Ballynatray Riverside Area

Standing on the banks of the River Blackwater in the Ballynatray Estate it is very easy to lose all sense of time and be completely overcome with what can only be described as the beauty of the area. The mesmerising scent of the sea air drifting up the river from the harbour in Youghal. Ballynatray Estate is one of the finest estates to be found in the Irish countryside and has such a rich history that every guest is welcome to explore during a stay here. The landscape of the estate was laid out in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, during which time a causeway was built connecting Dairinis, where Molana Abbey is built to the shore east and west. The effect is a romantic and picturesque circuit from the House and Garden. Take a Ballynatray Picnic with you and explore the stunning parkland and gardens with commanding views of the Blackwater River. Along the riverside Ballynatray Estate offers two private holiday rentals and these are namely The Boat House & The River Cottage.

The Boat House

There is only one way to describe The Boat House and that is as a romantic private holiday rental on the waterfront. It is the ideal adult only location where romantic notions are never very far away. The boat house is an open plan room with a King-size bed in the centre. to the left is the most luxurious free standing bath were you can enjoy breathtaking views of the River Blackwater while the lullaby of the waves on the bank underneath bring a very relaxed atmosphere.

This property is not a self-catering property. The clever idea behind this fantastic holiday rental is that while it is private to just you there is also no cooking involved either. Equipped with a microwave, kettle & fridge it is all that is needed for a couple who love to dine out and not have to worry about the washing up. The Boat House is offered to guests on a two night minimum basis. Checked in to The Boat House for any weekend means it would be impossible not to let the hustle & bustle of the working week float down river!

The River Cottage

Further along the River Blackwater lies The River Cottage which like the The Boat House enjoys breathtaking views of the river and some of the Ballynatray Estate. This fabulous one bedroom Cottage is a another amazing private holiday rental. The cottage, split between two levels boasts a beautiful large and spacious master bedroom and is even more magical when you hear the wood crackling in the fireplace on one side while entertaining some notion of maybe a game of tennis on the court which is at the rear of the River Cottage.

This property is not a self-catering property. Like the Boat House the clever idea behind this fantastic holiday rental is that while it is private to just you there is also no cooking involved either. Equipped with a microwave, kettle & fridge it is all that is needed for a couple who love to dine out and not have to worry about the washing up. With more stunning views of the River Blackwater and it’s own patio to enjoy morning coffee and a read of the paper the River Cottage is a must stay for two!
