Careysville House & Fishery

Careysville House is an exclusive, fine Georgian Country House providing guests with luxury accommodation in a beautiful setting overlooking the River Blackwater. Residents can fish on one of the best salmon runs in Ireland. The Blackwater has excellent runs of Spring Salmon with Fly and Bait Fishing readily available.

The House is late Georgian, built on the site of Ballymacpatrick Castle, overlooking the River Blackwater. It is about 3 miles downstream from Fermoy and situated in scenic, rolling countryside with wonderful views along the Blackwater Valley. Cork is only 25 miles away with excellent shopping facilities and an opera house. Cork Airport takes about 40 minutes by car and has several flights a day to and from London.

The accommodation includes a spacious entrance hall, drawing room, dining room and study. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms and one single room. The basement has an excellent drying room and a deep-freeze for guests to store their catch. Guests may bring their own wines.

Careysville House is fully staffed and meals are served during the salmon fishing season. At other times Careysville House may be taken on a self-catering basis. Guests that do not want to fish have plenty to see or do in the area. Amongst the highlights are the National Monument at Cashel, golf courses and horse racing at Mallow, Thurles, Clonmel and Tipperary.
