Boolakeel House is a very special place to stay, such a great find! The house itself is a beautiful, rambling retreat in the countryside, a stone’s throw from Ballinskelligs. The space provided to you makes it feel like your own country manor, with three bedrooms, all en suite, a bright living room overlooking the water, a snooker room for the kids, and a breakfast/dining room with its own snug area in front of the fire. The kitchen is a beautiful wooden bar area with microwave, coffee machine and fridge, with plates, glasses etc. We were a family of 4 and everyone managed to find their own little corner to cozy into for some quiet time. Peta has little touches scattered throughout, such as freshly picked flowers on the breakfast table, wall art, books for us to read through in the library, and overall just a really warm, homey feel to the place. The best part, however, was definitely the outside. The grounds are beautiful, with roaming manicured gardens to explore and your own slice of heaven on the private beach. We saw seals come in at high tide, one of the many highlights! My son loved the two donkeys, Poppy and Parsnip, and Peta’s two dogs, Faro and Cassia, were great company on the walks and swims. Peta was a perfect host, from the first messages exchanged, through to her warm welcome and hospitality throughout. Every morning we found a delicious breakfast waiting for us - the perfect start to our days! Everything about our stay here was perfect, there is nothing I would change. Looking forward to going back again!
