Cork's Roberts Cove Inn for sale for €500,000

The long-established Roberts Cove Inn is located between Carrigaline and Kinsale.

A beach-fronting restaurant, bar and accommodation property mix is up for sale for an even €500,000 along a scenic stretch of South Cork’s coastline.

Set to change hands is the long-established Roberts Cove Inn, between Carrigaline and Kinsale, which includes a three-storey, five-bedroomed property with commercial kitchen bar, walled courtyard/beer garden, and three-storey character-filled stand-alone two-bed, slate hung tower house with independent access.

The mix by Minane Bridge is on offer via Carrigaline estate agent and local resident Michael Pigott, who says it’s an exceptional stretch of coastline with safe bathing and boating cove, has a 66-stand mobile home park home plus full-time and holiday home residents, within easy reach of Fountainstown. He notes the parish coastline runs for 20kms, from Oysterhaven which is just east of Kinsale and the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, to Fountainstown, near Carrigaline and yachting mecca Crosshaven within Cork harbour.

The Roberts Cove Inn last changed hands back in 2015 and has been leased to two different operators in the interim by its owner who is now looking to sell it on.

Mr Pigott says the residential licensed property gets a very good seasonal and ‘destination’ trade and would be ideal for an owner-operator with the chance for a multi-source income stream, including holiday let/accommodation, food and beverage, functions and family events and celebrations, catering for day trippers and more.

It has mains services and biocycle, broadband. The five bedrooms are all en suite, the bar/restaurant is divided in two sections, decorated on a nautical theme and the cove has a safe sandy beach and slipway, with cliff walks and other beaches as nearby attractions: Minane Bridge is five km away, Carrigaline is 12kms and Cork city is 25kms.

“The well-known Roberts Cove Inn presents an incredible opportunity for its new owners,” says Mr Pigott, adding that its accommodation and configuration “will allow its new owners explore different avenues of residing, entertaining and generating income.”

Meanwhile, further west along the Cork coastline, the well-known Mountain House bar and 60-seat restaurant at Ardfield village is understood to have several offers under active consideration with owner builder Patrick O’Sullivan, after going to market in 2023 and which closed for trade on New Year’s Eve.

Agents Hodnett Forde had been guiding €500,000 for the 60-seat Mountain House seafood and steakhouse restaurant/traditional bar with overhead accommodation, five miles from Clonakilty, and near numerous beaches. The offers, subject to various conditions, are from interested parties with local and wider connections to the area on the Wild Atlantic Way.
