I have traveled all over the world and seen some beautiful places, but I have to say that Mary's place on the Sheepshead peninsula is now in my top three! It overlooks Bantry Bay and the Beara peninsula on the other side. We spent a day driving around the Ring of Beara and have never seen such natural beauty!! Absolutely the high point of our trip. All the cities, towns, castles, etc., pale in comparison to Mary's. A small mini farm, Mary has chickens and lambs, which we got to feed. Beautiful flowers and ancient buildings. Our room was comfortable and Mary fixed homemade bread. If you go, mind the narrow roads and take the drive around the Sheepshead on the "Goat Path". Not for the faint of heart. We are so glad we chose to rent a car-first couple of hours are a challenge, but we got pretty good! If I could go back to one place in Ireland, it would be Mary O'briens!!!
