From the owner

The Fish House, somewhere you can relax… and call home, is a pretty stone cottage with a beautiful country feel to it. Think Liscannor flag stonefloors, elm worktops, painted tongue and groove panelling, lime-washed walls, Irish country furniture and you’re nearly there. Add an eclectic mix of Moroccan wall hangings, hurricane lamps, books and paintings, and we hope we’ve created somewhere you can really enjoy!

Glance out the windows when the tide is high and it's like being on a boat with views of the water in most directions. Seals occasionally pay a visit, or the local kingfisher may get over his shyness and perch on the deck, or the ducks (if it's the right time of year) may provide entertainment as they teach their ducklings to swim on the pond beneath the study window. It's a place to watch wildlife go by or while away the hours with a good book.

Just realised as I prep for 2024 that I never responded to your lovely review. Thank you. It was wonderful having you to stay at the Fish House and so pleased you all enjoyed it with its nod to past eras in its decor and style. Hope you're keeping well.
