We booked Brylands last Jan in lockdown when we craved to be close to the sea. We were looking forward to it for a long long time and it did not disappoint. The location is spectacular, no matter the weather, and typically we had all sorts of Irish Summer weather. We swam every day, and we loved people watching from the balcony on all the coming and goings in the bay, swimmers of all abilities, SUPs, yachts, kayaks, the Garnish Island ferry. No sightings of the Sea Eagle but enjoyed all the other wildlife. It was ideal for relaxing and recharging. If your feeling adventurous it is also a perfect base to explore the Beara Peninsula.
