The lovely welcome, comfortable room and amazing breakfast.

Beverley United Kingdom

The breakfast was first class and the cup of tea on arrival was something else. Our host was a lovely lady with a beautiful smile. The only down side was it was difficult to find but we got there and would without a shadow of a doubt stay there again and I would highly recommend it. Very nice indeed.

Martin Ireland

Siobhan and Val were lovely hosts , made us feel very welcome .

Wendy United Kingdom

The hosts were most welcoming and kind, Siobhan gave us the warmest welcome and showed us around, Val spared time talking to us throughout the evening. We felt as if we were visiting friends. The room we had was separate from the main building with a private terrace, it was spacious, clean and with the most amazing views and sunset. The breakfast was just perfect, we had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, fresh fruit salad and beautiful hand made jams from local fruits. We most definitely hope to visit again.

I can't recommend La Mirage highly enough. The host was very friendly and welcoming. The room was perfect and had fabulous views over Bantry Bay. There were lots of extra toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities which even included chocolate and a selection of herbal teas. The whole place was spotless. The bed was very comfortable with plenty extra pillows etc if needed. Breakfast was truly fit for a King! As well as fresh fruit and orange juice there was a variety of cereals. This was followed by a choice of cooked breakfast which included scrambled egg with smoked salmon as well as the usual "Full Irish" All freshly cooked to perfection. This was accompanied by a selection of toast, homemade brown bread and scones. Overall it is a place I definitely intend staying again. A must for anyone in the Bantry area. You won't be disappointed.

Val and Siobhán Lynch
La Mirage is situated 3 miles from Bantry town. We are a family run B&B. Elevated spacious country home overlooking Bantry Bay. Peaceful location, friendly atmosphere. La Mirage B&B is an ideal location for walking, cycling or hiking, ideal for day trips to the Beara Peninsula, Mizen Head, short trips to Glengarriff and Garnish Island, or to Gougane Barra. You need a car to stay in our B&B as public transport is really limited. Ample free private parking.
The Lynch family cordially welcome all our guests to La Mirage. Val is available and willing to discuss and plan itineraries with you, his local knowledge and information on hidden routes is a bonus.
Relax in the evening with good food in Bantry, The Snug, Fish Kitchen and The Brick Oven are just a few enjoyable places to eat. In Ballylickey you can enjoy The Seaview House Hotel or Manning's Emporium for Gourmet Food/Wine. Bantry House is 3 miles from here and is one of the finest historic houses in Ireland with glorious views of Bantry Bay and Whiddy Island. Bikes for hire in Bantry town, enjoy cycling on the quiet rural walkways along the Wild Atlantic Way. Enjoy a walk and picnic in Glengarriff Nature Reserve.
