My sister and I had a wonderful stay in Bean and Irene's cute chalet, on one of our many visits to West Cork. Bean was always on hand if we needed him but totally respected our privacy. He is a lovely and talented guy. The chalet has many beautiful wooden features crafted by Bean, which make it a quirky and unique place to stay. We slept really well in the comfortable loft beds and the views of Bantry Bay are wonderful. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and hikes, the chalet is only a short 5 min drive to Bantry. Which has plenty of shops and restaurants. We particularly like O'Conners on the square and Arundels on the pier at Akhista. Bean and Irene are the most outstanding super hosts I have come across, they have the balance between host and guest spot on, and the cabin reflects their lovely energy. We would certainly love to return.
