Stunning hideaway - Wild Atlantic Way, Beara Peninsula, West Cork

Our house is called Domhain Eile - Gaelic for 'another world' and that's just what this is!

You will love this house which is bright and spacious with beautiful contemporary styling throughout. Most of all you will love Domhain Eile for its dramatic vistas overlooking Hungry Hill and Castletownbere, Bere Island and Ardnakinna lighthouse, the Atlantic and Bantry Bay. The photographs provide some sense of the sheer beauty of this location.

FLEXIBLE BOOKING - you can book to arrive/depart any day of the week (sometimes useful to avail of mid-week flights).

HIGH SATISFACTION RATINGS - We invite you to read the reviews of previous very happy guests - don't just take our word for it!

THE LOCALE : The rugged and unspoiled Beara Penninsula in West Cork is often described as one of the most untamed and beautiful parts of Ireland. Domhain Eile provides an opportunity to experience this lovely part of Ireland.

Our house is 1.5 miles from the fishing port of Castletownbere (well served with supermarket, restaurants and pubs) and is on the famous Beara Walking and Cycling Trail. There are good restaurants in Castletownbere serving a selection of fresh local fish with a varied menu. A bit further away in Glengarriff there are several restaurants ranging from fine dining to casual bar food. Kenmare is famous for it's gastronomic delights and is teeming with superb restaurants. The villages of Allihies and Eyeries also offer great food.

Local life: Although it is a small town, Castletownbere is the largest white fish port in Ireland and a bustling working town in a picturesque location.

Capacity: Domhain Eile has capacity for up to 9 persons so the house might suit two families. The kitchen is well-stocked to allow you to self-cater during your stay. This is a great house for children - they will love exploring it and the garden and will have lots of room to play indoors and outdoors ( toys, books and board games are included).

Golfing: There are three golf course's in the immediate area (caveat - the author is not herself a golfer!) There is Bantry Bay Golf Club which is open to visitors and is a Christy O'Connor Junior designed course and I am told there are stunning views across the bay at many of the holes. There is another golf course at Glengarriff which is a 9 hole park land course with terrific views across Glengarrif Harbour. There is a links course in Castletownbere itself and at least 2 other courses within 20 km of Glengarriff. Enjoy your golf!

OUTSIDE THE GATE - we are just metres away from the Beara Way walking route and Derreenataggart Stone Circle is a short walk down the road. Turn left or right at our gate and you will find yourself immersed in nature and gazing at panoramic views.

Dream come true
Stayed a week with my family for the last week of September. The house was perfect, with everything we needed (Cora, the owner, was also great with communicating with us, thank you!). The view from the patio on top of the hill overlooking Castletown Berehaven and Bere Island was incredibly beautiful. The house is close to town and a short drive to the West shores of Allihies and the Southern stretch down near Dursey Island. All around a perfect 10 spot, highly recommend this magical place. P.S. - Keep this place a secret, the most beautiful part of Ireland on our two-week tour was this place, Beara Peninsula is a hidden gem.

Will be returning
We arrived for a family reunion and we’re bowled over at the beauty of our view. My extended family admired it so much that I have to send them the listing! Next time there’s even a hint of another gathering we will be booking this place before the rest!

Memorable Summer Holiday
Stayed for 2 glorious weeks. Couldn’t have been happier with the house. The minute we turned into the drive that creeped down to a breathtaking view, we knew our time at Domhain Eile would be memorable. The house was spotless with everything needed for a great summer holiday. We are keen cooks and the kitchen came equipped with everything needed, also a great big table for family board games.The bedrooms were big with views from each room. Plenty of extra towels and sheets for a 2 week stay. Great WiFi for the teenagers. Castletownbere is a wonderful location , with access to lots of activities. We enjoyed them all-swimming, pier jumping, scuba diving, kayaking, horse riding, hiking, cable car to Dursey Island, Allihies beach. Star adventure centre. Bantry Boat Charters, all So easy to get to from Domhain Eile. We hope to return again in the future.

Great location for exploring
Great location for exploring Bere peninsula. Lovely view. Very well equipped house with lots of space for everyone to relax. Comfy beds! Only downside - WiFi was a bit hit and miss and you need to look after your own garbage disposal
