This was a wonderful B&B. The owners could not have been more hospitable and the upstairs bedroom was huge and beautiful with a patio facing the Ballilicky River. I woke up the first morning, sat up in bed and sun (!) was streaming into the room with that gorgeous view. It is outside of town but only a short drive... more

My husband and I were camping in the nearby Eagle point Camp Site. After one night we had to abort the camping as we were flooded out! Weather was awful. Deirdre, the hostess, greeted us with open arms at 10pm on the first night with our 3yr, 4yr and 5yr old girls! She couldn't have made us feel more at... more

The area is very picturesque and the view of Bantry Bay from Aran Lodge... more

Really nice folks. Good price. Quiet. Consider it a jumping off ground to Beara and the Mizzen, and don't miss either. more

My wife and I have just returned from a 10 day vacation at Aran Lodge. We both had a great time. There are several reasons we loved Aran Lodge. The location is excellent for day trips in Co. Cork.
