    Our only regret was having stayed for only 1 night. This is a place to stay longer.

    Goleen Harbour is a fabulous place. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere by the sea, then look no further. Our cabin had everything we needed - cooker, oven, shower, a comfortable bed - not to mention the stunning sea view. The surroundings are very quiet and we got to enjoy some peaceful and happy moments. We met Shawn on arrival and he was super nice, giving us a very warm welcome and telling us about some great things to do in the area.

    Nothing really

    The location is absolutely beautiful, we stayed in Fastnet cabin and it had great sea view. I was a bit concerned about heating as we visited in December but you can set up the thermostat to your liking and it was really warm and cozy. The cabin had great design and large windows that allow you take in all of the views. It was a fantastic experience

    The place is so quiet and beautiful. The chalet is cozy and well equiped. Heating is very good on cold and windy nights. Great view to watch sun go down and you can take a walk in nature near the sea. Shawn was super host and so helpful and friendly.

    The check out time at 10am was quite early. I appreciate they do have to be cleaned but they aren’t cheap and for 1 night when check in is 3pm and checkout is 10am it doesn’t give you a lot of time to explore the next day without rushing back to try and get out. Especially coming into winter when it’s dark at 5pm. You would definitely need more than 1 night there but again it isn’t cheap! But that would be my only qualm.

    It was so beautiful, such a nice place and clean

    We only had a very short time here but the stay was exceptional. The view from the cabin was breathtaking and it was equipped with everything you could need. We booked the hot tub and it is a once in a lifetime experience getting to relax in the fire-heated tub while overlooking the Atlantic. Shawn checked us in and set up the hot tub for us and gave our experience the X-factor by recommending we visit Dunlough Castle. Thank you for making this stay so special and we will definitely be back!!

    Was disappointed to have to pay 35EU to use the spa that was said to come with the accommodation (although I understand why, as it takes time to light it and uses up wood) No issue for me- but for other travelers- the toilet at the dome is a well designed dry toilet (bag and sawdust) but there is a flushing toilet less than 100m away. Again not an issue for me- but for other travelers- the “beach” is rock entry (climb and jump in) a beautiful area though.

    The geodome is superb. Spectacular view from inside. We watched the sky change from sundown to moon up. Comfy bed, choice of wood fire or heater in room. Layout well thought- great to have full kitchen to use. We had a lovely relaxing couple of days to rest after lots of traveling. Sean was friendly and welcoming and Matt allowed us a late checkout. Thanks- we loved this place.

    Beautiful Stay by the Water

    First line of description says, "This tent comes with a hot tub". The hot tub is not by the tent, and is shared. Its not open for use, and you need to book the hot tub for a private session. We didn't bother as we had a child and needed to stay near tent. Disappointed was not a private, personal use, hottub as I interpreted the description.

    The location and quiet is beautiful. Right on the water, you have amazing views and stunning sunsets. Bed is super comfy, and large. Beautiful sea views over night. Great decking to watch the sun go down, or dolphins pass by. Didn't use the fire place, but wood was supplied for us.

    The driveway up to cabins was very rough and car was scraping along however this is possibly due to recent bad weather and perhaps in summer may not be an issue. Although not a deal breaker a microwave would be very convenient in the cabin.

    Host was very helpful and friendly and responsive,The Cabin was lovely and warm, with option to increase or decrease temp whenever needed, it's a peaceful area and has nice views of the sea.
