We stayed at the Turf Cottage for a whole week and used it as a hub for day trips on Beara Peninsula. It‘s only a short drive from Castletownbere which offers opportunities for grocery shopping and dining out. There‘s a loop walk around Dunbere Castle with nice views of the bay and Bere Island.
The cottage itself is located on a farm with sheep and cows (it’s not a cock that wakes you in the morning). The hosts were really lovely, bringing us scones and giving us excellent recommendations. We felt right at home and enjoyed the evenings in front of the fire after a day out on a trail.
