Historic Country House Accommodations

Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel offers Classic Guest Rooms and spacious Family Guest-rooms, some featuring super king-sized beds with three additional single beds. Rooms include high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and private bathrooms with baths. The recently refurbished Lotabeg suites take their name from the hotel's original designation as Lota Lodge. Many rooms feature south-facing sash windows that flood the space with natural light.

Local Cuisine Dining

Mabel Crawford's Bistro serves traditional Irish cuisine using locally sourced ingredients prepared by chef Jim Birmingham. The menu includes cream cheese-filled deep-fried mushrooms, black pudding with baby potatoes, and smoked salmon with prawns. Junior diners can choose from an extensive Kid's Menu. The bistro offers disabled access through a rear stairwell.

Woodland Walks & Events

Guests can explore the hotel's woodland walk with views of the Glashaboy River. The property features gardens with fairy light pathways and an original stone portico entrance dating from 1903. The hotel hosts wedding receptions in the Magner Suite Ballroom, accommodating 70 to 400 guests, and offers civil ceremony approval for weddings.

Convenient Cork Location

Located 6 km from Kent Station and 15 km from Cork Airport, the hotel sits within Cork City boundaries. It provides direct access to major routes connecting to Cork International Airport and Dublin. The property is close to Little Island, Mahon Point Shopping Centre (3 km), and Pairc Ui Chaoimh (2.5 km). The building overlooks the Glashaboy River from its hilltop position surrounded by woodlands.

Family-Run Hospitality Services

This family-owned hotel offers pet-friendly rooms, corporate event spaces for 10-400 people, and communion/confirmation celebrations. Services include free staff parking, wedding coordination, and accessibility to public transport routes. The team provides personalized care for events and maintains the property's historic features, including restored plasterwork ceilings with decorative pheasants and peacocks.

“What strikes me is its setting within lush Cork woodlands; a refurbished 18th-century country house where historic architecture meets modern comfort. I think it is a prime venue for weddings, enhanced by personalized services and extensive gardens, also its commitment to locally sourced dining. Its location offers a balance: close to Cork city yet set apart in its own scenic grounds.”

The bathroom was very nice! It offered USB ports and spring water.
The wifi signal in our room was terrible. The signal dropped out frequently, so using it was frustrating. I had to go to the reception area to get a stable signal.
