About the home
Wonderfully designed, this spacious dormer lodge enjoys an elevated position at the entrance to Glenville village. Newly built in traditional style it replaces the original gate lodge to Glenville Manor House, dating back to 1750. The Manor House owned by the late Mark Bence Jones, well know and respected author of Twilight of the Ascendancy, Clive of India, Guide to Irish Country Houses to name a few.
The lodge is unique in design, the sitting room has a galleried landing and high ceiling, together with the antique fireplace and country furnishings give it a wow factor. It is the perfect setting for lazy days and relaxing evening around the fireplace. The patio with stone BBQ is ideal for al fresco dining with beautiful views over the garden and calming sound of the river Bride flowing nearby.

The County Cork region
Glenville Village is ideally located for touring Cork County and southern Ireland. As Glenville is a heritage village there are endless walks and stunning scenery on your door step.
The village is traditional in style with pretty village houses, mini-market, hairdresser, Catholic & Protestant Church and a local pub with live traditional Irish music a few nights weekly. Don't miss Thursday nights "Trad Session" where locals come together to enjoy playing and singing traditional Irish music, a night of "craic" is gauranteed.
Within a mile lies Ardrou Forest & the river Bride, a tributary of the Blackwater which is well known for trout and salmon fishing. Horse riding is also a popular pass time. For those looking for a little more, try out the Squash & Handball Courts in the village.
Doon Peter Holy Well is just a few miles from the village where mass is celebrated for the festival of St John.
It is reputed to be one of the oldest wells in Ireland. Both the Mass Rock & the Famine Walk are part of Glenville history and heritage.
Cork city is a mere 15 minutes drive, the second largest city in Ireland outside the capital Dublin. Although a city, Cork is compact and a pleasure to wander around its fine shops, cobbled streets, theatres, art galleries and wonderful restaurants and bars.
Day trips are a must as there is so much to see and do within a short drive.

Guestbook for Fable Lodge
We're finally back home and recovering from our trip. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay at Fable Lodge especially the open fireplace which we don't normally get to enjoy. We will be back. Louise Australia Mar 09
Just a short note to say Thank you for a wonderful week at Fable Lodge, the cottage is delightful and so cosy. We enjoyed the sun room every morning and a blazing fire in the evening. We would love to visit again. Gladys-Wales Mar 09
Hi Sharon
how is life? Your mum and dad helped us when we required it and were very nice . The cottage was lovely and we all enjoyed our time there. The children's favourite was Blarney castle but mine was Cobh. I would certainly recommend the cottage to anyone looking to go there.
Thanks again
Mary (From UK May 2011)
