My family and I spent 10 days here in Ann & Kieran's air BnB. I had not been in this part of Ireland before, so had a few reservations on the location. However they were unfounded as Ann & Kieran's home was in a perfect location for visiting and exploring from. Ideally situated 5 minutes drive away from Bantry, all amenities and necessities are catered for. As for exploring from, we were based in a great place for heading north, south, east and west, and I think we covered a good 1500 miles all in all easily.
The peninsulas are not very far away and we managed to visit them all, even including Dingle! Highly recommend exploring Beara as it is stunning, and try and get a chance to head east and visit Cobh.
The home is off any main roads, so is extremely peaceful, and although weather was not always on our side, on a clear night the Milky Way is easily seen. There is a large front garden with grass which was great for letting our boys run about, and with virtually no traffic, it made a nice change just letting them out the door to run about.
While in close proximity to Ann & Kieran's house, it has been cleverly landscaped to provide some privacy, which is appreciated as Ann & Kieran I'm sure want their own privacy too, and we never intruded on each other in any way, although they are always there for any issues. Their children are great and played with our boys when we were in and was greatly appreciated.
We would be happy to return to this location again when visiting this part of Ireland again.
