Wow! What a delightful house with beautiful sea views. House was spotless, tastefully furnished with super comfy beds. Every possible gadget or utensil is supplied in the well equipped kitchen.
Rita & Neil are wonderful hosts, very friendly & a font of knowledge regarding the area. Sheep's Head peninsula is spectacular - an unspoilt paradise especially for walkers. Ahakista is perfectly situated for touring to Bantry & beyond. We took the Dursey Cable car & travelled to Mizen Head in the opposite direction. However, our favourite days were spent on the peninsula itself. A short trek to the lighthouse at the end of Sheep's Head is a 'must', stunning views take your breadth away. We stopped at the Old Creamery in Kilcrohane on the way back for scrummy food. Minutes walk from our house in Ahakista is a pub 'Arundels' serving delicious food right opposite the pier. They offered to drive us home too!
A week really isn't enough to explore this area and we tried to extend our stay but unfortunately it was booked out
