9 of us rented the house for a hen do - and we were really pleased. The hosts couldn't do enough to help, answering questions, providing taxi numbers, taking our tesco delivery in... and the house itself was even better than the pictures suggest. The living space was big enough for fun and games, the kitchen had everything you need and there are loads of beds and bathrooms. A bit of a walk from town centre, but taxis are very reasonable.

Many many thanks to Una, Dominic and Angela for making our stay such a brilliant one!

Being the best man it was my job to find the accommodation in Cork for the stag party, and we found a cracker!! 12 of us, blokes ranging from late 20s to early 60s, stayed in the 5-bed house, in the courtyard.
The house had a large bedroom off the lounge and 4 good sized bedrooms upstairs. The massive lounge / kitchen / dinner was fantastic as we were all together as a group and it was secluded enough that we didn't disturb anyone. It even has its own access.
Una, the host, was fantastic and couldn't do enough for us, she even went shopping for us so it was all ready when we got there :)
The place is about 10 min walk to the bars and 15 min walk to town (or a cheap taxi).
I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We all said we would go back in an instant!

We stayed at Acton Lodge for my Brothers stag weekend in Nov 2008. There were 13 of us and we had the self contained house to ourselves and some rooms in the main house.

I have honestly not met such friendly people, Dominic, Una and their Daughter, went above and beyond what they needed to and it really made the difference.

For example, we went to the dogs on Friday and Dominic didnt think that it has race nights on that day and came over especially to tell us and gave me his phone to ring and check as he didnt want us to have a wasted journey. Also Una brought an extra iron over for us and it was these little touches that were so nice.

The downstairs area with kitchen and sitting room etc in the house in massive and even when all 13 of us where it there we looked lost! All the bedrooms have shower rooms and they were all great.

It was so nice to go out for the nights etc and be able to come back and all sit up drinking and chatting, in a way you cant in a hotel.

It cost us 80 euros each for whole weekend (so cheap!) and was just brilliant from start to finish.

I seriously cannot praise this place enough, if you are a large party etc this is the place to stay, its so close to everywhere u need to be and the welcome was just fantastic, it was like a home from home.

Thanks again Dominic and Una!

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor we booked in here and when we got there we wondered if we were in the right place. Greeted by a man who said he'd expected us earlier (well there was a bit of a delay with the hire car but Acton had our credit card details), gave us breakfast times, told us our room was on the first floor and gave us a key. It was fine but not as warm a welcome as we received at other places. Twin room, as requested, had a double and 2 singles plus a lot of old furniture and a bed lamp and it had the ambience of a boarding house. Was noisy between the road out front and the stairs on the other side of the thin walls. No glasses in the room or tea/coffee facilities.
Breakfast was a fine Irish fry up, but at 80 euros for two, we found nicer and cheaper places in other towns.
