Welcome to Glenlohane, a private country guest house offering bed & breakfast accommodation in Co. Cork, Ireland
Neither an hotel or a professional
guest house, Desmond, Melanie and their son, Gordon, run Glenlohane as an extremely
private house with an air of friendly informality so unique to
Irish Country House Bed and Breakfasts. Certainly not considered
a 'room for the night' type of B&B, there are no public signs
at the roadside to draw the attention of casual visitors. Guests
are welcomed on a pre-arranged basis and know where they are
going by the detailed directions in this web site. There are
no public and private quarters as in a professional place and
guests may use facilities of the entire house as if staying with
friends. There are family dogs and a cat in the background and
animals play a large part of life at Glenlohane. Less than a
quarter of a mile away, and still on the farm, is a Self Catering
Cottage that can be rented on a weekly basis. Apart from farm
animals, there are also horses, ponies, fantail pigeons and bantam
hens in the traditional stable yard.
Whether it be at Glenlohane for B&B or Glenlohane Cottage
for self catering, staying is for the discerning visitor who
wishes to learn more about Ireland's history and culture through
personal contact with the owners. One is also well positioned
for sightseeing throughout the Scenic Southwest of the country.
