About this property

Mountain Retreat situated amongst the ruins of the old miners village

  • Come and relax in an area of outstanding beauty. Walk straight out onto the mountain tracks and soak up the timeless, untamed nature of the Beara Way, a national walking / cycling route of 200km.
    Situated at the tip of the Beara peninsula, Allihies is a colourful village of unspoiled beauty, steeped in history, rugged coastline, hidden coves, remote mountain valleys and lakes; perfect for swimming, hiking, canoeing, fishing, riding, cycling, bird watching, stargazing or simply just relaxing.
    Join in a guided meditation and visit the temple and cafe at Dzogchen Beara ( 15 mins drive away).
    Explore the local mining history and visit Allihies Copper Mine Museum.
    Visit Dursey Island by Europes only cable car that crosses open seawater., or take a boat trip to explore the local islands.
    Immerse yourself in the historic culture by visiting stone circles, fairy forts and wedge tombs, or simply relax and enjoy a Guinness and some traditional Irish music at one of the 3 village pubs.
    I look forward to welcoming you to the Mountain Retreat.

If you prefer something off the beaten path with gorgeous views and think it is worth driving out of your way to see views you won’t see by staying in a tourist area, this place was worth it. I wish we had booked it for longer so we had time to explore the area. The host was great and very responsive to messages. I didn’t realize it was an apartment attached to the back of their house but honestly it didn’t bother us at all. She had everything we needed in the apartment plus some.
