The Cottage in Inch

The cottage in Inch is in an idyllic setting overlooking Inch Beach and Power Head in the East Cork countryside, about 15km from Midleton and about 6km from the nearest village of Whitegate.  It is surrounded by fields and friendly neighbours. We have a number of fruit trees, and maintain a vegetable garden and six very friendly hens who provide us with fresh eggs each morning.

Close by there is Ballinrostig and its traditional Irish pub where on Thursday's (and some Monday's), you can enjoy some of Irelands favorite tipples and listen to good Irish live music.  Further around the coast is Guileen where Pearl runs the Guileen Arms, a favorite haunt for families if you prefer.

Inch, is not far from the seaside towns of Ballycotton and Youghal, and is also close to Ballymaloe House (famous for its Slow Food).
