Ancient woodland
Old trees, winding paths and pockets of quiet.
The island

Inish Beg sits in the Ilen estuary between Baltimore and Skibbereen. Woodland paths, cultivated gardens, farmland and shoreline run through the estate, with the tide changing the landscape throughout the day.
Across the bridge

Fruit, flowers, vegetables and herbs, grown within the old stone walls.
The indoor heated pool
Open year-round to staying guests, with a steam room alongside.
The shoreline
Sheltered water, changing tides and views across the Ilen.
