We spent a couple of hours touring the gardens and the public rooms inside the house. My partner and I are both decoration and history buffs, so we took our time discovering the lovely interiors and really enjoyed ourselves. Outside, the views from the main terrasse overlooking the bay are fantastic and climbing all the way to the top is worth the exercise. The gardens and the grounds are quite pretty and a lot of fun to explore. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

We called into Bantry tourist office today and were delighted with the information we received. Claire and Mairead went over and above the call of duty with regards to our request. We were searching for a friend's, long lost friend and really had no idea where to start. We will be meeting up with the lost friend tomorrow. The ladies were fantastic, a credit to Bantry, West Cork and Ireland. Thank you from the Tomlin's.

Stayed there for a pint. One unusual feature - little shop before pub itself. Nice atmosphere and staff, good beer.
