Mistover is a beautiful, tranquil and unique home in the middle of Glengarriff Nature Reserve. If you are a nature lover, this is a heavenly spot to visit - the garden is fantastic, with numerous unusual and tropical plants not usually found in Ireland. Mistover is deeply surrounded by native hardwood forest and you could spend your entire stay exploring it. There is a spectacular view of the mountains from the house. Mistover is also a perfect gateway to other nature spots nearby - particularly the Beara peninsula, the sea, the bioluminescence of Lough Hyne and Reen Pier, and the marine animal life West Cork is lucky to host, for example whales, seals, and dolphins. Staying at Mistover and experiencing this abundance of nature was exactly what I needed, I found it very restorative.
The house itself is really beautiful and interesting - it is an old treasure chest of a house with lots of quirks, you can really see the personality of the owner. It has a warm and welcoming vibe. The beds were comfortable. I loved being there.
Overall I could not recommend Mistover more highly. If you enjoy houses with character and are a nature lover, look no further. A huge thank you to Grace for being an excellent host, and to Kathleen for opening her peaceful, unique home to us.
