Below represents just a snippet and does not come near the local information we would have for you to tailor your visit to your needs; Skip across the beautiful Ilen river and pass the famous Skibbereen Rowing Club on route to Baltimore (Dún na Séad – The Fort of Jewels). Here you will wander through the old streets and unearth ancient history of fierce pirates and Spanish and British control. From here, take the stone’s throw ferry out to Inis Arcáin (Sherkin Island) which translates to the Porpoise Island. One can also venture further out to Ireland’s most southerly inhabited island to learn some Gaelic or go hiking on the many spectacular coastal roads of Cape Clear. From here you can easily view the world famous Fastnet Rock Lighthouse which is locally known as Ireland’s teardrop during famine times. The lovely market town of Skibbereen lies only 5km to the east of your stay with us. Here you will find great cafés, restaurants and shops. The local heritage centre and famine graveyard are both certainly not to be missed. Further east is lies the villages of Castletownshend, Union Hall, Glandore and Rosscarbery. Great beaches such as the Warren, Red Strand and Inchydoney lie just south of the colourful town of Clonakilty. Head west only 10km from us and you will find yourself in the beautiful village of Ballydehob. Here you are sure to get a taste of lovely traditional pubs, live music or if you fancy a quieter experience stroll into many of its well renounced restaurants/cafés. A little further west lies the bustling coastal village of Schull with its beautiful harbour, lovely little shops and restaurants and pubs. Further on you will can visit Mizen Head and its spectacular bridge out to the lighthouse.
