Irish Holiday Cottages

The Boat House captures the imagination of one of
Ireland's best known travel writers, John McKenna,
in the Spring 2005 edition of Room magazine:

"On approach, it seemed the Boat House was embedded in woodland. Now, the uninhibited proximity to the sea is exhilirating:
you feel that the house has cast adrift from the land."

"...open the door, walk through into the living room, and the secret of the Boat House is uncovered...
The room appears almost to float on the water."

While photographer John Minihane perfectly captures
the essense of luxury and privacy of our lovely Boat House.

"Tranquility with all the right trappings"

Colin Coyle describes Inish Beg as
"an award-winning, all-season holiday retreat
with distinctive accommodation".

After a trip to Inish Beg, Tommy Barker,
Property Editor, Irish Examiner, writes:
"There should be a sign at the bridge to Inish Beg, declaring 'Abandon stress all ye who enter here'".

Inish Beg was awarded the Overall National Rural Tourism Award 2004, in recognition of the careful transition of the Island into self catering accommodation that is second to none, setting a new standard for Irish Tourism.
