Seeing is truly believing at Dromforde. I am very familiar with the area and all that the Sheep's Head Way has to offer, but I wasn't prepared for the luxury and comfort that was waiting for me at Bill and Bridget's traditional farmhouse.

The moment I rounded the corner and pulled into the driveway, a sense of calm and tranquility prevailed. This farmhouse has been carefully and thoughtful restored. The accommodations are housed in your own annex to the main house and offer a private living/ dining area downstairs replete with wood burning stove and squashy sofas that would help any hillwalker recuperate. A private staircase leads you to your own landing and offers a double room and single room, and a fully fitted bathroom.

Each corner and every detail has been considered. The character and feel of the old farmhouse has been retained with low ceilings and beams but the interiors have been decorated to a highly luxury standard. There is want for nothing in terms of linen, towels, books, maps, boardgames and especially setting. The house is set in a hamlet overlooking the back of Mount Gabriel and a mere 5 minute drive into Bantry Town.

Dromforde is perfect for those visiting the West Cork Music and Literary festivals. It would be perfect for a family or musician who needs space to practice or that extra bit of room to spread out and finish writing that novel!

Bill and Bridget are simply two of the most helpful and engaging people. They live a sustainable lifestyle in an incredible part of Ireland and invite those looking for something a little different to share in this truly authentic farmhouse. This is no ordinary B&B, this is a Boutique B&B that cannot be beaten on price, style or location. You will leave wishing to return year after year.
