The most southerly town in Ireland, Skibbereen market town still retains its local, colourful and friendly fee. Boasting quality local produce, the inhabitants pride themselves on their bread, local meat, fresh seafood and of course the weekly country and famers' markets. Discover the many shops, restaurants and pubs, then stroll on to the fascinating West Cork Arts Centre and Skibbereen Heritage Centre. Skibbereen is not only the capital of West Cork but the centre of all tourist activities. Be as active as you like, with a superb 18-hole golf course, an indoor sports centre, game and sea angling, coarse fishing, walking and cycling, scuba diving and sites of international archaeological interest. Or relax with dolphin and whale watching opportunities available in the area and an array of beaches and rugged cliffs - a walker's paradise in an unspoilt area of West Cork. It's an ideal base to visit Leap and Rosscarbery, set in breathtaking surroundings overlooking the rugged West Cork coastline, not to mention Ballydehob, Baltimore, Glandore, Schull and the market town of Bantry. Nearby Kinsale is one of Ireland's most picturesque, resorts - renowned as the "gourmet capital of Ireland" and famous for its food, friendliness and traditional flavour.

Previous visitors' comments about Down River House :
The house was modern and comfortable. The view was spectacular. Every morning I sat at the kitchen table and looked out at the islands scattered in the mouth of the Ilen river.
