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 or in our
coach house apartments, 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 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.
If a self catering
apartment or vacation rental is what you are looking for, our coach
house in the courtyard has three self catering one bedroom
apartments. You will be able to
cook for yourselves and will have your own private sitting room.
Outside July and August we offer self catering for all periods from
just a couple of nights to a week. All our guests
share the large walled garden. You are welcome to try your
hand at croquet and lawn badminton! Please take a look at some
of our other pages on this site!
