From our house it is a short walk into Midleton town centre. Midleton has a number of fine restaurants, cafes and bars and as it is a large town it has other amenities such as supermarkets, cinema, hotel with pool and train line (20 minute walk from house) to Cork city centre. Also close by are a number of safe blue flag beaches such as Garryvoe, Inch Strand and Youghal. For those days where the weather may not suit a trip to the beach Trabolgan holiday village is an excellent swimming alternative. Also for those of you who like a scenic walk, within a short drive of the house are Ballycotton cliff walk, Rostellan seafront walk and Fota Gardens.
