We had a fantastic stay in the lodge - Eileen and Morgan were the best hosts and have done a brilliant job fitting out the lodge to a really high standard, with everything you need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in a beautiful, quiet location. The lodge is a perfect base to explore West Cork, plenty of places to visit and restaurants to eat in.. Mary Ann's in Castletownshend, Yay! Burger and Bally Bia in Ballydehob and the Church in Skibbereen all recommended for families, Jacob's Bar in Baltimore worth a trip too, especially if the sun is shining.. Liss Ard (in Skibbereen) for something a bit finer close to the lodge and dede in Baltimore is worth a trip for something really special.
