Oriel House (aka Oriel Court)is a hotel in the west end of the town of Ballincollig, County Cork, Ireland. It was built shortly after the Ballincollig Gunpowder Mills which was built in 1794 by Charles Henry Leslie. In 1983 it was officially opened as a hotel by William and Angela Shanahan. The hotel recently redeveloped and opened in late 2006 after being bought in 2003 by Cork Luxury Hotels.
Famous quotes containing the word house:
“The house of my body has spoken
often as you rebuild me like blocks,
and promise to come visit
when I’m finally adjusted on safe land,
and am livable, joist to joist
with storm windows and screens ...”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
