Is this your B&B?
Claim this listingStaying in Millstreet Town
A north Cork market town in the Duhallow countryside, tucked between two mountain ranges and known for its country park and its horses.
Millstreet sits in the barony of Duhallow in the north-west of Co. Cork, between the Derrynasaggart and Boggeragh mountains, with the Blackwater river running just to the north. It is a working market town of around 1,400 people, with a strong equestrian tradition and the Green Glens Arena, best known nationally as the venue for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993.
A B&B in Millstreet suits visitors touring the quieter Cork and Kerry countryside away from the coast: Killarney and its national park are within reach to the west, and Millstreet Country Park itself, 500 acres of parkland with lakeside and woodland trails, a deer herd and an open-top bus tour, is right on the town's doorstep.

Booking Knockdrish direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Knockdrish holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
