This is, hands down, the best experience I’ve had with Airbnb. Every single detail is curated to the utmost aesthetic. It’s a slower slice of life on the Beara Peninsula, and this is just a sublime place to experience it. After a day of hiking or driving over the Healy Pass or visiting local towns, this is the ultimate unwinding local.
Some specific highlights: the mossy logs for a lovely indoor fire (we were here in April so perfect for chasing off the chill). The bathtub (and plentiful hot water) was perfect for a post hike soak. The patio out the back door was really great to relax and soak up the sun. The bed was amazing, the fresh flowers and welcoming bottle of wine was astounding, the hammock was surprisingly well used, and there were local books, guides, and maps aplenty. Our hosts were a perfect mix of being available for questions and making us feel at home while giving us space.
The negative? We racked our brains and the only thing I could dredge up is that the bathroom could have heated tiles. Lol. So nothing was bad in the least bit. I will hands down recommend this place to anyone, and if I’m looking for a writer’s retreat or a space to get away from it all, this is top of mind.
Scanning back through my review, I didn’t even touch on the gardens or the friendly cats or the view of the Wild Atlantic Way…I’m probably going to write poetry about this place one day. Book here, you won’t regret it.
