Amazing place well worth a little extra drive. Best breakfast on our whole trip!

Sj Germany

Norma and Mary were wonderful! They were very welcoming and hospitable.

Cathy United States of America

Genuine Irish hospitality, friendly and sincere. The kids loved petting the baby cows and the breakfast was amazing. Norma is a gem.

Anita Australia

Norma was a great host, giving suggestions to satisfy our interests.

Joel United States of America

Beautiful freshly baked scones with breakfast abd very friendly staff! Thought the room and beds were fab... Such comfy beds.... Pictures didn't do it justice!

Jennifer Ireland

Wonderful nice B&B, located quiet but near the next main roads. What a host! Feeled warm and friendly, as we arrived, directly a hot coffee and fresh cake was offered. Wonderful! And the breakfast was amazing. Thank you very much!

Marcel Ireland

The owner was very friendly and took an interest in making us feel welcome. We arrived and there was a friendly welcome with fresh tea and buns ready for us. Breakfast options were plentiful and delicious. Room was also comfortable and made for a good sleep.

Tim Ireland

We were greeted very warmly though it was late at night. We were offered a cup of tea to start with and the owner sat with us and asked us what we would like for breakfast which I think was very accommodating. Thank you again and will definitely drop by again whenever we have the chance.

Mustafa Mauritius

Norma was great. The rooms and the home were fantastic. The breakfast was exceptional and Norma’s local knowledge was most helpful. Would return on next trip.

Paul Australia

The owner welcomed us with a cup of tea and homemade muffins, which were more than appreciated after a long drive. The house is very cosy and the view from the room is spectacular: nature and peace is what you find when you stay here. The room had a private bathroom with all the facilities. The breakfast was excellent with homemade scones, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese and cereal plus a selection of typical Irish breakfast.

Norma

Ard na Greine Country House stands on a wonderful rural location on the outskirts of the vibrant town of Clonakilty. It draws people who want to see an Ireland of small communities, majestic nature and that special magic, fed by soft rains, ancient traditions and generous geography

On arriving at Ard Na Greine you will find the sense of hospitality is alive and well. A warm welcome awaits you from Norma who prides herself in giving her guests every comfort. Her personal attention, together with a plentiful supply of wholesome fresh food, makes for a very pleasant and homely stay. It was such praise from a delighted guest that led to Norma previously winning the Failte Ireland Welcome Awards in the Bed & Breakfast category. The core of the contented house is a bustling kitchen and Norma sees that each guest starts the day with a buffet style breakfast with a varied breakfast menu comprising of traditional Irish breakfast, fresh fruits, yoghurts, cheeses, fish and egg dishes, porridge, cereals, freshly baked scones and breads, and homemade preserves. Norma understands the little things that make holiday memories precious and when people set out to discover her part of the world, she makes sure that Ard Na Greine counts among the discovered treasures – a warm family home with its door open to the world.

Ard Na Greine stands on a wonderful rural location on the outskirts of the vibrant town of Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland. It is a large comfortable house with unspoilt views of the countryside. Blessed with great scenery and close to many fine beaches stretching from Kinsale to the Beara Peninsula. It draws people who want to see an Ireland of small communities, majestic nature and that special magic that is fed by her soft rains, ancient traditions and generous geography. Although set in the quite and tranquil countryside of West Cork, we are accessible from all major airports and ports, and provide an excellent base from which to tour the region.
