Throughout the year there is plenty to do in and around Inish Beg whilst on your holidays:

• The indoor swimming pool, steam room and exercise room are open all year round.
• The gardens and woodlands have been replanted so as to be interesting in each season and are particularly exciting in spring / early summer.
• Inish Beg is on a major European migratory route and bird watching in spring and autumn will be particularly rewarding — probably the best in Ireland!

There are a variety of activities and events taking place throughout
