Kingdom of the Hare

A stone cottage, built in 1898, but completely restored and remodelled since 2016.

The last house at the end of a half-mile track, leading up from the Wild Atlantic Way/Skellig Ring. In front of the house, the land slopes down to the Atlantic at St. Finian's Bay. Behind the house is the steep bowl of the top of the glen.

While we have done everything we can to update the house, one thing was beyond our control. The house sits in a slight hollow, which protects it from Atlantic gales, but means it is out of sight of the microwave signal of the local broadband supplier. Thus while we have a mobile signal, there is NO WI-FI! Well, you did want to get away from it all, didn't you?

Sleeps 5/6 in three bedrooms.

Fitted with an oil range, wood-burning stove and central heating, as well as washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.

Bath and walk in shower.

Well water.

Swing seat and breakfast area in a sheltered spot at the rear of the house, dining area at the front to enjoy panoramic views over the Atlantic and sunset over Puffin Island.

Outside shower and drying area to clean up after the beach.

Fully enclosed garden.

Fuel, water supply and recycling accessible in the shed at the rear.

All linen and towels provided.

NOTE - as the bedrooms are reached by a spiral staircase, the house may not be suitable for toddlers and other people with limited mobility.
