More about Bantry House
A lovely space that feels like an oasis of calm. This rustic house is nestled on the south slope of the Maughnaclea mountains, with breath-taking views over the Mealagh valley and Bantry Bay in the distance, Bantry House is surrounded by nature and the beautiful, wild landscape of West Cork. Just 20 mins drive to Bantry town, the shelter of the mountains offer you a feeling of security and the lush green surroundings promise rejuvenation.

​The Neighbourhood
Hagal Farm is the place for you if you enjoy the countryside, nature and quiet!! We are reasonable 'far out', some would even call it 'in the middle of nowhere!' The nearest village to us is KealKill. It's around 7km away. This has one grocery shop and two pubs! :) Bantry, a lively seaside town, is 12km from us and it has numerous shops, restaurants, bars, a large supermarket and a cinema. It also has a great Organic shop and cafe. This is our main town, and it's around 20 mins drive from the Farm. (Kealkill is around 12 min drive away)

Make sure to visit the Bantry market on a Fri morning!

Bantry House is a lovely old estate with beautiful gardens that you can visit. There is a golf course in Bantry and the local hotel has a leisure centre open to the public. There are loads of beautiful walks in the area, the nearest one is just on Hagal's doorstep, (sheeps headway) which continues out all along the peninsula. Glengarriff is a tourist town 24km away, which has lovely Irish tourist shops, beautiful old woodlands, boat trips to Garnish Island (Italian Gardens), Ewe Gardens and more.
