A stunning view of the Gougane Barra Chapel on the Lake with mountains in the background

Featured Hotel: Gougane Barra Hotel

Gougane Barra Hotel is a sixth-generation family owned and run hotel, spectacularly located in Cork, on the edge of a lake.

Many of our active Vagabond and easy-paced Driftwood tours visit Gougane Barra when passing through the southwest.

Relax in the bar, sample the amazing local menu, take a stroll to the spectacular forest park or visit St. Finbarr’s Oratory, a small church located on an island in the lake and enjoy the incredible peace and tranquility of this stunning gem.
