House name	Description
Glengarriff Lodge	Held in fee by the Earl of Bantry's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9. The house was a specially designed hunting lodge for the Bantry estate. It remained in the estate's ownership until the 1940s. Though badly damaged by fire in the 1960s it has been completely renovated and now serves as luxury self-catering accommodation. See www.glengarriff-lodge.com.
Reenmeen Cottage	Leased by Robert White from the Bantry estate in 1852 when it was valued at £11+. Named as Reenmeen Cottage by Lewis who notes it as the seat of R. White in 1837. Buildings still exist at the site. A house named Glengarriff Cottage (V939564) appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Map in this townland but is not visible on the later 25-inch map.
Glengarriff or Eccles Hotel	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.
Ardnagashel House	Samuel Hutchins held this property in fee in 1852 when it was valued at almost £23. Lewis noted it as the seat of A. Hutchins in 1837. In 1906 it was owned by Samuel N. Hutchins and valued at £30. The original house has been demolished and the stableyard converted to self-catering accommodation. The Irish Tourist Association survey of the 1940s mentions that the grounds contained some fine trees including a cork tree which came originally from Kew Gardens.
Coomhola Lodge (Sans Souci) (Bantry)	Occupied by Richard E. White at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8. It is labelled as Sans Souci on the 1st edition Ordnance Map but as Coomhola Lodge on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Local sources indicate it was formerly a hunting lodge for the Bantry Estate. It is still extant.
