About this house rental
Located on the Wild Atlantic Way on the beautiful Ring of Beara, one of Ireland's hidden gems. This house sits at the foot of the Miskish Mountains, ideal for hillwalkers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Enjoy a morning walk up the hill to the rear of the house, or a climb up the nearby Maulin Mountain or Hungry Hill. The fantastic "Beara Way" walking trail stretches the entire peninsula and offers walks for all ages and fitness levels, as does the many looped walks on Beara.
Gleninchaquin Park, which boasts its own beauty of woodlands, grasslands, mountain lakes and waterfalls is a short hour drive towards Kenmare direction. Glengarriff Natural Reserve and Bonane Heritage Park are within an hours drive of the property.
Located down a quite roadway only 4km from the fishing port of Castletownbere and 5 minutes drive to the picturesque village of Eyeries. Enjoy a feed of fresh mussels and a pint of Guinness at McCarthys Bar Castletownbere or at Helens Pub, Kilmakillogue pier.
The area is abundant in ancient historical sites such as Kilcatherine Monolithic Tomb, The Hag of Beara, Ballycrovane Ogham Stone, Ardroom Stone Cirlcle, Derreentaggart Stone Circle, Bere Island Martello Towers, Allihies Copper Mines, Teernahillane Ring Fort or the historical Mass Rock.
If you are looking for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle this location is beautiful and peaceful, with spectacular views of the sunset and of the stary night skies. This is a great base for touring the scenic Beara Peninsula, the Healy Pass, Bere Island, Glengarriff and Kenmare. Killarney is 87Kms ( aprox. 1.5hrs drive) for an unmissable day trip or visit to Muckross Park and Gardens. Other local points worth visiting in Beara include The Dzochgen Tibetan Buddhist Retreat, Allihies Village, Dursey sound and Irelands only cablecar, Dunboy Castle, Ewe Experience and Garinish Island, or take a trip Kayaking with the seals in Adrigole.

This is one of those VRBO properties that over-delivers on the listing description. Our stay here was magnificent: the setting, the views, the journey, and all the creature comforts. Our party of five adults luxuriated in the abundance of "hang-out" spaces, allowing for solo quiet time after hours of being together in the car. Though the weather included high winds and occasional rain, this well-built structure was quiet and cozy.The kitchen is fabulously well-stocked with everything needed for staying in and cooking, with a surprisingly good Super Valu grocery store just 8 minutes away! The beds were very comfortable and the bath linens were high quality. It was nice that each room had its own bathroom.This property would be perfect for a visit anytime of year, with lovely grounds to sit outside during warm summer days and inviting couches, chairs, and even hanging baskets to curl up on to read or binge-watch a show.Our only disappoint upon arriving here was realizing that we only booked for two nights! We promised ourselves our next visit will be for at least a week.This is our first visit to Ireland. Visiting the usual things in Dublin and Cork was important, but traveling to Hillwalkers Dream took us through grand vistas and verdant valleys that explained why this land is called the Emerald Isle.

Wonderful Irish country home!It had all the needed items like comfy beds, cleanliness, well stocked supplies, etc. The home owner was very thoughtful in supplying extra’s like cozy blankets, reusable shopping bags, many spices and condiments. I think our favorite “extra” was the dog imprinted toilet paper! Oh, and we loved watching the “4 dog parade” that ambled down the lane each day. Can you tell we missed our poochies?We initially booked this home thinking it would be a great jumping off point for the ring of Kerry. Staying on Beara peninsula was amazingly beautiful and not touristy at all. Turns out, we had so much fun exploring Beara that we went to the Ring of Kerry only once. It was pretty but so, so crowded. We enjoyed the beauty of the Ring of Beara so much more. People were also really friendly!We fell in love with locally caught fried monkfish sold from area food trucks! Yum! This is a long winded way of saying we loved this home and its location very much!

Absolutely gorgeous! Large house with tastefully curated rooms and amazing views/landscape. Well maintained and sparkling clean. Can tell the owners care. The two living rooms and upstairs bedroom are overlooking a vast green valley with sheep, and the ocean (Bere Peninsula?) is able to be seen in the distance on a clear day. Hungry Hill mountainside view to the rear of the property. House felt warm and cozy with great natural lighting during the day and dramatic cozy lighting at night. Very comfortable stay. Quality bedding, towels, and linens. Bathroom had fun design characteristics and a jacuzzi tub. Large open clean kitchen, convenient laundry, several outdoor nooks to relax and enjoy the fresh air, sounds of nature and the cool breeze. Great location 5 minute drive into the center square of Castletownbere with plenty shops, restaurants, supermarket, and pubs. Also a short drive to the Eyeries and other points of interest like Dunboy Castle and Bere Island (ferry needed). Hiking trail to Hungry Hill nearby. Would definitely be back if in the area again and would definitely recommend!
