The chalet was the perfect place to get-away from it all and enjoy nature, with absolutely beautiful views! It's a little slice of paradise. I stayed for 6 nights so really got a feel for the area, and there are many day trips to take using this as a home base. Hiking on the Sheep's Head, ferry boat to Whiddy or Garnish Islands, walking to the private beach or going into Bantry for the live music...it's all nearby and all beautiful.
Bean & Irene were perfect hosts, even inviting me in for dinner when I first arrived! They have a lovely family and I really bonded with Goggy the dog. They're also great musicians and it was fun going into town to see them perform. The chalet was very comfy and homey, I slept very well in the loft bed. The entire experience could not have been better, and I can't wait to go back!
