This, the island's only hotel, would make a comfortable base for a break and is understandably popular for weddings, as the island location has romantic appeal.

The Islanders Rest

Just a 10 minute ferry trip across Baltimore harbour (foot passengers only), Sherkin is a small island about 3.5 miles long by 11/2 miles wide with a population of only a hundred or so, and three lovely safe beaches.


This, the island's only hotel, would make a comfortable base for a break and is understandably popular for weddings, as the island location has romantic appeal.


It is quite basic but the rooms are clean and the bar offers a fair choice of dishes, including good steaks with garlic butter and chips. Pleasant service by staff and owner.


Large bedrooms include some family rooms with four beds, and most have stunning views; all have quite good quality pine beds and soft furnishings, television, phone and en-suite bathroom, although the price may seem high for the standard offered.


There's a large breakfast room for guests as well as a sitting room with open fireplace.

Conference/banqueting (40/110). Rooms 21 (all en-suite). B&B €60 pps, ss €20. Children welcome (under 3s free in parents' bedroom, cot available). Fishing, walking, garden. Pool table. No pets. SC discretionary. Open all year but a phone call is essential to check in winter. Ferry enquiries: Tel 028 20218. abbreviations
