    Siobhan told us on entering room for breakfast that the other couple there were German but with good English. This made friendly interaction easier v

La Mirage is situated 3 miles from Bantry town. We are a family run B&B. Elevated spacious country home overlooking Bantry Bay. Peaceful location, friendly atmosphere. La Mirage B&B is an ideal location for walking, cycling or hiking, ideal for day trips to the Beara Peninsula, Mizen Head, short trips to Glengarriff and Garnish Island, or to Gougane Barra. You need a car to stay in our B&B as public transport is really limited. Ample free private parking.
The Lynch family cordially welcome all our guests to La Mirage. Val is available and willing to discuss and plan itineraries with you, his local knowledge and information on hidden routes is a bonus.
Relax in the evening with good food in Bantry, The Snug, The Brick Oven and The Maritime Hotel are just a few enjoyable places to eat. In Ballylickey you can enjoy The Seaview House Hotel or Manning's Emporium for Gourmet Food/Wine. Bantry House is 3 miles from here and is one of the finest historic houses in Ireland with glorious views of Bantry Bay and Whiddy Island. Bikes for hire in Bantry town, enjoy cycling on the quiet rural walkways along the Wild Atlantic Way. Enjoy a walk and picnic in Glengarriff Nature Reserve.
