We stayed in Angela's Airbnb recently for a week and despite the cancellation of the Chamber Music Festival it was one of the best breaks we've had in a long time. It's a 10 minute walk [or less] into Bantry and as it's downhill, reasonable fitness is required for the return stroll back home. If you exit the front gate and turn right, uphill, you will arrive at a breathtaking viewing point from which Bantry Bay and the full length of the Beara Peninsula from Cnoc Buí to Dursey Island can be seen.
The premises is small but very clean, comfortable and provides access to the owners sheltered garden which includes an enchanting little Fairy Garden.
The highlight of our stay was meeting with our host, Angela. If Airbnb were to initiate a title system for their hosts, Angela would be crowned Airbnb Queen In Perpetuity! She was charming, colourful and incredibly helpful. 5 Stars aren't enough!
