Willowhill House - Bed & Breakfast in Co. Cork
Carrigaline, , Co. Cork
Munster,
Irlanda
From the friendly terrier that greets your arrival to the genuine care of Chris and Claire, you’ll feel right at home here. Families will particularly love the top floor rooms with shared bathroom – your own little empire.
For breakfast, Chris gives you Ballymoloe strawberry muesli then mans the Aga for a full fry up with eggs from the farm next door and jams made by a friend. You eat at an ancient refectory table, just as Charles II is rumoured to have done almost 400 years ago.
Claire is slowly restoring the walled garden (roses, pretty paths, fruit trees and many birds) and evening is the time for a stroll around. The sitting room and conservatory are yours so plan the next adventure in the countryside or on the dramatic coastline. A place to bring books and unwind.

Local points of interest from Claire Gotto:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Claire Gotto:
- Set in lush rolling countryside, a stone’s throw from wonderful beaches, this Georgian country house was built in 1791 and has distinct authentic charm.
- Enjoy Chris’s breakfasts made with the freshest of local produce and homemade preserves – he and Claire are superb cooks and bakers.
- Classical and contemporary paintings, rare ferns and sculptural pieces are scattered throughout the house. A kitchen garden boasts a dovecot, roses, explosions of wisteria, hostas, pear and apple trees, a glasshouse with tomatoes and fig trees.
- We’re halfway between Cork City with its food markets, shopping and galleries, and Kinsale with its historic attractions, restaurants and scenery (both 15 mins).
- This is the starting point for the Wild Altlantic Way and the wonders of West Cork and Kerry, with Skellig Michael and the Blasket Islands within a day’s drive.
- Whether it’s golf, bird watching, photography, sightseeing, surfing, archaeological tours, whiskey-tasting, family-tree research, kayaking or whale-watching, Willowhill House is the ideal base.
