The Farm is a traditional Irish farmhouse over 200 years old, that has been renovated and extended by the owners for their annual vacations and future retirement. It is in a beautiful private location surrounded by farmland, in the hills above Glandore. The Farm directly overlooks Glandore Harbour with views across the harbour to Union Hall, and from the garden there are more spectacular views to the south and south-west to the open sea. The 12th century harbour and the waterfront pubs and restaurants of Glandore are within walking distance.
The atmosphere in the house reflects a family home. It easily accommodates eight people. There are four bedrooms (two with king beds convertable to twin, and two with twin beds), three bathrooms (one en-suite), fully equipped kitchen/dining room, sitting room, conservatory, utility area with washing machine and dryer. The house is tastefully furnished with old pine furniture, oil paintings and nautical prints, fitted carpets, rugs and local pottery.

Why the Owner Chose Glandore
We bought and developed the Farm for our vacation and eventual retirement home. The original 200 year old farmhouse was derelict when we purchased it but the beautiful view and the tranquil surrounding area were perfect for our needs. The village is very friendly and the local yacht club is based in the pubs around the harbor. And being able to walk home from the pub was an added bonus.
