Mary and Chris are great hosts ! I was there for 3 days and they told me what I could do near Glengarriff, what are the best restaurants... They spend time with us during breakfast, which is very well cooked by the chef Chris !
If I had to go to Glengarriff one more time, I would immediately choose this B&B !July 2022

Mary, Chris and Matthew are extremely kind. They do everything to satisfy you. They do not count their time to talk with you. It’s so important when You want to improve your langage. Every day, they gave me good some advices to discover the best spots in the area. What about the food ? If i tell you that Chris is a chef, you will have understood that breakfast and dinner are excellent ! The house is situated in a very quiet place. Eventually, i don’t see where i could remove points to Chris and Mary. They are perfect. Thank you both ! I will come back.

J’ai passé un super séjour chez Chris et Mary !! Ils sont aux petits soins pour vous et prennent le temps de discuter
Chris qui est chef cuisinier fait très très bien à manger
La chambre est très grande avec une salle de bain privative, rien à dire c’est nickel
Leur maison est très bien située pour visiter les alentours
Je resterai avec grand plaisir chez Chris et Mary pour plusieurs semaines tellement on s’y sent bien, comme à la maison tout simplement
Merci pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour chez Mary et Chris. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis. Nous avons apprécié particulièrement les échanges riches et amicaux. Les breakfasts faits maison étaient excellents et copieux. Nous recommandons fortement cet hôte d’autant que la péninsule de Beara est magnifique et mérite qu’on s’y attarde plusieurs jours.

Chris and Mary made us very welcome, their house is modern and bright, and in a quiet location, but close to Glengarriff.
