About this property
Thatched cottage / 200 year old farm house
How about a vacation on a 200 year old property in the southwest of the 'Green Island'? Self-catering holiday or half board in a comfortably furnished 2-6 person apartment on fish-rich Lough Allua in unspoiled nature. Tirna Spideoga - the country of the robins, lies between the villages of Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary, in one of the few Irish cultural enclaves on the island. The cottage is embedded in a huge nature park. Its location is a good starting point for interesting tours, and the Gougane Barra National Park is nearby. The port town of Bantry, the flower island 'Garinish Island' and Glengariff are also worth a visit. This village is the starting point for a tour of the Beara Peninsula over the Healy Pass. You should also take your time for the most famous route, the Ring of Kerry.
If you don't just want to spend your vacation in the car, there is a varied program.
Ireland, the land of anglers and canoeists: Lough Allua, about 10 km long, the lake nearby, offers trout, pike, perch, coarse fish etc. Our fishing boats, with motor on request, as well as a fishing shop and smokehouse, are available at any time. Licenses are not required here. We also organize weekly deep-sea fishing trips for up to 30 different types of fish, such as: B Conger eels, cod, pollack, coalfish, ling, wrasse etc., but also different types of shark such as. B. the blue shark. Rods and fishing equipment are included in the price for sea fishing, which is around 40 to 50 € for a day trip.
You can explore Lough Allua and River Lee in our one and two two-seater canoes, the daily rent here is € 15 per person incl. Pick-up and delivery service.
Riders, hikers, nature lovers u. Cycling enthusiasts: The 'Green Island' is characterized by a flora and fauna that is unique in Europe. If you want to explore these unique landscapes on your own, you can do this with the tours or mountain bikes available to you. The daily rent is € 7. Almost every street here is a cycle path with very little traffic, behind every curve there is a new panorama.
Ireland, the country for culture lovers. This country offers a lot of programs for hikers, mountaineers, surfers, golfers etc. We provide you with an experienced and qualified hiking guide who brings you closer to the historical and geographical peculiarities of the surrounding area on organized hikes.
You may also want to explore the area from the back of our horses. A riding instructor will give you lessons in the riding area behind the house and, of course, experienced riders can also go horse riding. Riding helmets and boots of all sizes can be provided.
Guinness and Irish Folk: The pubs of Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary invite you to a cozy sing along. Not far away is the highest pub in Ireland - Top of Coom-. Here, as well as in the award-winning Mills Inn, the instruments are unpacked on Thursdays and weekends. Visit the world-famous Jameson Distille in Midleton, where you can take a guided tour and a good 'whiskey test'.
Regardless of whether you are looking for peace and seclusion on our former riding stables in a thatched cottage, planning a fishing trip, riding vacation or just want to relax, cook for yourself or let yourself be pampered
the landscape of West Cork and the You will not soon forget warm and open residents.
