Words cannot describe how absolutely spectacular this place is...it's everything and more that it says on the website. I was met by the lovely Eileen and her husband Robert and welcomed into their beautiful home with a roaring fire a fresh pot of tea and all the trimmings for Christmas. It's hard yo put into words how much all the effort they put into making my stay there a little but more special it being Christmas time. They are truly a lovely couple, their warmth and openness just draws you in and immediately you know that your stay is going to be magical! The Old Pub Cottage is absolutely idilyc, it looks out onto The Healy Pass, which quite frankly is a stunning part of the country. Exploring the entire Bears peninsula is easy peasy from the cottages location with a hoast of things to see right on your door step if driving isn't your thing..beautiful walks, sprawling countryside and plenty of wildlife! The Beara is a thing of pure beauty...it gave me a feeling of coming home, of peace, of awe! I for one can highly recommend a visit and particularly a stay with Eileen and Robert...you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay guys, I'll be back when the rhododendrons are in bloom....
