Goleen is a great spot for exploring West Cork sights such as Barleycove, Crookhaven, Three Castles Head, Mizen Head etc. All within 10 minutes drive. Denny O’Meara’s pub in the village was very welcoming and the chipper there is very good. We also had excellent breakfast at Heron’s Cove with great views. Sherri was very responsive to any requests or questions and the house is very comfortable with good facilities and ideally placed in the village.
