About the Resort:

Set amongst 170 acres of the beautiful wooded Shournagh valley, close to the historic town of Blarney in County Cork, a town steeped in history and rugged natural beauty surrounded by breath-taking scenery and is rich in folklore, nostalgia and legend. No visit to Blarney is complete without scaling to the dizzy heights of Irelands world recognised attraction, Blarney Castle, to kiss the Blarney Stone located only minutes away. Legend has it that those who kiss it are granted the gift of Eloquence.

In addition to its 18-hole golf course, this 4 star resort features a full service health spa, fitness health club, indoor 20 metre pool, a spa tub, sauna and steam room. Meeting facilities include conference rooms and a banquet facilities plus high speed internet access. Onsite car parking is complimentary. Dine in the award winning Inniscarra Restaurant showcasing quality wines and contemporary Irish cusine, or relax with a friend over a drink and some tasty culinary delights in Cormac's bar which also features regular entertainment to add to the atmosphere.

Cork City itself is just 8 miles away and excellently served by commuter trains, a motorway network and a new international airport terminal, while Cork’s ferry port at Ringaskiddy brings passengers to and from the UK and Mainland Europe on a regular basis. Renowned Shannon Airport and Limerick City are within easy driving distance and the Resort’s close proximity to beautiful West Cork offers visitors the very best of Irish tourist experiences.

Blarney Village, home of the famous Blarney Castle, is just 3 miles away and it is here that you can, as legend has it, acquire ‘the gift of the gab’ (or ‘eloquence’ as some might put it) by kissing the Blarney Stone’. If this doesn’t tempt you then Blarney Woollen Mills, Blarney Homes and Gardens and the Blarney Castle Estate with its magnificent woodland walks, are all wonderful places to visit while you are here. Or why not explore the Shournagh Valley with its protected forest, the flora and fauna and ancient standing stones. It really is a truly magical place.
