With three generations of the one family, from ages 2 to 69, we had a lot of different needs and wants from a holiday home! Phoebe and Letitia's house fit the bill exactly for us. It's in a peaceful and secluded location just above Glengarriff Nature Reserve. On driving up the ferny, mossy driveway it feels like you could be entering a fairytale. The house itself, sitting on a clearing surrounded by trees, flowers and herbs, is comfortable and spacious and has a cosy family feel to it. Our stay coincided with some beautiful late summer weather, so we were able to make lots of use of the tables and chairs on the patio.
The recently fitted kitchen had pretty much everything you could need for self catering, with lots of pots and pans, two fridges, a dishwasher, electric oven and hob, microwave and every possible kitchen utensil you could possibly need, down to a nutcracker! The beds were large and comfortably firm, with good quality bed linen and pillows. For entertainment, we enjoyed a game or two of darts (and children's darts) in the games room, and also were delighted to be able to easily stream from Netflix, YouTube or RTEPlayer (the more senior members of the party couldn't miss the Rose of Tralee) to the tv. Wifi was fast and even the phone reception was decent, which is pretty rare in this area.
All in all, we loved our stay. The house makes a comfortable, relaxing base for exploring the Beara Peninsula and we'd love to stay there on our next visit to the area.
