We have been hiring bikes on the Beara Peninsula for over ten years. Our bike shop has re-located to the nearby town of Bantry but we are still very much in the business of hiring bikes in Beara. We hire hybrid style bikes (mainly Giant Escapes/Liv Avail) all fully fitted with mudguards and pannier racks. Hire includes a helmet and lock. We would ask that you reserve your bike at least 24 hours in advance and we can deliver the bike to your accommodation. We look forward to hearing from you and will do all we can to ensure you enjoy your trip around the Beara Peninsula.

This is a truly unique experience and I am so lucky to live within driving distance of Ahabeg and this wonderful man and his lovely wife. You will be spoilt here because not only do you get to listen to David's sublime piano playing in a cosy living room, you also have the pleasure of tasting Suzanne's divine baking, as well as the beauty of the location (in the lee of Hungry Hill overlooking the ocean on the Beara peninsula), the tip-tap of Jess the dog's paws and the delightful conversations and atmosphere. You come for the music but leave filled up to the brim with diverse experiences, a warm heart, enthralled mind and satisfied belly.
3. The Ireland Way Hiking Trail

Great trail. Some parts of the southern section can be really challenging. I used an app called Hiiker to do it, which was pretty much a 100% necessity as some sections there is little or no signage and it can get a bit confusing. The book is also good. I camped a lot of the Way by asking permission of farmers (mostly ????). I think you need a top-notch tent to do it. I have a Zpacks Duplex tent, and you need that level and quality of waterproofing. I had a groundsheet as well that was a necessity. I used a combination of gators and trail runners, but I was happy enough to get my feet wet in places. I feel like I got pretty lucky with the weather for the most part but equally, I experience the 4-seasons in a day weather the odd time!

We spent an hour here chatting with the staff and one of the patrons who is a retired fisherman. The pub has a very charming atmosphere with an obviously devoted local clientele as well as the tourists. Unfortunately we came in the evening and it seems that food is served only at lunch. Nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this pub to anyone wanting to get a flavor of Ireland.
