My girlfriend and I stayed here for a last-minute accommodation and we are glad we did. It was very late when we ended up getting there, but Valarie made us feel at home right from the start. She even went and made tea for us, which was extremely welcomed after all the travel that day. Our room (#1) had a beautiful view of the river and surrounding hills. When we were up in the morning, we each had a full Irish breakfast that was very well made (also cereal and other options). Checkout was quick and painless (since we paid online) which gave us time to shower and chat with Valarie before leaving. We fulling intend to comeback the next time we are in Ireland and I'm going fishing.

Wonderful, very accommodating hosts. Good breakfast. This is a beautiful location nestled in a small valley. The river blackwater is just below the property and includes a walking trail. Great views, very peaceful. It has a shared bathroom so plan accordingly. It is also close to Fermoy, a small town with pubs and restaurants. We chose a variety of accommodations on our trip. We chose this one because it was in a quiet country setting, but close to a town. Stayed two days. Fermoy can be a bit busy as there are several schools there, so plan accordingly when visiting. Plenty to explore in the region.

Quiet, beautifully maintained surroundings with a very pleasant walking path to and along the banks of the river. The buildings were wonderfully well kept, the interior decor was tasteful and the beds were incredibly comfortable . We had an amazing night’s sleep and the shared bathroom was excellent. Breakfast was delicious with an incredible choice to suit all palates. Thank you Valerie for a very hospitable stay.

There was nothing that we didn’t like. Everything was perfect.

Everything about this B&B was fantastic! The house is quaint and comfortable. The property is beautiful and offers stunning views as well as the opportunity to go for a walk to the river for a wonderful sunset view. We were lucky enough to get a corner room with two huge windows to enjoy the scenery and hear the horses and cows! Breakfast was delicious as well. To top it all off, Jason & Valerie were extremely warm and inviting. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you! P.S. We would also recommend Cafe Bella in Fermoy for dinner! Delicious Italian food!

It would be nice to have a private bathroom, but of course understandable that the house isn’t set up for that

Cable Island was in such a beautiful location. It was the one place we took time to spend at the facility and enjoy the views. There were plenty of places to sit outside and relax. Valerie, the hostess, went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and answer any questions we had. The rooms were very nice and clean. Breakfast was included and delicious.

It isn't something that the facility didn't provide but because we did not read the description carefully, we didn't realize that there were shared bathrooms. I was fine because no one was staying in the room next to us, so we didn't have to share, but the other people we were traveling with had to share a bathroom with two gentlemen. They were a little apprehensive at first but it ended out fine because the gentlemen were so respectful of the situation.

This was such a pleasant and dreamy stay at Cable Island B&B. Our host Val was so friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived. This stay felt cozy like you are staying at a family members home. The absolute best part was the private walk down to the river. We were able to enjoy the sunset and a beautiful morning stroll along the river all to ourselves. The drive to this spot was beautiful, just keep in mind its about a 8-10 min drive to town and the restaurants in the area tend to close earlier than we are used to (7-8pm). Val did give us a great recommendation for food though and we were able to bring it back and enjoy it in the shared dining room area. I would stay here again!

The rural location was wonderful, with a salmon and trout stream behind the house. Valerie was an excellent hostess, and gave a wonderful recommendation for FishyFishy restaurant in Kinsale. The room was lovely and comfortable. The shared bathroom was not a problem, and the Irish breakfast kept us going until dinner. Using the postal code in the address has been essential to staying in the lovely rural B&Bs.

Nothing. It was all wonderful.

I don't think I could have picked a more idyllic location than the valley Cable Island is settled in. Wow. I mean, truly, we were speechless when we entered the garden view room. We took it easy on our last leg of the trip, and even just laying in bed looking out the windows was well worth our time. Valerie was such a lovely host, extremely personable and soo friendly. Not to mention so accommodating to our weird little schedule we set for ourselves. Breakfast was fantastic and filling, so many options! I would return in a heartbeat unless they want to sell me the property instead ;)

Beautiful setting with spectacular scenery that is such a tranquil place to wake in the morning. The hosts are friendly and amenable and the breakfast was amazing! Locally sourced produce, so delicious and just the right way to start the day.

The only challenge is that there is only one bathroom for all the rooms. The toilet is in the bathroom so sometimes there is a need to wait.

Lovely view across the river and district. The hosts make you feel at home. Val makes the best Irish breakfast, much better than a hotel. No loud people or parties, quiet country side feel is key to enjoying your stay. If you like fishing, Jason has you covered. Family vibes, nice people.

Shared bathroom, but it was not an issue for our stay as it was available when needed.
