Set in 2 hectares of land overlooking the bay, this magnificent Georgian country house looks like it belongs in a style magazine. Superbly appointed suites are ranged around an exquisite courtyard, and can be taken on a B&B or self-catering basis. The Loft apartment (which sleep two) has lovely sea views. Blairscove is 2km southwest of Durrus on the R591.
The restaurant (three-course dinner €65, open 6pm to 9pm Tuesday to Saturday, mid-March to October), in a chandeliered hall, gives local produce an international treatment.
