Winter Break
Our 2nd visit to John,s house and it was another brilliant stay. 3 min walk to the beach, lovely woodland walks at our door step and most importanly, a lovely, homely, cosy house to come back to.

Great getaway in beautiful Beara
We've rented many Irish homes, mainly in the west, but this was the southernmost stay yet. The area is rural but with many interesting things to do, and we made the most of our time in both rain and shine. The house is large with a nice layout although we used only the ground floor, plenty of space for two. The sunroom warmed up very nicely even on the cooler days, and we ate most of our meals there. The only thing we found lacking in the house was the supply of kitchen cooking utensils as what is provided is scant and there was no ladle for the soup we made. We had so been looking forward to a peat fire but discovered that traditional peat is now, for most, banned, and the substitute fuel just wasn't the same; something to be aware of if you, like us, didn't know this. We visited the small beach at the end of the road, where we got a few shots of a seal, traversed the Healy Pass several times, visited Bantry and Bantry House, Kenmare, Glengariff, and frequented Castletownbere for both shopping and dining. As always the locals were warm and helpful. We would stay at Sandmount again and recommend to others. Thank you for a restful respite!

Fantastisch huis met een adembenemend uitzicht
We hebben genoten van de stilte en de vergezichten over de baai en Bear island vanuit de serre. Het huis ligt enorm afgelegen. We komen dolgraag terug. Ons enige probleem was de koffiemachine, die is zo verouderd en beschimmeld. We adviseren een nieuw apparaat voor koffiecups aan te schaffen.

Sea and Sky
Loved our stay at Sandmount - everything from start to finish was top notch. Ann explained the ins and outs of the home upon arrival and kindly dropped by to let us know when there was a brief outage in the internet. Well situated to drive east or west; and we did both. Less than 10 minutes to Castletownbere and the Ring of Beara. A short walk down the lane to the harbor shore was a delight. Loved having tea in the morning from a comfy seat in the glassed in porch and watching the glistening waters and the changing skies. The large kitchen is a plus and the kitchen table was perfect for game nights, chosen from the many available.
