Mountain Retreat situated amongst the ruins of the old miners village

Mountain Retreat situated amongst the ruins of the old miners village

10/10 Excellent
"This place was fantastic! The house itself was fabulous, the fireplace was a really lovely and romantic touch (great for honeymoon), and the surrounding ruins are really amazing to walk through, definitely check out the mountain mine shaft trail as well. The whole area is just stunning.The location is great too, just a very short ways into Allihies proper, which is a really charming village with great fish and chips and a couple really nice pubs. If you have to chance to listen to a live music night there I highly, highly recommend it. The museum is also a must see, especially since much of the history there happened on the property you’re staying on. Our host was also excellent! She was very accommodating of our arriving quite late into the evening, and had great recommendations. We absolutely loved our time here!"

Romantic Castle at Roaring Water Bay in West Cork - Weekend special available

10/10 Excellent
"Four of us (all adults) stayed here for a week in June/July and it was a very special experience. Stephanie's renovation and design work on the property is impressive, and with the exception of a full-sized oven and laundry facilities, you have everything you need there to be comfortable. The castle is beautifully situated high above Roaringwater Bay, and it's an easy drive to all sorts of wonderful West Cork sites. The stairs are tricky, so it's not really a place for kids or anyone with physical challenges, but otherwise I would very highly recommend this to any adventurous travellers looking for a unique stay."
