Summary: Beautiful, clean and spacious property with lovely views of the sea, a private beach, large garden etc. we didn’t use the pool or sauna but they were there. Would have preferred a bigger oven, it’s a microwave/ oven combo, but we managed alright. A lovely spot.

Summary: A fantastic experience. The beach for the children was a homerun! They spent all day hunting for lipids, mussels & clams. The sauna was going was so refreshing after a dip in the pool and bay. A daily ritual. Seal cottage was lovely and most comfortable. Tomas and Margrite(sp) were very helpful. We were there for over 3 weeks and hated to leave! We will return. 5 stars!

Summary: We stayed at the cottage for a week and loved the remote, country atmosphere. we were close to town and a few restaurants but based on the time of year a lot was closed. The cottage was amazing and comfortably fit all 8 of us. the owner and caretaker were/ are amazing and checked in regularly to assure we had what was needed and to provide local advice and adventures. We will be back!

Summary: We have never had so much personal attention from our host via Tomas when checking in and during our stay. Need information about the area? Just ask Tomas, he knows EVERYTHING!!! The house and property exceeded our expectations on all levels. We had a lovely time exploring local sites and dining in town several times. Dinner at Murphys in town was a perfect cap to our week in Castletownbere. The grocery store in town was more than adequate. Make sure to visit Dursey Island via the cable car and treat yourself to a snack of monkfish at the food truck located at the base of the cable car station. Just make sure to schedule some down time so you can enjoy the sauna, the solarium and this beautiful property!

Summary: We were a group of 8, aged from 50 to 93. The facilities and location were second to none, and we would have no hesitation in returning to this property. As regular renters, this property is up there with the very best. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone visiting the Beara peninsula.
