Lough Ine,
West Cork.
Lough Ine House, 5 Bedrooms, Sleeps 10.
Gate Lodge, 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 3/4.
Lough Ine is well known as
one of the most romantic spots in West Cork. This enchanting lough is Europe's largest seawater lake and
boasts an amazing array of unusual marine life. In the middle of the lough is an island on which the
O’Driscolls built a castle, the ruins of which can still be seen
today. Line fishing is
permitted on Lough Ine. Trout
fishing (with permit) on the river Ilen and deep sea fishing are
available nearby in the picturesque harbour of Baltimore (4km),
where you can also join the Sailing School. Just 2km from the house is an 18 hole golf course and a
riding school.
A 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, and
both houses have access to the private beach. There are excellent
restaurants and pubs in Baltimore and Skibereen, and there are many
places to visit such as Creagh Gardens, Sherkin Island, Cape Clear,
Bantry House, Glandore, Schull and many more.
