Whiddy Island school house was built from the old Island school house where Tim the owner and manager himself went to school. The accommodation comprises a double, family and quad room with a communal kitchen and washroom area, all located in the purpose built extension.
Breakfast is a self service system and there is the possibility of preparing simple evening meals with microwave ovens, electric grills and toasting machines available. There is also an outside BBQ area available.
Tim grew up on the island and runs the passenger ferry all year around. He has an enormous amount of knowledge of the island and is available for any information you may need. The school house closed down a good few years ago and was falling into ruin, this project has now given it a new lease of life.
Whiddy Island is only a ten minute ferry ride from Bantry and is included in your stay at the School House.
