Specialist Bed & Breakfasts - Food

'Bia Blasta’, an Irish term meaning tempting food.    Explore the culinary areas of Irish Cooking, from freshly grown produce to visits to farmers markets to the best part of all, eating the end result, mmmmm!  Our specialist food homes can arrange activities related to food, such as cookery demonstrations or herb growing to name a few and the in-house cooking will be second to none, in season and local where available.  You may need to go on a specialist walking trip after this one!!

Willowbank House
When absorbing the breathtaking views from the elevated situation of Willowbank House you will truly feel like ‘king of the castle’!!  Look around and it feels like the entire county of Fermanagh is laid out before you. From the Cuilcagh and Belmore Islands to Castle Coole and the Marble Arch Caves.  You even have your own ‘moat’, in the form of the meandering Erne waterway, which sweeps around just below Willowbank, locally known as the Bellevue Ring. 

Greenmount Lodge
Greenmount Lodge was built on the site an 18th century estate house, though a more modern building; it is surrounded by the existing stone outhouses which form a courtyard, whose walls could tell a few stories.   In fact there’s a song “Greenmount Smiling Ann” which is about a servant girl who fell in love with the masters’ son and was murdered the night before they were to leave together for America. 

St Judes
On the main Bus route to the centre of Galway, city of the tribes; and within walking distance of bustling Salthill, St Jude’s is the perfect base for access to a stroll on the promenade, an evening at the theatre or a browse around the shops.  A very distinguished building circa. 1920’s, St Jude’s was carefully restored & extended in 1996 to incorporate today’s modern comforts whilst retaining the original features of this classic home.
