We are opening up our gardens and ‘Grub’s Up’ pop-up cafe during selected dates this summer!

Stroll around the wonderful 80 acres of manicured gardens and parkland with friends and family. Some of the highlights include the walled-garden, the lakes and the Rock woodland walk. Not to mention our much loved donkeys, piggies and hens that you might spot along the way!

We are so glad that we are open again and seeing our lovely guests once more! We have been busy preparing and the place has never looked better!

Since June 2nd, we have been open to holiday makers from the island of Ireland, and we are so excited to welcome international travellers from the 19th of July!

We are all in need of a good holiday (including ourselves!) and there is no better time to explore what Ireland has to offer. Now more than ever, we feel people need an escape to the peaceful countryside, to unwind and be spoiled rotten for a few days in splendid isolation. Sip on pre-dinner Bertha’s Revenge Gin cocktails and enjoy home cooking by House Chef Sarah English. Rest assured, our team has undergone Covid-19 safety training and we are following all the Government advice and protocols in relation to Covid.

We hope you will come and see us this summer.

Best wishes,

Jenny & Justin

As restrictions lift and attentions turn towards staycations, Cork County Council has launched a unique, ‘one-stop-shop’ tourism app, featuring over 850 places to see and things to do throughout County Cork.

The ‘Explore Cork’ app is the first of its kind by any Local Authority in Ireland and was developed following the success of the web-based ‘Rediscover Cork County’ GIS Tourism Map, launched by the Council last Summer. The free app, which is available in both the English and Irish languages, has replicated key elements of the web-based GIS map, but with additional functionality and user-friendly features.

The ‘Things to Do’ section allows users to browse tourism activities from a range of 850 attractions and 18 categories, which can be filtered by areas of interest such as Beaches, Visitor Attractions, Heritage Sites, Islands, Arts & Culture and more.

While tourism has needed to be put on pause for the time being, Visit Cork has used this opportunity to highlight some of the amazing things to see and do in Cork City and County for when it is once again safe to travel.

This is being done through the on-going Visit Cork Familiarisation Sessions which feature presentations from some of Cork’s hidden gems, along with industry discussion in a soapbox format.

We were delighted to have had the opportunity to share our story.
