Breakfast was amazing. Adela was a very friendly and attentive host and provided us with lots of tips on things to do in the area. The bedroom was elegant and spacious and the en-suite modern and very clean.

Amazing. More like a luxury boutique hotel than a B&B. Wonderful hostess, really comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Stunning views and one of the best breakfasts I've had

Our room and bathroom were really comfortable, the room had double doors with a lovely view and small balcony straight out to the harbour and estuary. Adela was a great host and her breakfasts were delicious. Unionhall and Glandore are lovely little villages, both with lovely food options. We would highly recommend Shearwater Country House.

It was so quiet and peaceful. A nice getaway. The host was so lovely and made us feel welcome straight away. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Thanks

Gorgeous location and stunning views! House is so clean and a fantastic breakfast setup. 10/10

Adela couldn’t have been nicer , or more welcoming . The room and facilities were top class and the breakfast was spectacular The view was second to none I’ll def be back

The property is extremely clean and comfortable. Great view from the bedrooms and lovely dining area. Excellent breakfast. Friendly and helpful host. Hope to return soon.

It exceeded my expectations. Great location, great host, great breakfast, free indoor parking. Very good price.

Adela is an amazing host and she makes you feel like home. The house has nice touches and the view is stunning. We had an issue with the car and thought that our holiday is over, but she was very supportive and helped us in every way she could. Thank you, Adela and Ronnie!

It was located in a very quiet cul de sac. The view from our room was perfect. The range of choice for breakfast was excellent and well cooked with lovely presentation. Our host Adela was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was served with a smile.

Shearwater B & B sits on an elevated site overlooking Glandore Harbour, in the picturesque fishing village of Union Hall. The house was built in 1974, and has been extensively renovated over the years. The property provides panoramic views of the harbour and countryside. The patio offers an idea area to sit and watch the fishing boats returning in the evening, or walk down to the harbour to see the day's catch. Shearwater provides quiet areas in the garden should you just want to take in the sun or read a book. It is a easy 6 min walk to the village, on a level pavemented road, where there are 2 bisto pubs providing excellent bar food including fresh fish, steaks and vegetarian menus. There is also a traditional pub providing good beer and conversation with the locals. The village also has supermarket, providing all essentials, wine, beer, bakery and a ATM.
Shearwater is owned and run by Adela & Ronnie Nugent. We started the business in 1996 and have continiously endeavoured to improve standards and to make all our guest enjoy a genuinely warm welcome and truly comfortable accommodation when away from home. We aim to exceed the expectations of our guests by providing personal attention and unparalleled service, and to inspire them to return again, and again.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
