Stone Barn is a boutique B&B, rural retreat and private rental with fine dining in West Cork.
Our charming bed and breakfast close to Skibbereen in West Cork is the perfect place to stay when visiting Mizen Head and the many other West Cork attractions.
You will find us nestled down a narrow and secluded country lane, in the less-travelled area of the West Cork countryside. We offer a peaceful escape for travellers looking for something different. Stone Barn B&B feels completely remote yet we are located just 12 minutes' drive from Skibbereen and have easy access to the stunning Wild Atlantic Way. If you are looking to explore the area’s many destinations including Loch Hyne, Baltimore and the islands, Mizen Head and Sheep’s Head then here you will find the perfect accommodation, away from the noise.
Our food and dining are what sets us truly apart, from our artisan breakfast to our very special tasting menu in the evenings.
Stone Barn is a lovingly restored former livestock shelter that blends traditional Irish cottage charm with Scandinavian-inspired décor. Intended as a cosy place of calm in which to unwind and dine, we cater to couples and small groups of up to six guests looking for a calm, restorative getaway or stop-over.
Enjoy the countryside views from our beautiful gardens and the company of our friendly animals, including five cats, dog, hens and neighbouring cattle.
Quiet evenings, starry skies, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere in which to relax, eat and recharge.
Welcome to our countryside home! We are a couple who are passionate about creating a relaxed and welcoming visit. Stuart is a proferssional chef originally from Northern Ireland and Karin creates the atmosphere of her native Sweden. We work together to create a unique and unforgettable stay for you.
