Thomas Eccles was leasing this property from the Earl of Bantry's estate in 1852 when it was valued at £21+. It is labelled on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey Map as Glengarriff Hotel but is better known now as the Eccles Hotel, one of Ireland's oldest hotels. In April 1875, following the death of Thomas Eccles, the hotel was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court. A detailed history is available at www.eccleshotel.com.
