How to find us, travelling from Bantry

Take the N71 south out of Bantry town centre, and travel about 5 kilometres to the junction of the R586 to Drimoleague and Dunmanway. Bear left onto the R586 and travel on a relatively straight and even road through Drimoleague and on to Dunmanway a distance of 20 kilometres or more.

Once into Dunmanway follow the R599 signpost to Clonakilty. This section of road, some 15 kilometres or more, requires concentration from the driver, as it tends to twist and turn at every opportunity. It eventually deposits one onto the main N71 about 4 kilometres west of Clonakilty.

(The advantage of this particular route is less traffic in summer, and faster, despite the bends mentioned. If you would prefer a more scenic and coastal route, ignore the R586 turnoff and travel directly to Skibbereen.)

Travel off the R599 left to a filling station some 2 kilometres distant on your right on the N71, and follow the diversion sign around the south side of the town and signposted Bandon and Cork City.

Travel all the way to a traffic roundabout on the east side of town, some 2 to 3 kilometres, and turn right here for Ring. Travel alongside the estuary some 3 kilometres to a pub called Kitty Macs, and take the road bearing around to the left to a crossroads, turn right.

Travel to another crossroads and turn right once again. Travel on some 5 kilometres to Lislevane and Barryroe. Pass through the Barryroe Supermarket and Creamery complex
And immediately past the last building on the right, turn right to Butlerstown. Drive about 1 kilometre and turn right again into the drive of Butlerstown House.
