Art West Cork Ireland
Inish Beg provides an ideal base for an artist, or art lover, on
holiday. Many artists and crafts people from around Ireland and the
World have moved into West Cork because of its beauty and strong
arts community. The area is full of galleries and artists workshops
where you can deal directly with the artist or view the works of a
few artists at a time.
The quiet and beauty of Inish Beg Island offers the perfect spot
for an artist retreat. Enjoy the comfortable accommodation and feel
free to roam through the gardens, woodland, and shoreline to seek
inspiration. We are moving forward now with our plans for an
artist's hut to cater for such retreats.

“The Boat House at Inish Beg, designed by architect Tony Cohu, has become a famous piece of modernist Irish architecture, sitting proud out on the water on the Inish Beg estate, Frank Lloyd Wright meets Glen Murcott on an island off the coast of – where else?- West Cork. Aside from the Boat House, there are lots of other superbly comfortable cottages to rent in Paul and Georgie Keane’s complex of rental properties, and there is also the terrifically delicious Inish Beg honey to be enjoyed”
