Amenities

There is deep sea fishing right out of Dungarvan, and fress water fishing in the Blackwater. Horseback riding, swimming or just strolling on our Blue Flag beach nearby. There are also lovely day drives that include the beautiful towns of Ardmore, with its well preserverd round tower, and Lismore with its fairytale castle and gardens.

Walking is literally outside our front door. There are miles of quiet country lanes that meander up into the mountains, where the sheep run free and think the road belongs to them. There are a number of hiking trails nearby, with guides if desired.

The 95 foot high tower built on the site is regarded as one of the finest in Ireland. The remains of the late 12th early 13th century Cathedral are also worth a visit, the carvings on the gable are of particular interest.
