Bean and Irene's is better than the photos, and that's pretty tough to do. Everyone in town seems to know the characters of Bean & Irene, and for good reason - they're lovely and fun and accommodating.
I like to say that I came for the disco ball but stayed for the animal friends. I nearly passed out when Bean told us about all the endangered animals we could see if we wanted to around the property! The dogs are the most well-trained, sweet but not jumping up and down and mauling you dogs. I nearly wanted to steal them!
The cabin is absolutely gorgeous - besides the disco balls, comfiest couch in the world, binoculars, and telescope to play with, there's some really interesting woodwork around the place which I particularly enjoyed. And the VIEW. It's honestly unbeatable. We spent most our time honestly just staring out the windows.
Everything about this place was wonderful - even the soap smelled amazing! Definitely take a chance here if you're looking for a weekend trip to Bantry :)
