Glengarriff apartments come with sea view — and a love story

Rumour has it that this former hotel was where Cork's first Taoiseach Jack Lynch met his future wife

The Harbour View apartments are located less than a mile from the West Cork village of Glengarriff.

The marvellous setting of Harbour View apartments in Glengarriff is down to the fact that the building they are in was formerly the Glengarriff Golf Links Hotel, occupying a prime scenic spot between the nearby harbour and the golf club.

The hotel — rumoured to be where Cork’s first Taoiseach, Jack Lynch, met his future wife — ceased trading in the 1990s and the hotel complex was subsequently the subject of a planning application for residential units, including eight apartments.
