Welcome

An Bohreen Bed And Breakfast is located at the foothills of the Comeragh Mountains, offering our guests spectacular views of Dungarvan Bay and the Gaeltacht area of An Ring. It is an ideal location for relaxing and getting away from the hustle and bustle of the fast life we lead.

Looking out from the back patio, you see the beautiful mountains and glens of South East Ireland, presented to you with a different view each day.

As you enter An Bohreen you will be welcomed by your hosts, Ann and Jim Mulligan. The Mulligans have but one purpose in life, and that is to make your stay, whether it be for a day or a month, truly memorable.

Once inside, you will feel the warmth and comfort that An Bohreen offers. A cup of tea by the open fire in the sitting room may be most welcome, or you may wish to relax in a bedroom that defies you to leave it. All four bedrooms have either a mountain or a sea view, and two of the bedrooms have french doors opening to a veranda.

Dinner is served at around seven in the dining room. Your table will offer fabulous sea views along with our unforgettable Irish sunsets.

"Unforgettable" also describes Ann's cooking. She has kept me happy for years with numerous gourmet treats, and even more so now that she has fulfilled a lifelong ambition, which was to attend the cookery course at the renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School. So, as a bachelor I ate rasher sandwiches for three months, but it was worth it, and after you have tasted one of her meals, I know you will agree!

If for some strange reason, you would rather eat out some night at some of the fine restaurants in the Dungarvan area, we will be glad to recommend one to meet your needs. There are of course lots of pubs that have traditional music and craic in the Dungarvan area.

We welcome anyone who likes the "better things in life" to our home. There is something for everyone in the Dungarvan area, blue flag beaches, horse back riding, deep sea and river fishing, shopping and the Waterford Crystal factory. It's a great hill walking and bird watching country but golf is it's best kept secret. There are at least 20 courses in the Dungarvan - Waterford - Cork area.

Undiscovered gems, beautiful and challenging, most at very reasonable green fees and all very friendly. There is the "Annual Dungarvan International competition" to be held May 24th - 26th 2000, which is played over three courses, with seventy five hundred pounds in prize money. So allow me to put together your own "Irish golf tour" at a reasonable cost.

Included in your tour, Mount Juliet, the Augusta of Europe, designed by Jack Nicklaus. But the course that golf enthusiasts the world over are talking about, the most remarkable golf links ever conceived in the history of golf; an Atlantic promontory that will never be rivalled in terms of drama and beauty, I am referring to "Old Head Golf Links" both are about an hour and a half's drive from An Bohreen.

An Bohreen Bed And Breakfast has a lot to offer, luxury accommodations designed with Ann's dream for you in mind, her gourmet cooking has the same objective. And what do I do around here?
