  • We loved our stay in the eco cabin in Goleen Harbour. It’s so cute and cosy with amazing views. The hot tub also over looks the sea and the cabins are only a short walk to a clear swimming spot, fab pub and chipper should the need arise. Crookhaven and Barleycove beach are also only a short drive. We were blessed with the weather during our stay which obviously made it even more enjoyable. Matt and his staff are super friendly and we look forward to coming back in the future when no doubt it will be even more special as he has big plans for the site. Can’t recommend enough!
