I stayed in Laraine and Mick's place for 5 nights with my boyfriend. The house was perfect for us, well stocked kitchen, lots of hot water, very comfy bed etc. What makes the house really stand out is the location. The view is amazing and it makes a great base for hiking and cycling. There were some extra touches that made our stay more comfortable too.
It was our first visit to the Beara Peninsula and we were so impressed. We recommend a visit to Dursey for a walk to the signal tower (bring your own water etc. no shops on the island); sunset from Dursey or Allihies; views and tasty treats in Dzogchen Beara; swim or walk on Ballydonegan Beach; the calamari in the Eyeries Rocks cafe and a swim from the pier; and of course Healy Pass.
