Roman Catholic - Inter-denominational

Although located in an urban area of Cork, St. Dominic's offers an oasis of green lawns and quiet views with much peace and quiet. A friendly old dog may be the first to greet you and the warm welcome is continued inside by the housekeeping staff or a member of the community. The excellent food is prepared in an old-fashioned kitchen - the home-made chicken soup and bread are delicious. The gardens surrounding this ambling large house have plenty of benches and there is a charming old walled garden with box-hedge paths. All in all, a perfect place for a stroll and a good think.
