This B&B was everything we could have asked for; a stunning home with beautiful grounds and views, wonderful breakfasts and very gracious hosts, Carlol and Jim. Our room was spacious with very nice furnishings. We enjoyed chatting with Carol at breakfast. We highly recommend this B&B for a relaxing stay!

This B&B is outstanding. You could not get the comfort or 1uality of food and hospitality like it in any hotel. The room, furnishings, view and care to attention is exceptional. Linens on the tables and freshly cooked breakfast options were top notch. Thank you for making our break just the best.

Lis-Ardagh Lodge is a very lovely B&B near the quaint seaside town of Union Hall. The view from our spacious, comfortable room of the emerald green hills & farms was so beautiful. We could see the ocean in the distance. Breakfast was so delicious - salmon omelet, crepe pancakes, fruit & wonderful French press coffee. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Lough Hyne Nature reserve: Lough Hyne/Ine Lough Hyne (or whichever way you like to spell it) is the perfect place if you enjoy walking, hill climbing, or a gentle stroll through wooded lanes along a lake shore. This is Ireland's only marine nature reserve and it is an inland saline lake connected to the sea by rapids. It's a treasure house of unusual species such as sea urchins and oysters which are strictly protected. Loughine is an ideal location for swimming, bird and seal watching. This is a spot known far and wide for being peaceful and part of its tranquil atmosphere comes from being protected from the worst of the winds by steep hills on three sides. If you're feeling like a challenge, climb the wooded Knockamagh hill behind the lake to get an unsurpassed view of Baltimore, Roaringwater Bay and Carbery's Hundred isles. A more relaxing hour could be spent wandering along the western shore towards Barloge Creek & the rapids. You'll notice a small island in the centre of the lake and a crumbling ruin - this is where the much disliked Sir Fineen O'Driscoll ended his days in 1629, alone and in poverty, having sold his clansmen's lands to the English in return for a title. A pot of gold is said to be buried there! More information on the lake is displayed in the Skibbereen Heritage Centre.
