Longueville is situated on an eminence overlooking the Blackwater Valley - the Irish Rhine. A beautiful Georgian Mansion built about 1720 and situated in the centre of a 500 acre wooded estate. The House, architecturally descriptive of the late Georgian period, features a handsome hall-door, 2 beautifully decorated, plastered ceilings, in the dining room a white marble Adams mantelpiece featuring a relief of Neptune in his chariot , the numerous, now rare inlaid mahogany doors with lovely brass locks, and the impressive main staircase, which rises to the full height of the House and is of a most unusual design.
From the doorstep of Longueville there is a wonderful view of the most beautiful of all Irish river valleys. The viewer looking from the house through an opening in the oak trees (planted in the formation of the English and French battle lines at Waterloo) takes in historic Domineen Castle precipitatively perched on Dover-like cliffs overlooking the stately river.
The Presidents' Restaurant is truly the heart of Longueville, where guests partake of the fresh produce from the Estate's farm, gardens and river lovingly prepared and presented by Chef and owner William O'Callaghan.
The ambiance and privacy of this 18th Century Georgian Heritage House, the beautifully decorated bedrooms, the excellent food and wine cellar combine to make Longueville House a much sought after venue for prestigious business meetings, training sessions and incentive schemes. The O'Callaghan family and their team of staff provide a highly personalised service and a working environment with no distractions.

Michael (chair of the West Cork branch of Bird Watch Ireland) has years of experience guiding groups of various experience levels including newcomers. He is an absolute mine of information and has an uncanny ability to identify birds by their call alone and will be on hand to help with the birds, their songs and calls, and also information on their habits and habitats. Michael has experience gained from birding in most European countries and will be available not only leading the chorus walk but also afterwards over a cup of coffee where we can wind down after our early start with a questions and answers session. Discussion is enthusiastically encouraged and opportunity given to reflect on the chorus and other birding topics.
