Description
Standing at the head of Cashel Bay is a mid century gracious country house owned and run by the McEvilly family as a Grade A hotel. The gardens are informal country house style gardens based on a number of woodland glades. The garden contains a profusion of roses both old fashioned and modern and many herbaceous plants with naturalised day lillies, astilbes and primulas also gunnera, camelias, magnolias, azaleas, eucryphia and rhododedrons. The walled garden (now known as the secret garden) was an orchard where in 1919 Jack OMara felled the apple trees and used the walled garden as an area in which to plant many rare trees and shrubs which he collected from all over the world.
