Great location, short walk into the town. Great to have a space for our sole use. Fresh milk, tea, coffee and sugar were supplied which was a lovely touch. We stayed in early Feb so it was chilly. I believe underfloor heating is being added soon. There is no connecting door between the living area/bedroom and the very large bathroom. This wasn’t a big issue for us but may be an issue for others. There was a great large walk in shower

New business venture, and Caroline was a fabulous host! Short walk to McCarthy's bar, and, yes, there *is* a Harbour view. Caroline and her husband were great after we suffered a mishap, bringing in a tray of tea and cakes. Breakfast was great (Continental, but don't let that put you off). Close by to all the great sights on the Beara peninsula. Stay here!!!

The breakfast was delicious and we saw some cakes being made (premise was also a tea shop until recently) and all looked yum.. what a great location too nice and quirky and really spotless rooms . Loved the shabby chic vibe.

Lovely hosts and great view. Off the beaten track with easy access to wonderful coastline. Room and beds were comfortable and clean. Great breakfast. Easy parking.
Castletownbere is a fabulous place to visit. It is such a good base making it very easy to visit surrounding areas including Garnish, Dursry Island, Glengariff, Bantry, Kenmare and so on.
There is also an excellent rural bus service now which is great for people that don’t drive and it runs all through the year
There is a good variety of shops to visit and some lovely little pubs and bars including the fabulous McCarthys which has a lot of character and has a little shop inside, a great place to visit. Then there’s Harrington’s store and you can but almost anything there including little gifts to take home. Lynch’s is a lovely place to eat and do lovely food including vegetarian options. There are lots of hairdresser and beauty studios if needed

There is so much to do in this area.
There is so much to do in this area. Beautiful gardens you could spend half a day if not a full day. Scenery will exceed all your expectations. I have travelled all over the world and reland still remains the most beautiful country. The food in the pubs we randomly went into was lovely and fairly priced.

Castletownbere is a lovely fishing town in the south west of Ireland. It has a number of great cafes and restaurants. In addition to being a very picturesque place, it is within deriving distance of everywhere on the amazing Bear peninsula, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful places to see in Ireland.

I love the Beara Penisnsula & on this occasion Castletownbere just shone. Weather was absolutely perfect. Great buzz about town & a great feel when you are there. Scenery absolutely stellar & Bere Island is a treat. Just a lovely town to spend a good few days relaxing & drinking it all in.
A beautiful B&B located in a quiet yet wonderful location easily accessible by car (not sure about another mode of transport as I used my own car). The place was kept in excellent condition and the room had all the necessary amenities. The toilet was good and had all the required toiletries and fresh towels. The view from our room was lovely, especially in the morning. The breakfast served was good too. It is close to a lot of beautiful scenic gems along the west of cork. Ideal location if you are planning a ring of Beara trip.
Great location... absolutely lovely owner... welcoming...we asked for recommendation for dinner...she actually made the dinner reservation for us!
Room lovely, comfortable and clean... chocolates for us on arrival...
Nice and quiet night made for a great night's sleep.
Continental breakfast included... mind blowing variety of food...from cereals, cheeses, meats, fish, breads, scones, fruit... one of the best layouts for breakfast I've seen.. better than many hotels I've been in...
Absolutely brilliant all round..
Without a doubt, the best B&B in all of Beara. Beautiful room, great location, and the hotel is staffed by angels - Michelle, Lorna and all the staff put in so much effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The food is absolutely divine - unparalleled breakfast, and the Tea Room serves the best cake we've ever eaten. If you wish to explore the Beara Peninsula, make the Old Medical Hall your base of operations.
Everything was lovely. Denis the host is gracious & helpful — as needed. The location is terrific for getting out & about in the town of Castletownbere, with a wonderful view across the bay to Bere Island. The breakfast each morning is sumptuous, cold cuts, fruit salad, freshly baked bread, eggs & sausage on weekends. There's even a small library of books about the West Cork region.
Superb ground floor apartment. Spotless clean. Beautiful courtyard outside. Essentials on arrival.( tea, coffee, bread, milk and eggs)
Decor was very nice.
Apartment is central, minutes, from pier.
Met the host, who was very nice.
When visiting castletownbere, hopefully we can stay again.
Nice little place right at the waterfront in Castletownbere. Well located and there are plenty of parking bays close by.
Room was cozy with good heating and decent size bed. Quite a few pubs nearby for a Guinness!
Communication from the manager was really good and made everything easy.
The property is beautifully situated outside of Castletownbere. It has a small private cove suitable for walking. Visited over Easter and there were
no on-site shop or restaurant facilities.
The cottage was not very clean with some built up staining on doors and windows had some
mould.
Lovely b&b located centrally in Castletownbere. Owners communicated exceptionally well through app & assisted with every need. Spent 2 night prior to the start of my hike & the first night I had gotten in quite late & they had left homemade chocolate chip cookies & makings for tea :)
The landlady, Mary, was so helpful. Gave me lots of information and history about the area. Drove me into a local restaurant in Castletownbere on the first night. She left a continental breakfast available for me due to my departure being outside of her scheduled serving times.
We spent a night in Castletownbere at this accommodation and it was fantastic. The rooms were large, spotless, and the beds were cozy, situated right in the heart of the town. The staff was delightful and even suggested some great pubs and restaurants. A solid 10/10
A great place to stay in the middle of Castletownbere, surrounded by great dining places and with a view of Bere Island from rooms facing the street. Their breakfast is excellent and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful!
Lovely house in beautifully kept garden; wonderful view over the water to Bere Island; welcoming owners with good advice on places to visit; living room available to sit and read; short drive to Castletownbere for places to eat.
We had breakfast at Lynch's On The Pier in Castletownbere.
