Testimonials

" The food is just superb, all dishes were excellent, fabulous special touches of edible flowers, local produce, really cooked with love. The location is very special, on the edge of Gougane Barra Forest Park. It is within walking distance of the hotel, so you don't have to deal with a long drive to walking destinations. "

About Us

Our fifth-generation family-run hotel is well known for its warm welcome, great team from all over the world, wholesome food, personal service and welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

Tucked away in a romantic, glaciated valley in the south-west of Ireland and surrounded by mountains, our hotel is situated in a breath-taking position on the edge of Gougane Barra lake, right next to St Finbarr's island oratory.

We open seasonally from the end of March to early November each year. 

Come and make our home yours in Gougane Barra this season.

Neil and Katy
