The Mill’s History

Before it was a place to stay

Corcreggan Mill is a detached five-bay, three-storey former corn mill, built c.1789 by the Stewart family, with the remains of its metal waterwheel on the west gable and a mill pond to the south. It was a toll mill, milling grain for a wide area, and remained in use until 1965. John McVeigh was the miller here in 1881 and 1894.

Becoming Corcreggan Mill

Brendan Rohan established Corcreggan Mill as ‘a quirky and fun place to stay’ in 1989, and it has been welcoming guests ever since.

The railway carriages

The site keeps a former railway platform with a mono-pitched roof on cast-iron columns, and a restored 150-year-old mahogany railway carriage, rebuilt in the late 1990s, which now sleeps up to 16 guests in five cabins, with the Railway Lounge beside it. A converted fishing trawler on the site sleeps guests too.
