An ex-church or nunnery in a small town near Cork from McCarthy’s Bar??
Posted on December 5, 2005, by Conor O'Neill, under Friends, Ireland.
An old old friend (bet ya like that description Jane) is living over in Frankfurt. Her hubby has just finished McCarthy’s Bar and is dying to visit the place mentioned in the book which he describes as an ex-church or nunnery in a small town near Cork, on the coast, known for it’s good cuisine.
I have no idea where he is talking about and Googling only brings up the actual McCarthy’s Bar in Castletownbere. Can the combined wisdom of the blogosphere help a Greek abroad? Just post your responses as a comment. Thanks.

Thanks Kevin. The funny thing is that I was in The Lettercollum Kitchen Project shop this morning.
Jane’s husband will be thrilled to know where it is now - and it is only a few miles down the road from us!

Hi Conor,
The place referred to in the book is Lettercollum House in Timoleague.
Unfortunately this is no longer in business but they have a shop in Clonakilty.
