We are a family ages 9 - 71 staying at The Post Office. We found the house both aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. Our rooms all had extra pillows and towels with a hairdryer. The kitchen was fully equipped with absolutely everything you could need for your stay. The kids made full use of the back garden with football, there's a nice picnic bench out there too so you can spend time watching the sheep and lambs and the mist rising in the mountains. In the front you could see the sunset and a view of the ocean and of course some more sheep and lambs.
We had lots of space and used all rooms available to us. Plenty of space in the bedrooms, the lounge has sofas and a small TV with access to Netflix if you have an account. The main lounge also has a great seating area, table tennis equipment board games, a piano, and a projector with some DVDs scattered around the house.
We found Iain to be very helpful and was always around if we had any questions for him as he runs the Urhan Inn next-door-but-one.
The Beara Peninsula itself is stunning and has a lovely sand beach a short drive away in the direction of Allihies where there is a Copper Mine (we only used the cafe which was very nice with helpful staff). Castletown Beara (15 minute drive) has a large supermarket and we recommend you have a meal at Breens Lobster Rooms (they serve meat so don't be misled by the name). We had two delicious meals there with the most warm and welcoming staff and owner.
As we were visiting during the Easter holidays we took part in the local festivities (a rubber duck race and an egg hunt) with a big outdoor disco and playground for the kids at the end of it.
Recommendations - Breens, Berehaven Lodge, O'Neills in Allihies (lunch only as Sunday lunch was terrible), Urhan Inn, Thady Quills in Kenmare, Star Outdoors in Kenmare (crazy golf to kayaking),Ring of Kerry Golf Club, Dusey Island Cable Car (looks scary but we all enjoyed it, don't let other reviews put you off)
All in all we had a 10/10 stay and enjoyed our first trip to the County of Cork.
