Peaceful, isolated, restful, but still plenty to see and do if one wishes. How amazing to be able to see the night sky . It was just the two of us but 6 people would be comfortable here with plenty of space. And lots of toys, outdoor space, and games for kids too.

The house is homely and welcoming and the surroundings are awe inspiring. Excellent facilities with everything you could want and the owner Sinead is readily available if/when needed. Definitely rates as one of the best holiday homes weâve stayed in. A great location from which to explore the Beara Peninsula, which has a photo-worthy view around every corner!

The house is extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and in an absolutely spectacular part of the world. The only down side is because of the location you have to do a lot of driving. But do not let that deter you from staying here.
