John and Mary were absolutely lovely! Wonderful hosts. Unobtrusive, but always available if we needed recommendations on where to go or help with dinner reservations. We booked 3 rooms for our family vacation, and each one was fantastic. Nice sized rooms with very comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, and - our favorite - comfortable recliner chairs in all of our rooms! Perfect for relaxing in the evenings after sightseeing in nearby Cork and Cobh. We loved walking along the sea in Youghal, and walking to different restaurants for dinner. I can't close without mentioning the delicious breakfasts - ok, they were our favorite thing at the Avonmore! We loved the morning yogurt with berry compote and the hot menu selections. We each had a favorite - the ham, cheese & onion omelet, the smoked salmon with perfectly scrambled eggs, and the sourdough pancakes. All are missed now that we're home. You must try John's soda bread with jam. Yum! We would definitely stay there again.

This was a great choice for us for a 3 night stay. Good location, easy to find and very central for what we wanted to do in the area. On arrival, we had a very warm welcome from Mary. Check in was easy and we were shown to room 2, beautiful. Big bed, excellent quality. Whirlpool bath and separate shower in the large bathroom. Everything was spotless and nicely styled, we loved the artwork in our room, and throughout the house (Mary also being the artist in residence!) Breakfasts were sensational, very generous and beautifully presented by John ( a graduate from Ballymaloe Cookery School) The hosts were really helpful with where to eat and places to visit too. These guys are a terrific double act, and make this place work beyond what one might expect from a b&b. We would definitely recommend Avonmore House.

Very well maintained and organised. Location is very close to all the amenities in town. The host, Mr. John, made me feel very much at home and was kind and extremely welcoming, he was the first person I spoke with as soon as I came to Youghal and I immediately fell in love with the place and its people. I enjoyed every bit of my stay at this place. The room was very comfortable and after a tiresome day I would immediately fall asleep peacefully given the warm and serene ambience of the surroundings, I had the most memorable first time in Youghal and will definitely return again someday, I highly recommend this place.

My partner and I had the most wonderful stay at Avonmore House in Youghal, and it was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Mary and John, whose hospitality truly made our visit unforgettable. Their genuine kindness and attention to detail made us feel instantly at home. The atmosphere at Avonmore House is simply enchanting – a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The room was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and every little touch made our stay feel so special. The cleanliness throughout the entire property was impeccable, and it was clear that John and Mary take great pride in maintaining such high standards. What really stood out to us was the warm and welcoming environment they have created. Whether it was their helpful recommendations for local spots or the lovely conversations we shared, John and Mary went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. For anyone looking for a romantic getaway, Avonmore House is the ideal destination. We left feeling happy, refreshed, and grateful for the experience. Thank you, John and Mary, for making our time in Youghal so memorable. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic location, minutes walk from the centre. Mary was there to welcome us even though we were very early for check-in. She was so knowledgeable about the area and such a brilliant host. The room was clean and spacious with a lovely seated area in front of the TV. Tea and coffee facilities were also provided and a fridge. The bed was also very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

There was nothing I didn't like. The breakfast isn't included in the price so there is an extra charge for that, however the breakfast was lovely and John's homemade bread was very moreish!

What can I say about Avonmore House other than good things... my partner and I have come to Youghal to live and John and Mary made our start better than expected. The rooms are very good, with a toilet, a small refrigerator to store some things, very comfortable beds... the location is also very good, because the sea is next to the house. We decided to take the breakfast and thank goodness, because it was incredible. My partner ordered the smoothie and it was delicious, and so was the fritata, with the melted cheese... finger-licking good. And well, not to mention the treatment that John and Mary had with us. When John saw us with suitcases the first day, he told us how we hadn't told him and he had come to pick us up. And the day we left, he drove us with all the suitcases to the new house. My partner and I came to an accommodation and we found a home.

Excellent accommodation. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with a great attention to detail. Great water pressure in the shower, which is unusual and bathroom fully equipped. Great breakfast, very well served, even too abundant.

There is nothing that I did not like. If I have to find room for improvement I'd suggest to place a few rubber stopper at the shower door, which tends to close abruptly always giving the fear it may shatter.

Beautiful property, set back from the road ,ample parking.The host Mary & John are the nicest people you could ever meet, nothing was too much trouble.So friendly and hospitable, rooms are spotless with the added feature of a fridge in the room. The cooked breakfast was delicious and the homemade different breads were gorgeous. I will definitely return to stay and have already recommended it to family and friends.

breakfast was fabulous with great choices, as well as set menu we could have many extras we wanted. breakfast was served with a smile and great conversation with Mary and John our hosts and advice on where was the best places to visit during the day. the room was large and spotless and comfortable, way above our expectations

we have no complaints about our stay, there were plenty of places to visit, every place was well signposted and parking was not a problem anywhere. the one-way system around the town works well so we had no problem with traffic.
