These poolside lodges have been freshly renovated for this summer’s guests

By Yay Cork May 1, 2023April 27, 2023

Brought to you by Ballylickey House, Garden Lodges & Poolhouse.

Regular guests return year after year.

Hidden in the lush countryside near bustling Bantry in West Cork, Ballylickey House, Garden Lodges & Poolhouse is one of the area’s best-kept secrets.

Now the luxury holiday retreat has unveiled a trio of self-catering lodge makeovers, ensuring that this summer’s visitors enjoy the height of luxury during their stay, as well as the freedom to cook their gourmet finds from the local markets.

Guests at the property, surrounded by spectacular gardens planted some 80 years ago, have exclusive access to that rare Irish sight, a heated outdoor pool.

That means no matter what the temperamental Irish weather is doing, you can start or finish your day with an invigorating dip.

Lounge in luxury

Nestled into the landscaped grounds, the gorgeous lodges enjoy pool views and sleep between two and four guests each.

Inside, the decor is plush and comfortable, with large en-suite bathrooms, HD LED flat-screen televisions with international channels, free Wi-Fi, kitchens with full cooking facilities, USB points, and hairdryers.

The poolside lounge is a gathering place where you can meet for coffee and make a plan for the day or relax on the leather sofas with a glass of wine or a soft drink.

The location of Ballylickey House is also ideal for exploring West Cork, with plenty of outdoor activities available nearby. From hiking and cycling to fishing and boating, there is something for everyone.

The property is close to the charming towns of Bantry and Glengarriff, where visitors can enjoy local chowder and seafood, live music, and culture as well as some of the best sightseeing this part of the world has to offer.
