The Old mill was brought back to life by the explorer and writer Tim Severin in 1990. He lived in Lodge 1 for many years and wrote numerous novels from his office across the way. It offers simple living with the Irish warmth of a woodburning stove, a perfect place to share a drink with friends or observe the wildlife in the meander down by the river.
For those who like to fish, you have direct access to the Argideen River, rated one of the best sea trout rivers in south-west Ireland, a great place to test your skill with a fly. Licenses for the river can be provided as well as details for national licenses to cover your stay.
The Wild Atlantic Way can be reached in a couple of minutes with a trip into Timoleague and it's famous Abbey, from there you can visit some of Irelands spectacular beaches or soak up some live music in Cloakilty or Kinsale.
