    Setting is beautiful and peaceful. The views from the sunroom are spectacular of the Irish countryside and you can see St. Finian's Bay and Skellig Michael. Great skellig ring location. We got to help herd sheep and watch shearing! Host Michael...

The House has a an adjoining detached apartment at the rear which is not included in the booking. It is used occasionally by the owner's Family. Addition charges are applied for electricity, heating and waste this is metered at the cost price and is payable on or after departure. My home is a 5 minute walk from St. Finian's Bay beach, popularised by surfers for it's excellent waves. There are beautiful fields located behind my home that can be explored, as well as family-friendly activities with a new children play area beside the beach. My home is complete with 3 comfortable bedrooms, a kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a spacious living space for relaxation after a tiring day on the beach, or in the mountains. This is a great place to get away from the hectic noise of the city, offering tranquility and peace, allowing you to get away from your comfort zone and experience rural Ireland first-hand. Chapel Cross House is located between the fishing port of Portmagee, with Ballinskelligs a mere 10 minute drive away. For adults and children alike, the Skelligs Chocolate Factory is a 10 minute walk, and offers free tastings and handmade Irish chocolate for purchase. The area is part of the Kerry Dark Sky Reserve without any light pollution, revealing millions of stars on clear nights. We have a fantastic restaurant Driftwood and Fish take away Hake Hatch within 10 minutes walk Smart TV Washing machine Tumble dryer Dishwasher Microwave Electric water kettle Coffee percolator Fridge freezer Radio CD player Books & games Adapters for sockets Baby cot Garden furniture
Hi, I was born in the local area and I have strong personal connections with St. Finians Bay. To me, it's the most beautiful area in Southwest Ireland. There are plenty of opportunities for hikes or beach days, as well a multitude of gorgeous natural landscapes, such as Skellig Michael (as seen on Star Wars Episodes VII and VIII). The area is largely untouched by modern development, with a diverse landscape from sea views to mountains and bog lands, whilst also boasting several amenities for food and drinks, such as the Hake Hatch, Driftwood, and the Skelligs Chocolate Factory. For those who want to explore it is an ideal base to gather some excellent photo opportunities. For me, sharing this hidden gem of a location with the world is something which gives me great satisfaction and joy, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
St Finians Bay with its Sandy Beach sits between Ballinskelligs in the South and Portmagee to the North (5 miles each way. From all angles you can view the SKELLIGS Michael Heritage Site just 12 miles off shore. We have our local Skelligs Chocolate Factory and cafe, Driftwood Restaurant and Coffee Dock at the beach, Hake Hatch fast food outlet, plus our modern children's play area all adjacent to Chapel Cross House.
