Overview

This gracious Edwardian mansion overlooks Bantry Bay and the ocean, often called the Cape Riviera. Despite its cliffside location, the terraced gardens are expansive, with a large pool and art gallery. With just 13 rooms, it feels very much a luxurious private house rather than a hotel, featuring antiques and original architectural detailing, with accent colours and contemporary textiles infusing the classic structure with a more glamorous and au courant feel. Given enough warning, the kitchen can create an entirely bespoke dining experience and breakfast is a predictably marvellous buffet spread.
