Cork Harbour may be familiar to many as it was one of the ports of call for the Tall Ships in recent years. In fact, sailing is readily available in the vicinity of Cobh as are all the other water sports such as canoeing, windsurfing and swimming. All our rooms have en-suite facilities and most have a marvellous view of Cork Harbour and the many ships and ferries that pass our house and garden. Fota Golf Club is nearby, and is the venue for the Murphys Irish Open for 2001 and 2002. </p> <p><br> <br> <br> </p> <h1>Cork</h1> <p>A cross river ferry operates to the far side of the river and this three minute crossing enables the tourist to reach such places as Kinsale, and west Cork very quickly. There are several golf clubs within easy reach. </p> <h1>Accommodation</h1> <p>Seafield bed and breakfast is approved by the Irish Tourist Board. We offer a very varied menu to help you start your day well and everything is cooked on our Aga cooker. Breakfast includes traditional home made brown bread - made here on the premises. We are only a stone's throw from Fota Wildlife Park - you can get there in ten minutes by train which is a short walk from SeafieldMidleton - home of Jameson and Paddy Whiskey is only 8 miles away from Queenstown, you may like to spend some time visiting the Heritage Centre and learning about distilling in Ireland. Haulbowline Island, is across the river from Seafield B&B and is the headquarters of the Irish Navy. All naval ships berth here and regularly return the salute of passing ships by lowering their flags.</p> <p>We provide really great accommodation. If you have an interest in the Titanic then you must really come to visit this historic town. The Lusitania victims are buried in the old cemetery close to the town, and the Angel of Peace monument, which commemorates them, is situated in the centre of Queenstown. St. Colman's Cathedral is another interesting place and is famous for its carillon - the biggest in Europe and the setting for the World Conference of Carilloneurs in 2002. </p> <p>Cobh is a town with a marvellous Heritage Centre - depicting the story of the famine and mass emigration to America, Australia and New Zealand. A cead mile failte awaits all at Queenstown. A regatta is held yearly in the month of August and always culminates with a spectacular display of fireworks - hundreds of people gather on land and on the sea in boats and craft of all kinds to view this event. </p> <h1>Cycling, fishing, sailing</h1> <p>Cycling and bicycle hire are also available. Birdwatching is another hobby, which you can develop here, as there are many different species of our feathered friends. Nearby Cuskinny, is a wildlife sanctuary and several types of ducks and waders can be found here. Fishing and angling are very popular sports in the area. Competitions are held regularly and it is possible to organize boat trips to cater for these activities. Mackerel fishing is especially popular in late summer. Herring is plentiful and trawlers offload their catch on the quayside. Off shore fishing and angling, is enjoyed by many tourists at Queenstown and accommodation, boat hire and bait can all be organized by the proprietors of Seafield Bed and Breakfast. Hospitality is to the forefront in the Republic of Ireland and nowhere is that more evident than here in the South of the country. Travel to other towns in east and west Cork is not a problem, as the cross-river ferry and good road and rail network make it easy. </p> <h1>Cork Airport</h1> <p>Cobh or Queenstown as it was formerly known is also close to Cork Airport where one can rent a car to take you on the holiday of a lifetime in the Republic of Ireland. Here, you will experience a cead mile failte - and in case you don't know what that means - it's Irish for "a hundred thousand welcomes". You can then order a Guinness while you admire the forty shades of green. Of course, an Irish Coffee - made with whiskey, coffee, brown sugar and topped with whipped cream has to be tasted to be appreciated. </p> </body>
