Bella Vista - Free Boats!

#1 Post by JimC »

Might be interesting to anybody heading to Cork to sample the fishing:
I am told that the Bella Vista Hotel in Cobh is offering free boat hire to people who are staying in the hotel.
Perfect for people who want to practice for the Small Boats Festival :wink:

Wow :shock: This is a cracking deal guys... Give this some serious thought, book a few nights and sample the great fishing Cork Harbour and the surrounding area has to offer. There are a nice few pubs in Cobh as well 8)

Was speaking with Kevin from the BV Hotel.
He tells me the offer is: B&B + Evening Meal + Self Drive Boat = €50-00 pps :shock:
Obviously petrol is extra and there are some T&C's - A savage deal!

The boats are Warrior 175's so four at a push - three in comfort.
