Right I'll admit i have never stayed here, in fact i don't think I'll ever stay here! Don't get me…read morewrong though I would love to rent this house and stay in it for a week but it is super duper expensive, we are talking, famous people expensive here. I have driven by it before though and have done what everyone else does and slow right down while going past this place, neck craning to see how lovely it all looks, and then you go home and look it up on a website and see what all the rooms look like inside. If you were famous it really would be a perfect get away, you're in the middle of an ancient oak forest, surrounded by trees (obviously!) and your really out of the way being down in Glengarriff anyway where the locals wouldn't really care who you are, well, they would have a good natter about you in the local but I'm sure they wouldn't be asking for autographs. Of course you would have to watch out for the people trying to get a glimpse of the lodge you have rented however! Why did I write this review as if my audience were made up of famous people, maybe it is! That's a nice thought J

Amazing venue for a wedding! I've been at both a wedding and a 40th birthday at Glengarriff Lodge…read moreand both were amazing! The setting is incredible, nestled in the middle of an ancient woodland on an island in a river - it doesn't get much better than this.

I came across this little spot while wandering Cork today. They were closed today so I didn't get…read moreto go inside but I did hang out outside for a bit. It was nice to take a load off and just relax even if it was loud by the street. The building is a deconsecrated church-turned-cafe with a little patio out front with seating. Since I didn't get to go inside there's not much to say, but I did appreciate the architecture.

I highly recommend coming here to see the exhibition on the history of Cork…read moreAbsolutely fascinating. While here treat yourself to a cup of coffee. The barista here is incredible

This was a blast, and I'm so glad our tour bus stopped here!…read more Yes, it was a long walk up the hill, and yes, it was pretty cold and windy up there, but the entertainment value of this spectacle was worth it. We enjoyed a 30-minute demonstration of dog handling skills as a local sheep-farmer and his two Border Collies worked their magic for our viewing pleasure. We saw these two incredibly trained dogs race up a steep hill into an upper meadow, round up a herd of sheep, escort them as they raced down the hill, and then paraded them around a fenced area right in front of us. It was incredibly entertaining! Other sights on the farm complex are a petting zoo and some serious artifacts- old famine cottages.

Shivering cold and wet, a heavy Irish mist prevailed over my Banana Republic rain slicker. Such a…read moredistance was not anticipated. Sure I had tourist maps, and county maps; truth is, I was naive to the amount of adventure I could handle. The last bus for Dingle had left minutes ago. Weathered by loneliness in a foreign land, I made the fateful decision to walk from Tralee Co. Kerry, to Dingle, forty-seven miles away. A lone petrol station; "You're lucky I'm here, I was just about to shut down," said the petrol station attendant. Unfortunately, he could not give me a ride and added, "you'll be lucky if someone sees you, if anyone passes you by." He was right, the sky was black, I could only see a few meters in front of me. Discouraged, I continued on, ready to hold my thumb out for the next passerby. Every five-minutes, then ten-minutes, until no cars passed for forty-five minutes. Eventually luck returned, a couple in their early 20's on their way to dingle offered me a ride. Turns out the petrol station attendant let them know I was looking for a ride, if they hadn't known I was out there they would not have seen me, it was just too dark. Never was a bed more comfortable! -Once a Hunting Lodge in the 1700's, the Ballintaggart Hostel is now a gorgeous hostel that accommodates over 100 guests and has double occupancy rooms available per. There is also a camping site for R/V's and tents on the property, which I cannot rate since I stayed in the dorm lodging.

This is a rather unconventional place as far as lodging goes, but if they have a room available,…read moreyou're well advised to stay here. For a very reasonable price I got an ensuite with two beds (only used the double - yes, a double! PLUS another bed! this is European luxury), and there was even soap/shampoo inside - they advertise that you need to bring your own. I had no trouble with the allowable hours of hot water or limited check-in - their primary function is a yoga/spiritual centre and they focus on being green, so just know that you're signing on to that ideology by booking here. You will be happy with the accommodations, though. Being a bit off the main road, it is very quiet, the staff is friendly, the beds are comfy, and they'll give you a heater to make sure your room is the temperature you like. Very oriented toward their users, whether for a class or a stay. A short walk into town as well. If you like a quiet place in a vibrant town, this is your ideal.
