Hidden among the trees, Ballinderry Park looks like a perfectly proportioned Palladian doll's house at first glance. Ten years ago George and Susie Gossip bought this early Georgian building near the dramatic ruins of Kilconnell Friary and restored it lovingly.  The result is authentic, comfortable and bright, with antique furniture, pictures, china and a profusion of books, all of which makes your stay there espicially interesting and relaxing. George and Susie are very  knowledgeable about food  and wine, and delight in sharing their interests with guests. George is an accomplished cook who arranges a series of residential cookery demonstrations throughout the year. His winter game cookery weekends are legendary.

Ashley Park has a magical quality that is particularly appealing . The avenue winds along the shore, through deep woods of oak and beech, until - suddenly - you reach the Georgian house, surrounded by tall trees, with beautiful views over a private lake. Inside, the rooms are large, comfortable and well equipped. The owners, Margaret Mounsey and her father Sean, run their home in a\ relaxed and informal way, which makes it ideal for family visits.  Outside, guests like nothing more than losing themselves in the woods and gardens, or rowing around the lake and exploring the ruins of the ancient fort on the island.
