Fernhill House Hotel is set in a peaceful, tranquil setting with outstanding sporting and leisure activities close by. Winter and Summer, Spring and Autumn we are surrounded by some of Ireland's most outstanding coastline and scenery.

Clonakilty town, which is located just a few minutes away, is renowned for its selection of real Irish pubs and restaurants with enviable reputations for food par excellence.

We are an ideal holiday destination and base from which to tour West Cork, a region blessed with some of Ireland's most spectacular scenery.

Clonakilty is the Beach Centre of West Cork. Numerous unspoilt sandy beaches, coves and harbours nearby are a must to be explored. The natural beauty of the surrounding countryside is enhanced even more by the abundance of birdlife to be discovered on Clonakilty's tidal bay, marshes and hinterland. Some 201 species have been recorded along 20 miles of coast.

Clonakilty has been designated as West Cork's Heritage Town by Board Failte, and a visit to the town soon shows why. You'll feel at home here among the attractive traditional shop fronts and hand painted signs in English and Irish. The Post Office is housed in an old Presbyterian church and the Town Council and Library in a converted Corn Mill with the river flowing beneath. Narrow streets and lanes open into elegant squares. It is a town of tall spires, towers and historic buildings - the brewery buildings, the mills and the quayside warehouses, telling of the town's busy trading and industrial past. Clonakilty was the first fair trade town in Ireland and is located a few miles from the birthplace of Michael Collins.
