Wonderful accomodation for those seeking a relaxing time by the river Blackwater. We had a wonderfuly room with all modern amenities in an old traditional town house.
The town of Fermoy has a history and present worth absorbing. Wonderful walks along the riverbank and fishing for those who like to relax by an open river.

we have visited fermoy many times and found that food and accomadation was average
but in july this year we stopped at virginia house.we were very pleased with the friendly
welcome we recieved.we found the rooms to be clean and tidy with an excellent breakfast also very good rates.i would be happy to reccomened anyone going to fermoy
to stay with mary and leo at the virginia house

tom/bridget/maureen from birmingham

On arrival we were given a very friendly welcome by Mary, our hostess.
Host Leo was equally friendly and helped with maps, directions and suggestions for places to visit.
The room was large and clean as was the en-suite.
Breakfasts were excellent and provided us with energy for the days' travels.
We found Fermoy to be an interesting town and a good central point to explore to Kilkenny and Waterford in the east and Limerick, Kilarney and Bantry in the west.
Fermoy has several restaurants including French, Italian and Chinese (among others).
If you stay ask Leo to tell you about the views from the local reservoir, the ancient burial stones or the Blackwater River swimming club events.

We enjoyed our 7 night stay immensely and would heartily recommend Virginia House.
Thanks to Mary and Leo.

If you want home from home, then this place is it! Leo and Mary are two of the most hospitable people I have ever met. The B&B is clean and tidy, the beds are comfy.

The breakfast is out of this world! Now I know what the deffinition of a hearty Irish breakfast is! Mary almost run her legs off making sure we had enough to eat. If you are vegetarian, don't worry, Mary is more than prepared to change your breakfast to suit your dietry requirements - thankfully! As much as I was told by my lot that the Black Pudding tasted lovely, there was no way it was going past my lips that's for sure!

My visit was for sad reasons, to bury my mum, but Mary & Leo's humour and hospitality sure helped at a sad time. Leo could tell you all about the local wildlife etc, which we lapped up and more, we were in our element.

Some of us noticed the traffic outside, and some didn't, in my case I think the Cork Gin might have helped some there!

We almost didn't want to leave, I think Leo had to kick us out the door and take the keys back off us incase we didn't ;O)
