We had such an enjoyable stay here in the Old Pub Cottage. Lauragh is a breathtaking part of the country, it really has to be seen to be believed, the property is surrounded on all sides by truly stunning scenery. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Eileen and Robert gave us a very warm welcome, a detailed guide book to the area and a hamper of essentials which was a very nice homely touch.
There was so much to see and do right on our doorstep. Particular favourite places to visit were the Derreen gardens and the Doorus loop walk, both a few kilometres from the cottage. Such a treat to swim at Cush strand and Eyeries strand surrounded by the mountains. Glanmore and Glenbeg Lakes were wonderful for short walks and a swim. And of course you couldn't beat Healy pass for a beautiful scenic drive. Kenmare is the nearest town with a good range of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The Beara peninsula is dotted with beautiful seaside villages and eateries with wonderful views. I would recommend this property to family and friends and hope to return in the future.
