The Pond House is a wonderfully unique property with a great feeling of history about it. At the same time it is very tastefully decorated and very comfortable and spacious for two people. It is also a good base to explore north Cork including, of course, nearby Doneraile Park with its tea rooms and excellent walking opportunities. We also visited the recently opened gardens at Annesgrove, not far away, which is still a work in progress but well worth keeping an eye on.
