A top Irish export, there are many local producers of food, many
using traditional and organic methods. These foods are available in
local shops, country & farmers markets and direct from the farm.
Most famous are the fish products and farmhouse cheeses, all produced
by traditional methods, mostly by hand, with a taste and quality
assurance found no where else. Also fresh seafood can be purchased
"just off the dock", a real treat for your holiday.

“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”
