A cosy place in a beautiful and peaceful setting. We had to clean everything before we could really feel at home, but it was well worth the effort and we will definitely be back.

Bere Island is beautiful and this cottage is literally at the centre of it. Loved the upstairs lounge and the sunshine meant we were able to enjoy the table outside.

If you've been to Ireland, then you'll know the scenery, but to paint a picture, from this house' sun room, during our stay, we had rainbows, stunning vistas, and rolling hills every morning. The location is perfect to get to Murphy's ferry (take that one, the owner is amazing, and the loading is much safer for your car. We grounded out on the Bear island ferry and the staff was not as welcoming) and is central enough to access all the hiking the island has to offer, save for the ones closer to the town. Bere Island itself is close enough to get to most of the southern tourist stops, all the way up and including the shannon ferry and the cliffs of Moher, but thats the maximum rage without missing the ferry back. You'll need to plan a few BnB stops outside that range to see ll of Ireland. This cottage is the pinnacle of a quiet retreat, and the island itself is as cozy and welcoming as you could ever want. There are electric heaters for those brisk nights, the bed was a cushion of clouds that we never had a bad night on. The mornings with cows in the field and ducks foraging in the front were just magic. The caveat, the utilities and internet are built for purpose. Hyper efficient toilets don't always flush completely, hot water is taken from a heated tank that sometimes refuses to heat, and the internet is provided via cell signal which can get over taxed. Do not count on it for anything more than texting and email. Despite that, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We had a beautiful stay on Bere island at Edith's house. The views & location were unparalleled. Locals friendly & ferry fun.
