Deebert House in Medieval Kilmallock Co. Limerick

Travel Talk with Ed Finn in association with Click and Go Holidays

Saturday, 23 November 2024 - 12 minutes

On Today's Travel Talk we chat with Margaret O' Sullivan, owner of Deebert House in the historic town of Kilmallock in South East Limerick.  Originally built in 1807 and one of only five mills on the river Lúbagh and later a creamery, today the O’ Sullivan family see it as a duty to continue the traditions of quality and care cemented in its DNA for generations.  Sold to the Kilmallock Co-Operative Creamery in the late 1920’s the site continued production until sadly closing its gates for the last time in the 1950’s. In the 1970’s Ben O’Sullivan who was a cheese maker moved into Deebert House with his wife Anne and Family and restored the house it to its former glory. In 1980 Anne began welcoming guests to her Bed and Breakfast. In 2000 the O’ Sullivan’s bought the old mill building. With the area saved from complete dereliction and collapse the main mill building with many original and historically irreplaceable features have been carefully restored by the O’ Sullivan Family and opened as Deebert House Hotel in 2007.
