The Muskerry Arms is a pub and restaurant with rooms over.  The rooms are very nicely decorated and have everything you'd expect.   Some other guest had been messing with the TV so it switched on but no channel worked.  The bed was comfortable and there was a vanity unit for working or make-up.  There was a fan in the room so it might get hot in the high summer (the window was very small).  

Good menu choices and a hearty Irish breakfast for under €13.00.  Parking outside or around the square.  Great for visiting Blaney.

In the heart of Blarney

After finishing work, my colleague and i were supposed to go grab a quick bite to eat. I reluctantly agreed to give it a shot. But, much to my dismay, a staff member approached me and rudely informed me that it would take a whole hour before they could serve any food. They even had the audacity to suggest that I should go somewhere else. I can't believe the nerve of these people! I have no idea what the deal is with this lousy little place.

Rude staff

Wow! We were blown away by the service and friendliness of Gary and the other staff. The room was comfortable, absolutely no issues. We loved going downstairs to the pub and had a great time there-food and drinks were great. 

It was within walking distance of the Blarney Castle and the woolen market. I’d 100% stay there again. It was my favorite place that I stayed while in Ireland.

Loved it!

Overall, this was a good experience. There was a major mixup (overcharge) by Booking.com, but the staff at the B&B worked hard to help me fix it. (Unlike the staff at Booking.com, but that’s another, longer story…) The room was clean and simple, and well located in the village. The one major disappointment was the bar downstairs. The entire reason we chose this accommodation was because we were excited to hang out in the bar, dance to Irish music, and then just walk upstairs to bed. Great plan, right? We were told there would be live music from 10-12, but then there… wasn’t. No band, no singer, no one. (Friday night) So we just went to bed early, VERY disappointed. A real bummer. But overall the accommodations are a good value and I would recommend this place if you’re in the area.

Good value

If you want to explore this part of Ireland but don't want to stay in a city like Cork then I highly recommend the Musketry Arms. Be aware though, the accommodation is above a very busy pub and, although the noise wasn't as bad as I had expected, I would not expect a quiet evening if staying in the weekends. Actually I would suggest to go downstairs and join in.
What really surprised me though was how nice the rooms were.
They were very clean and spacious.
Off street parking was a bonus as the street parking always seems full. Probably due to the proximity of Blarney castle which is easily walkable from the tavern.

Surprisingly good.

I knew we will be close to Blarney Stone, but I didnt realize we could actually walk from here - so that was a huge plus :)

Upon arrival we checked in at the restaurant/bar on the bottom level, and I wish we didnt eat by then as some of the food options they were offering sounded realllllllly good! Do take that into consideration when planning a late arrival. The breakfast in the morning is a la carte, not big but there is something for everyone there (served on the hotel floor at a different restaurant).

Parking is in front or a bigger one behind the property in front of the family's, owning the place, house - just unpack before you move there as it's not a long walk but it's gravel type of road so you dont want to carry the luggage with you on it :) 

The noise wasnt bad, though its worth mentioning we visited on Tuesday night so the bar closed early... I can see however that it could be an issue on the weekend - again didnt bother us during the week.

The room was very spacious and was, to my surprise, very modern - definitely a welcome surprise after arriving very tired and wanting to just rest and chill :) 

Stay "next to" Blarney Stone

Charming stay right across from Blarney Castle! My family of four plus two friends stayed here for St. Patty's Day, and it was truly the best place to celebrate. The rooms are spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet considering they're located over a pub. Speaking of, the pub staff are extremely friendly. They went out of their way to ensure we had a memorial St. Patty's Day! Would definitely recommend!

Charming stay across from Blarney Castle!

From the time of booking right through to check out, was very easy. Staff were extremely lovely and helpful and very friendly. Room was fabulous, warm and very clean. Very welcoming and comfortable room. Dinner was beautiful too. Had to have the fry for breakfast. Don't tell my heart doc!! Filled me up for the day and again was just absolutely delicious....I would highly recommend it here. I will be back!!! 

Beautiful Guesthouse. Fabulous staff. Food was delicious. Bedroom was warm, very clean and welcoming. As was the whole guesthous

This is more of a Super 8 motel experience and yet it was very clean, had an efficient bathroom, a nice breakfast and was very affordable.

We found the bar lively, but the night were were there (mid-week, October) there was no live music, which was disappointing.  We had a late night dinner there, which was ok.  However the Guinness was good and they had over 20 Irish whiskey selections.

Clean, Affordable and Efficient

This was a perfect location to stay for the night. Simple but comfortable lodgings with a great breakfast in the morning. And a great place to enjoy a pint in the afternoon/evening. Very close to Blarney Castle.
