Richard and Violet Connell, together with their three children, Aran, Darryl and Inez,
enjoy welcoming people to their home and place of work. They began taking guests in 1993
following an extension to their house which originally was built in 1913.
Guests are always welcome to visit the farm, to help
with the milking or stroll along the farm. We work the land in an environmentally friendly manner and
enjoy sharing it with nature, farming within the Rural Environmental Protection Scheme.
Fortview House was awarded the National Winner Agri-Tourism Awards 1996/2000
and National Winner Royal Dublin Society (RDS) Farming and Conservation Award in 2000.
Fortview House B&B has five en-suite bedrooms, guests own sitting room with TV, tea and coffee
facilites and many books to enjoy. The bedrooms are furnished with antiques and brass end
iron beds.
Food is very important to us to source only the best of local produce and to use home
produced food. Breakfasts include freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, homemade
mueslies and yoghurt. We offer both traditional and healthy options. Freshly baked scones
and bread, homemade jams and marmalade.
Local cheeses also feature. Popular items include
hot potato cakes, smoked salmon, homemade pancakes and poached, scrambled or fried eggs
"laid by our happy lazy hens".
A five course evening meal is available by prior arrangement.
Fortview Self Catering Cottage is just over the road from Fortview House itself, at the
quiet, sunny end of our farm. It is surrounded by green fields and mountains, and on a
clear day one can see Dunmanus Bay and Castle. The cottage has natural stone walls, wild
roses, shrubs and a small herb patch.
The accommodation provides a careful blending
of old and new. It is furnished throughout with antiques, solid fuel stove, oil fired
central heating, all one needs in tableware and a kitchen with all the comforts of today.
Upstairs: One twin bedroom.
Downstairs: Kitchen, dining and sitting area, one double bedroom en suite, one twin
bedroom, bathroom, solid fuel stove, oil fired central heating.
