Janet was a gracious host. Proud of her family. It was delightful to hear her stories of Irish life. Breakfast was delicious. A quiet night's rest. Parking was fine. She sent us on our way with tea and water.

Janet
Grey Gables Farmhouse celebrates 50 Years as B&B this year, it has old country house charm complemented by a small farm. set in a quiet rural country location, built in 1925, it was bought in 1968 by my parents as a young couple with a dream to run a B&B. They opened the doors in 1970 to the first guests. My husband and I bought it from my Janets Father to continue the family run business. So many love the quiet country roads to walk, listen to the birdsong, watch cattle grazing in the fields nearby and get away from the busyness of life. You won't be dissapointed by the Food and comfort you will be served. Breakfasts are varied -, from Traditional Irish, Omlete, French toast, Scrambled Egg, Waffles with Fresh Fruit and Maple Syrup, Scotch Pancakes just to mention a few, all served with homemade fresh baking - scones, brown bread, farmhouse loaf and more. It only takes minutes to the local village of Innishannon, visit Kinsale (10km) for evening meal and it's charm. Cork City is 16km, Cork Airport 17km. We are situated 1km off the main N71 Cork to Bandon road. Why not make Grey Gables a place to stay in 2020!
I love to meet people from all over the world. When guests arrive at our doorstep it is lovely to greet them and have a chat and get to know them. My garden is very special to me, lots of colour and bloom surround the house. What really thrills me is when folk are satisified with the breakfast that I enjoy cooking for them and there is lots of variety and the comfort the house offers, having being recently renovated to a high standard. My hobbies would be cooking, gardening and sewing (when I get time, mainly in the winter! Along with my husband we have a small farm attached to the B&B. We have Six children, all grown up now - all 6 married and 10 beautiful happy grandchildren!
Our neighbourhood is very quiet. Folk living around us are friendly and welcoming. Grey Gables Farmhouse is a skip from Innishannon village which is steeped in history from the old church Tower ruins and grave yard to the Newer churches there is many other buildings and walks around the village to visit. Kinsale is 10 km away with its many restaurants ,hotels and bars to visit to get the best of food. It is a beautiful harbour town with quite a Spanish feel to it, walk up and down all the narrow streets and get that old charm feel. Enjoy a lovely meal there. Charlesfort is a must to visit, overlooking Kinsale and the harbour with lovely walks by the sea. Watch the sun go down, so peaceful and beautiful. Cork City , with all its attractions, Blarney Castle, City Goal, University, Cathedrals and The Famous English Market are but a few all within 10 km of Grey Gables. There is Cobh with the Titanic Experience, the Cathedral and Spike Island to visit from there. In Midleton you have the Jameson Heritage Centre to explore.
