The Meadows is a warm and comfortable slice of heaven on the Sheepshead peninsula. Every detail is thoughtfully covered (heating, wifi access, safety, guides to local points of interest/restaurants) and Mary is super prompt should you have any questions. The house itself is modern, warm, well appointed, and has one of the most amazing views of crashing waves against picturesque cliffs below. We watched these waves and sunsets over the Beara peninsula for hours, on clear days and drizzly ones too, while drinking tea or reading. The swinging bench outside is a nice touch! We also enjoyed watching the herd of cows nearby - particularly the playful baby calves.

SKY TV had excellent reception for TV viewing at night. The location is superb especially if you want to try out the Sheepshead Loop trail which is very nearby or head into Kilcrohane for a tasty coffee or dinner at the Creamery.

Staying here was like staying at a nicer version of my own house - plenty of clean towels, cookware, a toaster for breakfast, superb hot water, a kettle, washer/dryer with laundry detergent for those heavy hiking days. (A separate note on hot water: our first visit to the Sheepshead area a few years ago was at a charming cottage with terrible hot water (i.e it was lukewarm to cold) so I cannot emphasize how important this is here!)

We loved our stay here and look forward to our return!
