Things can get noisy
Because this B&B is located in the centre of Cork, things can get noisy, especially at night. If you're looking for a quiet stay, be sure to book a room at the rear of the property, as the side street is as noisy as the one that fronts the property.
negative:
Some rooms are smaller than others
Some of the guest rooms here are rather small which could be a problem if you need extra room to maneouvre, have a lot of luggage or are travelling with more than one person.
negative:
Parking is limited
Although Achill Guest House does offer free on-sire parking, the car park is rather small. This can mean you might have trouble parking, especially during peak season and on weekends, so be sure to make a car park reservation when you book.
