Things to Do

The Bay House is the perfect base in which to enjoy the Ireland people only dream about. Set in the heart of West Cork, you'll soon find out why this area is known as 'A Place Apart'. Nature sets the pace in this beautiful south west corner of Ireland with its zig-zagging coastline, inlets and beaches. There's the perfect holiday for everyone: whether you want to throw yourself into every activity or just relax and get away from it all. Try your hand at surfing, golf, horse-riding, kayaking, birdwatching or whale watching. Visit beautiful gardens, enjoy traditional music and sample delicious food - West Cork’s farmers, award-winning artisan producers and chefs are leading Ireland’s culinary revolution.  The area is part of the Wild Atlantic Way and there are plenty of picturesque walks in and around Clonakilty and the local area.
