Our favourite pastime here is walking the quiet lanes, talking to locals and relaxing in the pure Atlantic air. The Sheep's Head Way and Beara Way are walking trails for the more adventerous. We often pick blackberries or mushrooms on the lane , and cook fresh fish on the barbecue in the garden. The Atlantic Gulf Stream makes the climate here the mildest in Ireland. Or you can just relax here and admire the view.
