 Farran
House is a large, elegant 18th century, Italianate style, Irish manor
house situated in the rolling hills of the Lee valley, overlooking the
medieval castle and abbey of Kilcrea.
It is a perfect base for exploring counties Cork and Kerry. It is situated
9 miles from Blarney, 38 miles from Killarney and 10 miles from Cork city
and airport.
The house is spectacularly set in 12 acres of mature beech woodland and
landscaped gardens. It has been carefully restored, yet retains it'soriginal
character and charm. All four guestrooms have large bathrooms and beautiful
views over the surrounding countryside.
In addition to the antique furnishings throughout the house you will
also find a grand piano in the drawing room and a full size billiard table
in the billiard room.
"On entering Farran House the first thing you notice is the sense
of grandeur and warmth, brought about by abundance of light and space.
The clever design means that every room has at least one South facing
window and another window facing in a different direction.
The large rooms, high ceilings, and soft colours further enhance the effect."

it has been completely restored but in a less formal style. It is full
