The next morning we got the breakfast and it was actually really nice but the cutlery and plates were not in the best condition. Honestly would never stay here again unless they did huge works and actually put in the effort to detail. ##### Jordan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 27 Aug 2022 ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 6 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic hotel. Highly recommended The accommodation at the Bosun is fantastic. We stayed for 4 nights visiting family who live just up the road. Everything about the place is lovely. The view across the river to Cobh is stunning. The room was lovely. It had everything we needed. The shower was amazing! We had breakfast each day. The “full Irish” was incredible. The nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. Special shout out to Nicky and the girls who couldn’t do enough for us. There is free parking in the Bosuns own car park across the road. We could see our car from our room. The food in the pub for lunch or dinner is gorgeous. If you like sea food you’re in for a treat. I had the mussels which were beautifully baked with a garlic crust one night. Delish! Monkstown is a lovely little town and a great place to base yourself whilst exploring Cork. We had a trip out to Kinsale, a 30 minute drive, which is well worth a visit. We will definitely return to the Bosun. Can’t recommend highly enough ##### Julie Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 29 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Bosun Excellent friendly service with a smile.Clean and tidy.

Covid makes this a bit difficult. From the very beginning Don made every effort to make me feel welcome. Everything was explained thoroughly with promises to fix the Wi-Fi, which was not their issue, as quickly as possible and it was. Even though the attached pub and restaurant was closed, they gave me 4-5 options for each night for dinner. I was the only guest/diner most nights and the food was excellent. Breakfasts went from cereal, to full Irish, and anything in-between. Nick had no issue with special requests and was eager to please. Come hungry!! The rooms were clean comfortable and had daily service. Overall a great experience. ##### Kurt Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stuart 17 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### stuart Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank 25 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Well run, Family Hotel Excellent Place to Stay- Breakfast was amazing - better than many a hotel - Parking was easy - convenient to the City, Cobh, Fota , Amazing Sea food in adjacent restaurant .Covid Aware - Fully recommend this the Bosun ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Actons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Actons-Hotel.h974919.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Ghana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Ghana-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d65-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Yugo Explore - Lee Point](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Lee-Point.h40915436.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Hilton-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1194461.Hotel-Information) > > [Castleknock Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Castleknock-Hotel.h1226712.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Cork](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cork.h13262.Hotel-Information) > > [Fota Island Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fota-Hotels-Fota-Island-Hotel-Spa.h1400061.Hotel-Information) > > [Isaacs Hotel Cork City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Isaacs-Hotel-Cork-City.h916601.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Cannes Riviera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cannes-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Cannes-Riviera-Hotel-Spa.h562169.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Shandon-Cork.h115365.Hotel-Information) > > [The Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Plaza-Hotel.h114399.Hotel-Information) > > [The Maritime Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bantry-Hotels-The-Maritime-Hotel.h1778196.Hotel-Information) > > [Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clonakilty-Hotels-Inchydoney-Island-Lodge-Spa.h907892.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Hotel Blanchardstown by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Blanchardstown.h1956094.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Imperial-Hotel.h565670.Hotel-Information) > > [Ouvane Falls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bantry-Hotels-Ouvane-Falls.h38367069.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Tallaght](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Leisure-Centre-Tallaght.h1744924.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Mercure-Milton-Keynes.h3880.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cumnock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels.d6025752.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Fitzpatrick-Castle-Hotel.h1152602.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel South Mall Cork City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-South-Mall-Cork-City.h26727393.Hotel-Information) > > [The Metropole Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-The-Metropole-Hotel.h23546.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cork City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cork-City.h1151975.Hotel-Information) > > [Glashaus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Glashaus-Hotel.h1819484.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [Cyprus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/45/Cyprus) ### General > [Visit Pornichet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pornichet.dx5849)
