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.
IrelandAmazing. 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
IrelandOur 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.

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.
