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.

“The Boat House at Inish Beg, designed by architect Tony Cohu, has become a famous piece of modernist Irish architecture, sitting proud out on the water on the Inish Beg estate, Frank Lloyd Wright meets Glen Murcott on an island off the coast of – where else?- West Cork. Aside from the Boat House, there are lots of other superbly comfortable cottages to rent in Paul and Georgie Keane’s complex of rental properties, and there is also the terrifically delicious Inish Beg honey to be enjoyed”
