Sandra O’Connell writes a rave review of Glengarriff Lodge in The Irish Times, Glengarriff Lodge is No1 in her list of cutting edge cottages in Ireland .

Gorgeous Glengarriff If you can find a prettier holiday cottage than this, please let us know. Some of us will have a hat to eat.

The former hunting lodge of the earls of Bantry, it stands on a two-acre island of lawns and gardens amid the ancient oaks of Glengarriff Woods.

If you want luxury in spectacular, secluded settings without going abroad, than look no further more…

Second to none

We had a wonderful stay in the house and grounds which were second to none. We were very impressed with the quality of the finishes in the house and cannot speak highly enough of our stay.
Many thanks for your hospitality we wish you every success in your venture – you deserve it.

Summer Swimming

We have had a wonderful week.
The weather has been superb. Days have been filled with visits to Garnish Island, The Bamboo Garden, Sheep’s Head Peninsula, Beara Peninsula and Dereen Gardens. The drive over the Healy Pass is spectacular. At the end of each day we returned to this lovely setting. The warmth and sunshine made paddling and swimming in the river particularly pleasurable. However the logs in the living room were also a reminder of how cosy it would be in the colder months of the year also.
A lovely property in an excellent location.

Garden Paradise

What a wonderful place!
Must be one of the best residences in West Cork. I have no natural empathy for interior design/decor but even I can see the attention to detail. By contrast I am a fanatical gardener and it’s been an absolute pleasure to wander around the grounds. It’s a joy to me to see that you recovered so many unusual specimen trees and shrubs – presumably from a fairly overgrown state. I can see newer plantings of interesting varieties. Must look particularly great in April/ May and I’d love to come again then. Lastly adults and children alike have enjoyed swimming in the river!

Historic Delight

Dear Alan
Our stay at your wonderful Glengarriff Lodge far exceeded our expectations.
Your fine restoration work of this historic building is stunning. The quality of all the fittings and furnishings were excellent and so well chosen. We only realised the historic significance of this house after visiting Bantry House. We have stayed all over the world and this was up there as one of the best. We hope to be able to return in the future.
