5 stayed in the house for 3 days and really enjoyed our stay. It was a great location and the house was as described. Only 2 complaints. 1-the beds/mattresses were all very thin/lumpy/noisy - made for not great sleep. 2-we originally booked for 10 people, or 2 families. However, 1 family backed out, leaving only 5 people. I messaged the owner to ask about the charge for additional people to see if it could be removed and never got a response. We wanted to stay in the house so we kept the reservations, but feel that we should not have had to pay that fee.

Great place to stay
Great location just a short walk to the waterfront and all the shops and restaurants/pins there. Host was very responsive and provided insights on grocery stores and pubs in area. Would definitely visit Cobh again and house is a great spot to do so. Just know you will get your exercise in walking back up the hill from town, but it is worth it.

Cobh is a gem
Staying in an historic home in Cobh made the stay extra special. A beautiful view of St. Colman through the window. Very spacious. Loved the house. Loved the town. Listing as described.

Good, but…
First things first, the location of this house simply cannot be beat. On the famous & much-photographed street in Cobh, you’re a short walk from everything you could want to do in this lovely town. There are wonderful views of the cathedral from several rooms, & even a glimpse of the sea from the very top room. It’s hard to imagine a better spot to have as a home base. Now then, all of that being said, one should temper one’s expectations when it comes to aesthetics. It is, in a word, rough. I write this as a great lover of old houses and owner of one myself. It has not been completely renovated as the description states. But beyond that, it’s just not a very inviting or comfortable place to be. Nothing on the walls, crates for furniture, safety pinned curtains, staples sticking out of the carpet on the stairs, a broken toilet seat, unstable tub, & so on. One of the “bedrooms” is actually the front/living room, separated from the TV area by a curtain, rendering the ground floor a no-go zone if someone is sleeping there and leaving much to be desired in the way of privacy for that person. There was a single hand towel & a single kitchen towel, nothing to wash dishes with. Overall, it felt like it need a deep cleaning, a thorough scrub to remove all of the many scuffs on the walls, & perhaps a fresh paint job with attention paid to the details. It’s a wonderful old place in a dazzling location, just in need of a fair bit of TLC. Stay here, just know what you’re getting into

PERFECT LOCATION!
We were 2 couples traveling through Ireland, this was one of our favorite stops! The waterfront town of Cobh was so cute! Great little coffee shops and restaurants literally minutes walk away. There is a little grocery store within 5 min walk that we bought snacks and drinks to have at the house. We took the commuter train (7 min walk) to Cork, super easy. The only surprise in the home was there is no dryer! We wanted to wash our clothes and didn't realize there was no dryer so we had to hang them to dry... glad we had 2 days here so they had time to dry. Besides that the house was great! Patrick was super easy to communicate with and check in/out was a breeze! Plenty of parking on the hill.

An extremely unique home with great views, location is a five minute walk from the waterfront and everything Cobh has to offer, which is a lot. Didn’t appreciate the slope of the street but knew about that going in and it’s part of its character. Host got back to us promptly and had some great insights for us too.

More like student lodgings
The house was in a brilliant location, we had a wedding locally, however the accommodation was not up to standard. One bedroom was actually the front room divided by a curtain. The downstairs shower fluctuated from burning to freezing. We wish we took our own towels and bedding. Master bedroom bed sunk in the middle. Cheap nylon curtains. No wardrobes to put clothes away or bedside cabinets. Carpet on the stairs was stapled. GO TO IKEA! Over all very disappointing and could easily be so much nicer.

Great location!
This was a great place for location. A couple small issues - the one bedroom only had curtains for privacy so was difficult for the ones that were in there to sleep if others were in the living area/kitchen. Also, doesn't have much in supplies, so make sure to pick up paper towels and other basics. But the location was a great base.

My family of 10 stayed here (half of us for two nights) and found the house to be exactly as described. The house was clean, accomodating, and within walking distance of pubs, food and views of the water. Patrick was a wonderful host and Cobh was a beautiful stop on our travels. We would stay again!

Vintage and quaint home
This home has a great location and is very walkable to everything in Cobh. Initially I thought parking was going to be a challenge but spots in front of the building were always accessible. The kitchen is newly remodeled and perfect for all five of us staying there - we were all able to comfortably cook and eat together. We were surprised to find only 2 rolls of toilet paper, no paper towels, no dish rag/sponge or dishwasher soap to use - with such a great kitchen, it seems like a crime not to cook there! The bathrooms are nicely updated. Maybe we read the instructions wrong but we were not able to get anything more than lukewarm water in the shower upstairs. The rest of the home is not remodeled and allows you to experience a more vintage feel. Be aware that you do hear a lot of road and city noise.

Locked and uncleaned.
Our stay was just fine once we were settled into a different unit. A neighbor helped us by contacting the mother of the host that lived a few doors up. She contacted her son and he was able to contact the person that cleaned the units. She came and took care of it and we were settled in (next door to the original unit) a few hours later. We walked to town, explored a bit and had dinner while we waited. The remainder of our stay was good. Plenty of space for all 4 women and we could enjoy Cobh. As an apology, the cleaning lady brought us flowers and a box of chocolates!

Why they chose this property

We have put a lot of energy and heart in the renovation of this property. We have tried to keep a great balance between the traditional features (fireplaces, high ceilings, architraves, original timber floor) and modern living. We are especially proud of the bathroom with its stand-alone bath, the kitchen with the velux and modern equipment!
We hope you will enjoy it too!

What makes this property unique

We believe the combination of original features and modern design is what makes the house unique. Indeed, because it is in the middle of the hill, you get a lot of sunlight, and you have a great views of the Harbour and of the Cathedral from nearly every windows!
