Located in Shandon, this museum is well worth a look. But you'll find tons more to see in the area. Blarney Castle, Blarney Stone, and University College Cork aren't too far from Butter Museum.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,006 reviews)
Property is very conveniently located, close to bus terminal, quick taxi to train station, lots of great restaurants in area. Breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of fresh options including hot dishes, overnight oats and toppings, yogurt and fresh fruit. Staff are friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. Also recommend nearby attractions like the Cork ghost tour and Sultan’s restaurant for great vegetarian food.
