The hosts made made us feel extremely welcome. The bed was so comfy we did not want to get up for breakfast the next morning. Full Irish breakfast was perfect, with homemade soda bread, scones, jam, marmalade and rhubarb. The location and views were beautiful from the dining room. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. They both gave us advise on where to go and what to see. Fantastic couple. Great bed and breakfast.

The owners were very friendly and chatty, they give us a few tips for our road trip. The food was delicious, we also got some gluten and dairy free options. The location is grand, a lot of nice views. Also, they have a pony, dog and a few other animals there to keep you company.

Siobhan and Val are perfect hosts and made myself and my two daughters feel very at home and relaxed. Nice comfortable room with a great view, easy bike ride into Bantry, lots of cute animals around and breakfast was 5 star. Excellent value too.

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.
