The Nest is situated in a stunning spot on a hill overlooking a great beach (for walking or surfing, not safe for swimming) and there are lots of other beaches and countryside to explore nearby.
We loved the decking and lounging in the rocking chair and bean bags overlooking the sea in the evening, very chilled place. The Nest itself is really well designed for quite a small place and has everything that a couple or small family could need.
Spencer (Kate’s husband) met us at check in at his cafe 1 minute away and was also very helpful during our stay when we needed towels, bed linen etc. We had planned to eat in the cafe the evening we arrived as the pizzas looked great when we popped into the cafe at Easter but unfortunately there was a private function that evening and the cafe is then closed on Monday and Tuesdays. This was not a big issue but just meant that we had to drive somewhere rather than wandering down to the beach.
I would definitely recommend that anyone who stays has a car as public transport and taxis are not widely available. A car is also a good way of exploring the countryside and villages that are a little further away like Ardfield, Glandore, Rosscarbery etc. Good restaurants in Glandore and some lovely pubs, Pilgrims and Nolan’s are definitely worth checking out.
Thanks Spencer and Kate for your hospitality and we hope to be back again soon. We’d recommend it to any friends visiting the area!
