The beautiful Kilmahon House, built in 1780, is a fully restored Georgian Country House offering elegant Bed & Breakfast accommodation. The house is also available for smaller events on special request. Just 30 minutes from Cork airport and the Historic city of Cork, Kilmahon is situated in the East Cork Village of Shanagarry. It is only a short walk to Ballymaloe Cookery School and the blueflag beaches along Ballycotton Bay.
Kilmahon is an impressive listed Glebe Heritage House of Ireland and has been lovingly restored over a number of years. The result is a seamless blend of original period features and modern facilities, set within the idyllic coastal surroundings of County Cork’s nature.
Spending a few days in this secluded ancient environment offers a chance to rejuvenate in comfort and peace. Weather with a good book in front of a warm fire or a stroll through the old gardens, you will find yourself uplifted and reset from the stresses of everyday life.
THE GROUNDS
While the house was restored so too were the gardens surrounding it. The walled rose garden has been brought back to life and is a feast of colour through the summer months; a perfect and private space for guests to relax in. An expansive lawn to the front provides a large open space and stunning views over fields toward the ocean, while old stone walls and mature trees in abundance maintain the sense of privacy at Kilmahon.
THE RECEPTION ROOMS
Period fireplaces with log fires set a welcoming tone in each of the elegant reception rooms in Kilmahon House. Rooms are tastefully furnished with antiques and original art work effortlessly combining style and comfort. Large Georgian windows provide idyllic views onto the formal gardens below and Ballycotton Bay beyond.
THE BEDROOMS
A wonderful nights rest in one of the six individually designed en-suite bedrooms awaits guests at Kilmahon House. Recent restorations allow for the inclusion of modern power showers and super-king beds whilst still enjoying the ambience of antique furniture, sumptuous furnishings and spectacular scenic views.

Don't Take Our Word For It...
"We recently had the pleasure of staying at Kilmahon house for a weekend with friends. The accommodation is super and Julia's hospitality cannot be faulted. Nothing was ever any trouble, breakfast was superb. A very personal stay, with a beautiful homemade cake for general consumption in the afternoons, which was delicious! We look forward to many more stays. It is truly a very peaceful and relaxing location. Couldn't recommend it any higher! The house is well located for coastal beach walks, trips to Cork and Ballymaloe House. "

“This was the perfect place for us to wind down and escape while still serving as a launching pad to area attractions. I was so content to just read my book in the Georgian sitting room sipping a port or nibbling on the afternoon cake and tea the hostess puts out every afternoon. Next time we stay for a whole week! Thank you Julia!!”
