In one of the
loveliest valleys in
County Cork and just three miles from the sea the Old Mill
Building at Inchy Bridge has been tastefully converted into
comfortable self-catering Lodges for visitors and
their families. Each Lodge comprises a large kitchen-living
room downstairs with an open fireplace, and upstairs can sleep a
total of six in
a double bedroom and a second bedroom with four full size bunks.
Thereis a shower room and airing cupboard, and each Lodge is fully
equipped with
colour tv, kitchen utensils, bedding, sheets, ironing board etc.
Only towels need be provided by guests.
Comfort on wet days is assured by
double glazing and central heating throughout, and an outside patio
allows guests tp enjoy sunny evenings. Thirty metres away across the
lawn is the purpose-built Service Centre,
comprising a rod room, a laundry with washing machine and drier, and
deep freeze for fishermen̓s catch. Groceries can be bought next
door at the “Creamery” the Farmers Co-operative.
Within a ten mile
radius there is
horse riding, golf, windsurfing, tennis, and some the finest beaches in
the county. There are magnificent walks along the valley, the haunt of
otters and herons; and scenic drives
along the spectacular coastline of County Cork. In the evenings
entertainment can be found in local bars and cafes, and the
region is justly
famous for some of the best restaurants in the British Isles,
specialising in home-grown produce.
Anyone who enjoys
fishing has a wide
choice: day boats can be hired at the pier in nearby Courtmacsherry to
go sea angling. Children can enjoy fishing for mackerel off the rocks;
and twenty minutes drive away
there is salmon fishing on the Bandon River. Best of all the Lodge
visitor has only to walk across the watermeadow to be on the banks of
the
‘Little Silver Stream̓, the Argideen River, rated one of
the best sea trout rivers in the south-west. Fishing rights on the
Argideen are included in the rental.
With its tranquil and unspoiled
setting, the Argideen River Lodges have won a coveted Environmental
Award, and are an ideal choice for a relaxing family holiday and
are pet friendly.
