The Log Cabin sits on its own grounds at the foot of Hungry Hill, one of the Beara Peninsula's most dramatic peaks. Step outside and the landscape unfolds - mountain ridges rising behind, the sea opening below, and nothing but clean air and silence around you.

Built from warm timber and designed for comfort, the cabin feels like both a retreat and a gathering place. Large windows frame the views rather than walls. A full kitchen opens to a light-filled living space. Bedrooms are quiet and simple. The whole place breathes.

This is countryside proper - no car noise, no neighbours close by, no distraction. Just the mountain, the water, the light changing through the day, and the peace that comes from genuine solitude.

Everything you need.
