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.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)
This is excellent hotel enhanced tremendously by the most friendly and attentive staff. The hotel property is very spacious and kept very clean. The food served in the restaurants is very good too. Free access to the pool, sauna and steam room is an added bonus. In short, one doesn’t have to leave the hotel, everything is taken care of in the most luxurious surroundings. Don’t miss this gem of the hotel if you are in Cork.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (605 reviews)
The hotel is amazing except for the more expensive rooms. I was surprised to pay 5 star for a room that was below par. I did talk to a manager but she didn’t seem to phased. Probably thought visiting American I’ll never see her again. I’m saddened to say i won’t return. I’ve always screamed the praises of this hotel in the past. :-(
