Our stay at Bean and Irene's was by far the favorite of our 10 day trip in Ireland. Their place was comfortable, creatively decorated, and had a fabulous view of the bay and mountains. The close proximity to Bantry and the Sheep's Head Peninsula was also a plus. Bean's advice to us about places to hike on the Peninsula were very much appreciated. And I absolutely fell in love with their dog who served as a dog-away-from-home substitute when we hiked to the nearby beach. The only disappointment was that I didn't have a chance to attend one of Irene's yoga classes. I guess that will have to wait for our next visit... :)
