Lettercollum House once a convent retreat and acclaimed restaurant

ANOTHER chapter in Lettercollum House’s life story is up, as the large Victorian building set above the West Cork village of Timoleague comes up for re-sale.

Originally a convent retreat for a religious order, in a coastal village which has one of the most atmospheric and scenically-sited old abbeys in the country, it has been secularised in recent ownerships.

It ran for many years as an acclaimed restaurant and guest house, with cookery and art courses as an adjunct back-bone business.
