The Beara peninsula offers breathtaking scenery in any weather. The Caha Mountains change from green to grey to purple as the day progresses, lakes and rivers flowing to Kenmare Bay in gushing torrents, and plenty of woodlands. Our climate is quite mild, which allows for a range of sub-tropical plants - there are a lovely selection about a mile away at Derreen Gardens, open to the public all year round for a gorgeous walk on the shores of Kenmare Bay.
Within a couple of miles there is Pedals & Boots, a gourmet coffee shop, and Josie's restaurant - open all year round serving the best of local produce, including the freshest seafood and meats. Three miles away is Helen's Bar, a famous seaside pub where you can enjoy a pint and some home made food sitting by the pier - mussels and chips are their speciality. Go a little further afield and you have our nearest towns: Kenmare, to the east and Castletownbere to the west. Both have their own charms, with all the fun of small shops, cafes and restaurants to explore.
If you want to chill out on your holiday, we are in easy reach of the world famous Dzogchen Beara retreat centre. They offer free guided meditations twice a day, with the most amazing 180 degree view of the ocean. If that's not your thing, you can just have tea and cake in their lovely coffee shop and soak up the atmosphere.
There are loads of lovely drives from here - the Ring of Kerry is the famous one, but the Ring of Beara shares its jaw- dropping sea views, pretty villages and local artisan foods. We are situated on the Wild Atlantic Way, the longest coastal driving route in the world, famous for unrivalled ocean views, and on the Beara Way hiking route.
We would be delighted to help you plan your trip, as we know how precious holiday time can be. Nobody wants to miss out on that special little something - whether that is a walk, a swim, a boat trip - whatever you are interested in, we can help you find it.
