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.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,018 reviews)
We stayed here during the jazz festival. The staff was very accommodating, and we didn't experience any shortcomings not directly attributable to the throngs of people there to see the live performances. I would stay here again.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (627 reviews)
Beautiful hotel - our favorite stay in Ireland! The room was great, we loved the spa and breakfast was wonderful. The staff was very conscious of food allergies, which was appreciated. The only downside is that the doorman/ bellhops were a bit aggressive upon arrival. We prefer to take our own luggage to the room and had to be a bit stern. But otherwise, our stay was perfect. Highly recommend!
