West Cork Ireland County Cork is Ireland's largest county, located in the southwest of the country. West Cork, the area west of Cork City, is known as a region of its own and has long been popular with tourists from other areas of Ireland, the UK, Europe, USA and the rest of the World. West Cork has an atmosphere unique in Ireland, where the climate & vegetation benefit from the warm currents of the Gulf Stream. The coastline has sandy beaches, stunning high cliffs, wild moorland, native woodlands, archaeological remains and traditional fishing villages. The people of West Cork are equally unique and offer a mix of Irish families whose ancestors developed the area and expatriates who came to West Cork and fell in love with the area. The residents include a high percentage of artists and musicians who have been inspired in the atmosphere of West Cork.

Inish Beg, Irish for "small island", is the most northerly of the Carbery Hundred Islands of County Cork Ireland and lies in the unspoiled tidal estuary of the Ilen River.

You can escape and enjoy complete tranquility on their rural island retreat amidst the 97 acres of private subtropical gardens and farmland. The local flora and fauna benefit from the mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream.

Off the island, just across the stone bridge, you are a short drive away from Ireland's best amenities: unrivalled coastal scenery, walking, climbing, horse riding, fishing, sailing, beaches, golf courses, bird watching and whale watching, kayaking, canoeing and award winning restaurants and welcoming pubs - everything to make your self catering holidays magic!
