Great location with historic surroundings
Reception good - nice welcoming staff. Great location and good parking below the hotel . Great sea view from our room and a few minutes walk to the railway station for our day trip into Cork. Heritage centre next door worth a visit - a lot more interesting and more to it than it looks from the outside. Ate in the restaurant - service was ok and food was ok but menu not very exciting. Staff could be more attentive as we had to keep asking for things. All Brits please note - at breakfast which was otherwise good - they DON’T DO brown sauce - suggest you bring your own!

Fabulous views of the working harbor. Best meals in Ireland! Delicious, beautifully presented, and served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The room was comfortable. The staff was sweet and helpful. The location was perfect - next to the Heritage Museum and a short, scenic walk to lovely Cobh.

Cobh was a wonderful stop for us and the Water's Edge was a fine place to stay for one night. We ate in the restaurant which was just okay. Location was great. Free parking.
