The House
This lovely Regency house was built in 1830 as a hunting lodge for Lord Carbery, and is set in its own 6 hectare estate on the edge of Lough Ine. The Lough is a famous beauty spot, which is 4km from Skibbereen, and 4km from Baltimore in West Cork, Ireland. The property has a private shingle beach, and is located in a conservation area noted for its marine life and outstanding natural beauty.
From the elegant hall, a lovely curved staircase leads you to the first floor where you will find 3 double bedrooms and a large bathroom. The main bedrooms look right over the sea and are elegantly decorated with material on the walls and period furniture. One of them has a four-poster bed, the other, twin beds. The third, charming bedroom looks over the gardens. On the ground floor there are two more wood paneled twin bedrooms and two bathrooms each with bath and shower. The rowing boat is at your disposal to row to the island where you can see the remains of an O’Driscoll castle, picnic on the beach or explore the rapids.
