The Ballylickey Bay cottages are set in the very heart of Bantry Bay in Co. Cork midway between the town of Bantry and the picturesque holiday village of Glengarriff. It is the perfect base to explore the scenic coasts of south west Ireland. Combined with a stay in the impressive 15th Century Ballyseede Castle, you have the perfect Ireland getaway.
Situated along the rugged coastline of West Cork, you are perfectly placed for exploring some of Ireland's most beautiful and less discovered scenery, tucked away in quiet corners like Glengarriff, Glandore, Baltimore and Skibbereen. Tour the Ring of Beara, a coastal peninsula that could be described as Ireland in a nutshell and the Ring of Kerry famed for its stunning scenery.
Visit the town of Killarney and marvel at the lake lands and mountains of the National Park that surround it and the historic Muckross House, all from the quaint comfort of a horse drawn, jaunting car.
A trip to the Dingle Peninsula is a must. Europe's most westerly peninsula, Dingle is a magical place that conjures up the romance of old Ireland - its no coincidence that the film Ryan's Daughter was filmed on the beaches here!
And the grand finale to your visit to Ireland; a stay in the stately surroundings of Ballyseede Castle, dating from the 15th Century and once home to the Earls of Desmond, where you can live like the Lords and Ladies of old.
