Comfortable, clean room. Pleasant, helpful staff. Good food. A great pub atmosphere. Lively, but I was never bothered in my room by any noise. Located in a quiet square opposite Blarney Castle, it's a great location.

Wonderful accommodation. Cosy and friendly. Staff were really helpful. Blarney is a quiet area but its easy to get to Cork City, especially as the bus stop is right outside the hotel

The hospitality and friendliness was exceptional. The room was super comfy, great bed and amenities, and we were 5 minutes away (walking) from Blarney Castle and Gardens. I highly recommended this place to anyone planning to spend a day at the castle and wants a stress free commute.

Our best hotel / hosts experience in all of Ireland Gary (the owner) personally welcomed us - such a warm person! The hotel/family has a rich history, the location is amazing and the staff is really really pleasant. We loved chatting with Gary and Jerome. The room is very nice. The location is just awesome - 2 min walk from Blarney castle. The restaurants nearby are nice too. The Muskerry arms bar is a happening place at night. All in all - a very good trip. Gary represents the best of Irish people - Thank you Gary. We were in Ireland for 8 nights and our stay in Muskerry Arms was the best one

We had a great stay at the Muskerry Inn. Even though the room is above the pub, it was very quiet and easy to get some sleep. The room is clean but was missing hand soap and soap in the shower--minor details since we had our own. The proximity to Blarney Castle is fabulous. The staff was kind and helpful. Would recommend staying here if in the area.

Nice property above a busy pub but separate and quiet. Management was in pub and very helpful when we checked in, but if we needed them we had to find them there. Fortunately our stay went smoothly.
