This unique and unusual place is a gem!! Trish is so welcoming and delightful It is a great place to stay if:
1. You like to walk, explore and go birding (woods and shore birds)
2. You like local music (Leap is a small town but both Connolly's and The Leap Inn have live music). We got to chat with the band as they were staying here too.
3. You want to do genealogy research at the Skibbereen Heritage Center (Margaret is a fantastic resource!)
4. You want to explore ancient ring forts and stone circles, gorgeous beaches, Mizen Head and lovely towns.
5. You want to try and go whale watching (has to be calm seas...a rare thing)
6. You read the details and know it's not a fancy 5 star hotel. The description is accurate.
7. You want to support their mission to help restore Ireland's woods, preserve precious ecosystems, and mitigate climate change.
8. You like the quiet and peace of being in the countryside. (The building is big and they spread the guests out so it was absolutely quiet for sleeping).
We loved it and would like to return with family and maybe even our students.
