Maranatha County House is a lovely Victorian mansion situated high on a hill between the villages of Blarney and Tower. This is an old family home that's been converted into a B&B. Spacious and romantic themed bedrooms with large, ornate beds, sometimes four-poster. Rooms include the Claddagh Room, Rose Room, Regal Suite and Honeymoon Suite, Emerald and Lilac. This house is set on private well-manicured grounds surrounded by large grassy lawns and indiginous trees and wild rhododendrons. Wild woodland creatures, such and rabbits and fox, are often seen here in the Spring. Meals are all prepared with fresh local ingredients.

There is a real sense of the Victorian era with the whole atmosphere created for guests with a great collection of period antiques and the beautiful handmade soft furnishings. A grand sweeping staircase leads guests to their rooms. The old parlor is filled with antiques around the fire, and the original gilt mirror over the hearth. Excellent hospitality, freshly prepared meals, and theme rooms make a stay here memorable.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon the end of August and had a lovely time. Her rooms and house are absolutely beautiful and she is a great host. She has two big dogs but they are friendly so don't be scared. 5 min from Blarney castle!
