The Beara Peninsula sits in both County Kerry and County Cork,
making it ideal for visitors to both Kerry cottage and Cork
cottages.
The rugged landscape is beautiful and full of charm, and visitors
can enjoy it by walking the 196km Beara Way, or driving the lovely
Ring of Beara.
The Ring of Beara links, in a roundabout way, the village of
Glengariff with the town of Kenmare. From Glengariff, you can take
a boat trip to the Italianate gardens on Garnish Island, then head
by road to Castletownbere past the rugged peaks of Sugarloaf
Mountain and Hungry Hill in the Caha Mountains.
Boat trips can be taken from Castletownbere to Bere Island, then
get back on the road and head for Dursey Island, which has nothing
but sheep but is reached by a tiny cable car 30m above the waves -
an experience which makes the detour worthwhile!
Pass through Allihies, Eyeries, Ardgroom and Lauragh before coming
out to Kenmare, then heading via the Caha Pass, a precarious
winding road literally through the mountains, back to Glengariff.
Whether you return to a County Cork cottage or a County Kerry
cottage, this rugged peninsula will surely stay in your heart.

I found Hogans a first class company. From my first call the staff were very helpful & knowledgeable about the area we were going to. If the sales team were busy they always phoned back. Having a wide choice of cottages & ferry package made booking the holiday very easy. I will definitely use Hogans again
