Bed and Breakfast and Self Catering Accommodation at Kilbrogan House 

Kilbrogan House Bed and Breakfast accommodation is a listed historic house built in 1818 located in Bandon, West Cork. Just 16 miles from Cork airport, this is an ideal base for touring the south west of Ireland.   We fell in love with this wonderful georgian house in the early 1990s and have spent many years restoring it.  Most of the original features have been retained yet we have incorporated many modern luxuries. We look forward to our guests sharing our enthusiasm about this house! In our B&B you will feel like you are deep in the countryside yet you are just minutes walk away from the thriving town centre with many excellent shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs.

We are a brother and sister team, David and Catherine FitzMaurice.  David is a qualified chef and will prepare your breakfast for you.  I will help you with everything else so please don't hesitate to ask for advice, suggestions and recommendations!

You will find that no two bedrooms are alike in the accommodation.  We invite you to try out our comfortable beds complete with luxurious, pocket sprung mattresses and starched egyptian cotton bed linen.  Relax as you bathe or feel refreshed and envigorated after a power shower.  You might even wish to while away a few peaceful hours in our sun-filled conservatory that overlooks our walled garden.  We have wireless internet access in our B&B for those who come with their own computers.  A desktop pc is also available for guests who do not have their own pc.
