The LookOut

Amazing views

Fiona is a terrific host! She made us feel right at home in her lovely little suite. Although she makes it clear she doesn’t do breakfasts, she is more than generous - we found bread, milk, butter, jams, coffee, tea, cereal and biscuits in the room. We made the suggestion that a small table would be a good addition (the outdoor table and chairs are not always an option in Ireland!) and she ordered one right away! It didn’t come in time for us, but I expect it will be there for her next guests. Now that’s what I call a responsive host! There’s a toaster and kettle, but no microwave. The bathroom sink is where you wash dishes. Tragumna is a little gem of a community and we enjoyed an excellent meal in the pub. There’s a swimming spot just at the foot of the lane. This stretch of coast is not so touristy as Kerry, Dingle or Galway and yet just as lovely. Mizen Head and Barley Cove make an excellent day trip, and even closer is Lough Hyne with warm swimming and a wonderful hike up Knockomagh Hill for great views. Walks or drives in either direction from Tragumna’s lovely beach will bring you to more beautiful coastal scenery. We stayed three nights and could easily have stayed longer and explored more. Lidl at Skibbereen is a short drive for supplies.

A few towel rails and a chair, stool or small bench to put your towel or clothes on in the spacious bathroom would be a great addition.

Location was beautiful!

Such an ideal location. Fabulous view of the sea and a pub only a few minutes walk away!!

Great location! Paddy the dog a huge bonus

A warm, family-friendly welcome was had from fiona, family,community, and paddy the dog. Tragumna is a hidden gem a perfect staging point to explore the south coast of ireland.
