Our stay at the Four Directions Cottage , even though it was lamentably only for one night, was one of our very favorite on our 20 day trip to Scotland and Ireland! The cottage, gorgeously restored, is nestled above Bantry Bay and below the atmospheric Hungary Hill- such a unique experience! Light filled, spacious for our family of 3, clean and cozy in the inside, rustic yet well manicured on the outside with its own garden and yard situated in quiet privacy. The beds were comfortable-our daughter loved the loft sleeping area! So did we! We almost had to fight her for it! There are plenty of books, games, and information on every local offering you can think of, in the cottage. Fresh eggs, milk, butter, jams, bread, tea and coffee to start our morning. This is simply the most perfect place to explore all that Castletownbere and the Beara Peninsula has to offer! It literally broke my heart to leave after such a brief stay…and I am left longing to return to this idyllic place. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you, Larraine and Mick, for your warm hospitality and for the wonderful cottage experience that you have created!
