Cottages anciens en pierres apparentes

Our stay at Barralach was AWESOME! I had read many great reviews from previous visitors and we had high expectations. We were not Disappointed. The Cottages were clean and comfortable. The Main Cottage with the kitchen, dining, laundry and living areas was well appointed with everything we could possibly need, even boots and foul weather clothing. The living area with wood stove was our place to gather after hiking or on our return from day trips.

There was an extensive collection of eclectic reading materials, from Irish history and geology to maps and travel information, plus much, much more.

But the scenery from the house and property was just incredible. You will have commanding views of local mountains, Dingle Peninsula and the Curragh Lake estuary.

The Kerry Way hiking trail is nearby and allows for even novice hikers to enjoy the moderate trail to Glenbeigh. Last of all were the sheep that came and went at will, entertaining us with there antics.

Dooks golf course is very close by and was a great challenge.

We highly recommend this rental to anyone wishing to explore the splendor of Southwest Ireland.

Peter's cottages at Baralach were the perfect fit for our family of eleven. Each couple/group had their own space with the main home providing wonderful general space for everyone to gather and eat. With that said, we were outside most of the time taking in the spectacular views - just sitting in the comfy chairs provided drinking wine and chatting. Couldn't have been better. The home was clean and well stocked to prepare meals. We used the grill a number of times. Peter couldn't have been more helpful or responsive to all of our many questions. Thanks for an amazing stay!

It was everything that Paedar said it would be. The location really makes you feel like you’re part of Ireland. Betty, the housekeeper, was always ready to help in any way. If you have a chance, have her make a wonderful meal for you! Quite a bargain.

This remote and beautiful property was perfect for our family visit to Ireland. Although there were eleven of us spread over three buildings, we never lacked room. This is a truly unique place, high up on a hill with magnificent views and only sheep for neighbors. The main building is homey and comfortable, filled with a spacious library and interesting artifacts from the area. The kitchen and dining areas served us well with ample dishes and cookware. Any group looking for a getaway in Kerry would find it both charming and nicely located to points of interest.

The views are breathtaking and the location is perfect for a stay in Kerry. While staying on the mountain you can easily imagine how it was in centuries past. The quiet, the air, watching the sheep dot the mountains, noticing how the clouds come in and fill the valleys, then clear out and again exposing the fantastic views. And then there's the Milky Way at night. I believe I haven't seen a darker sky with the stars and planets as bright since we were at Organ Pipe in Arizona 25 years ago. It would be hard to say which had better viewing.

The cottages are beautiful, comfortable, clean, and have all the modern conveniences. The main cottage where everyone spent most of our time except for sleeping has breathtaking views from many of the rooms with large windows. All three cottages were very comfortable and just perfect.

The village of Glenbeigh is a stones throw away with a great pub at the Glenbeigh Hotel. Gas and a small super-market are also in town.
