The Shearwater Chalet was the perfect place for us. We intended to spend a few nights at several locations and to use them as jumping off places for our day trips. Claire was very welcoming and we loved the location. A view from the patio in the back of the ocean and a lake with the rolling green hills spotted with cows was exactly what you'd picture as an ideal scene in Ireland. It was well situated for the day trips we had planned to Kinsale, Cork and Kenmare. We also enjoyed hiking around the area a bit and visiting the neighboring towns. We would definitely recommend staying here.
