A Holiday Apartment Unlike Any Other in North Cork
High above the rooftops of Doneraile — one of County Cork's most beautiful historic estate villages — our penthouse apartment offers something genuinely rare: period character, designer interiors and an immediate connection to the natural world.
Through original sash windows, gaze out over the walled garden and deep into Doneraile Estate. Step through our back gate and you are already inside 500 acres of ancient parkland. This is self-catering accommodation in North Cork at its most distinctive.
The rooms and furnishings reflect our host Myra's background as a professional interior designer — period pieces, luxurious textures and fabrics sit alongside every high-end modern convenience you could need.
