    We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. The view was spectacular. The area is rugged and isolated which made it perfect for getting away from everything.

    Absolutely AMAZING!!!!
    Family and friends absolutely loved our time at this property. You simply cannot find a more comfortable and beautiful home! There were 6 of us and we never felt crowded. 3.5 baths were awesome. The view on the water on one side and hills on the opposite side. It is remote and you will definitely need a car. If you aren't intimidated by driving narrow roads you'll be just fine. It's not a very populated area in Sheepshead, which I love! It's quiet and has a charm all its own. I would definitely look at staying here again God willing on my next trip to Ireland!!
