This farm guesthouse was not just charming, it changed the whole pace of our Ireland vacation -- taking us off the tourist treadmill long enough to catch our breath and remember what really matters. We arrived on a rainy night with jangled nerves from a long day of traveling, and let the fire and a bottle of wine warm us.

This is far off the beaten path, and a 20 minute drive to Clonakilty on narrow roads, but the scenery is breathtaking and vibe cannot be beat.
