When we arrived, we where shown to our room which was quite spacious, bed was comfortable, toilet and shower room was also spacious. Breakfast was very nice,which you had to pick from a menu the night before,no complaints with the service either. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great while we there, so didn't get the chance to sit outside and enjoy the views. Host was very friendly and accomodating,full off information, so would have no hesitation recommending shearwater to anyone.

Guest reviews
Shearwater Self Catering averages 4.7 out of 5 across 59 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
What a place, we stayed for 3 nights and we enjoyed ever second. Adela was the perfect host and the room was exceptional. We have stayed in 4 star hotels that could not compare to the cleanliness and comfort of Shearwater. The breakfast was fantastic with plenty of options to be had each morning. To top it all off we woke up to a beautiful view of the North Atlantic and beautiful west cork countryside. We will be back for sure
Beautiful stay for one night in Shearwater. Stunning guesthouse with beautiful views of the sea. Rooms were clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the chats with the host. Breakfast was beautiful too really enjoyed our stay here.
