Tucked away in a valley of the Shehy Mountains, near Ballingeary in Co Cork’s Muskerry Gaeltacht, Neil and Katy Lucey’s delightful sixth-generation hotel is in one of Ireland’s most peaceful and beautiful locations. It overlooks Gougane Barra Lake, famous for its little 6th-century island church, St Finbarr’s Oratory, and it’s an especially popular base for walking holidays. But bike hire, fishing and rowing (for residents) are all available on site too, and the warmth and hospitality of the Luceys and their staff make it a very special destination for discerning visitors of all ages and many interests. Whether to stay in one of the lovingly refurbished lakeside rooms, or enjoy a delicious meal in the restaurant, it’s a really lovely place to visit - and Katy’s excellent ingredients-led cooking showcasing local producers (and including a very good breakfast) is always worth travelling for. All round Gougane Barra Hotel offers a wonderfully restorative escape from the demands of modern life.
