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.
Our cottages have central heating,and the consumption is calculated with a gas meter.The current price in Ireland is €4,-per unit (1 cubic metre),and our guests can expect an average cost of €1,-and €5,-per day,dependent upon the usage.

Very nice
We had a very good time here. The building is over 200 years old so don’t expect a jacuzzi or something but you get a lot of character in return. Greg and his wife are very kind and we were very well looked after. Food was very good as well and the place was very quiet.

ACHTUNG!!!! ALLES lesen! GUT recherchieren!
Die erste Frage, die wir uns bei der Ankunft und dem ersten Eindruck gestellt haben: Haben Angler einen so geringen Anspruch bezüglich der Unterkunft und sind die Bewertungen hier im Netz wirklich echt? Die Realität stimmt mit den Bildern NICHT überein! Der Internetauftritt ist geschätzt mehrere Jahrzehnte alt! Ein Schlafraum nicht bewohnbar: verschimmelte, schwarze Wände, kalt und feucht. Zweiter Schlafraum sehr eng: 2 Betten + Schrank in 2,50 x 1,90 m. Küche gute Ausstattung, aber sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Bad würde ich nicht als Bad bezeichnen. Alles muss extra bezaht werden! Wir haben gleich nach der ersten Nacht die Mängel angegeben, sind aber seitens der Vermieter auf Unverständnis gestoßen. Ein Wechsel war nicht möglich. Wir könnten ja die Heizung (auf eigene Kosten) anstellen und es würde besser werden. Wurde es aber leider nicht. Nach der dritten Nacht hatte ich, als gesunder Mensch, starke gesundheitliche Probleme mit der Luft, so dass wir unseren Aufenthalt vorzeitig abbrechen mussten und somit doppelte Kosten hatten. Unsere Empfehlung an die Vermieter: Bitte aktualisiert euren Internetauftritt!!! Wir sind seit seit vielen Jahren weltweit unterwegs und wissen, dass andere Länder auch andere Standards bedeuten. Aber das wir so getäuscht worden sind, hatten wir noch nicht !!!

Cramped conditions
Poorly designed. Tight accommodation. Shabby furnishings. Lack of basic facilities ie toilet paper , towels etc. overpriced for accommodation and not suitable for four people. Even with the two of us it was difficult to watch the tv as one of the two seater settees faced away from the set. The bathroom was difficult to use as the door opened on to the toilet pan so have to squeeze by and shut before use. The stairs were steep and not convenient if you are not sure footed.

Mini break in Inchegeela
We had a lovely mini break here. Owners couldn’t be helpful enough. Supper and breakfast very good & far better value for money than eating out. We had a lovely trek round on the ponies & had a go at fishing. Very peaceful & quiet.

Fantastic 4 days in beautiful secluded place
We stayed 4 nights in the cottage with our dog. Amazing location and views - photos don’t do it justice. We didn’t plan to have meals there but after the first night when we tasted the hostess’ 3 course dinner we decided we’d have that every night - delicious food and very reasonably priced, served to us by Greg with candlelight in the conservatory. Even views of deer during dinner one night. Amazing sky views at night and a brilliant morning kayaking on the local river and lake arranged by Greg. A lovely place to tour Bantry bay and the surrounding area. The accommodation has been restored to a very high standard and is clearly a “labour of love” for Greg and Ziggy over the years. Too short a stay and would love to go back.

Parfait pour un séjour au vert !
Greg a rénové ces jolies chaumières pour en faire des logements pittoresques et agréables en pleine nature. L'environnement est magnifique, avec de belles ballades à proximité. La côte et Killarney sont à une heure, mais il ne faut pas manquer le site de Gougane barra, nettement moins fréquenté et très beau, à 15 mn. Greg est très arrangeant, et propose sur place des locations de vélos, de kayaks, de chevaux. Une adresse à recommander.
