Hello - When my husband and I went to the Beara in 2006 we stayed at the "Inches House" with both self catering cottages and a B&B. We stayed in the self catering cottage for close to two weeks and it served as a great base to visit all the treasurers of the peninsula. My husband at the time had a medical condition that made it good to be able to get back to our place as often as we needed to during the day. It was close enough so that the night we went to "Causkey's" in the Eyeries village we were able to walk to the pub. Not really recommended as to the complete darkness and lack of a good place to walk at night. The couple who ran the "Inches House" offers you 3 luxury Self-catering Holiday Cottages Click below! For more details http://www.eyeries.com/ But where ever you stay, Enjoy the visit to your family home!

We would perhaps spend about 5 days in Beara roaming the lands of my Murphy/Sullivan roots and spend the rest of the time touring the rest of Ireland. Does anyone have any ideas I might take advantage of especially with respect to a B&B in Beara, transportation (I should think we'd need 2 or maybe even 3 cars......by the way, is there a maximum driving age in Ireland?), and any other relevant advice ? The time frame would probably be June-August because of school constraints. I've traveled Ireland with my wife only and merely planned each succeeding day and place as each day ended, but I suspect that with a large group that might not be so easy. Any information would be helpful.

Paul I have traveled to Ireland twice with family groups. Once with 10 and once with 16. We used a van with the 10 I think 16 or 18 passenger (remember luggage) with a driver. The second trip we had a bus just for us. We used Guest Houses for both so we could stay together. Bigger then a B & B but less then a hotel. They can be found on the Irish Tourist Board site. I have been to Ireland 8 times and enjoyed every minute but sharing it with family priceless.

Hello to all, You have been giving such good advise to Paul, I feel compelled to ask your thoughts on a winter trip. Our son is stationed USAF in England and we are thinking of going to spend the Christmas holidays with he and our daughter-in-law.  We will be able to stay 3-4 weeks and hope to spend at least one week in and around Castletownbere , Bere Island and Baltimore.  Would like to venture to Roscommon where my ancestors are from as well. Are we crazy?  Would it be difficult to find lodging during the holidays?  Of course, Xmas week we will be at their home in Bury St. Edmunds and London, but what of the week before or after New Years?  Any advice would be most welcome. Lisa O’Sullivan

Dear Paul, Try Beara Holliday Homes. Person in charge was Ann O'Sullivan (of course!). It was modern, up to date and warm, but charming. They have weekly rates, plus electricity. Weekly rate there is probably less than a B&B would cost for five days, plus you will be able to catch up on laundry and save money on your meals. It is located a mile or so west of Allihies; Castletownbere is a short drive away. The postal address is - Beara Holiday Homes, Fuchsia Lodge, Filane West, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Their email address is: info@bearaholidayhomes.com Get a SMALL car, with AUTOMATIC transmission. Not only will you save petrol, but the roads will seem wider and the parking spots bigger, and you will be thankful for that. Don't try to mess with a stick shift -- you will have enough to think about without having to tackle gears. Consider a walking or biking trip on Bear Island while you are there, and have a nice lunch at Kitty's Restaurant. And, don't forget the cable car to Dursey Island, another fine walk.

I was talking to a family relative about my legs one day and I was told I have Harrington(Causkey) legs, meaning I have varicose legs.  When my husband and I traveled to Castletown the nice people we met would ask me if I had the Harrington(Causkey) legs.  I was just wondering if any of you out there had run into this leg situation? Thank you Caroleann

Hi we did it in 2004.  My husband drove from Shannon airport to Dublin.  We had a small car but not small enough.  The roads were so narrow and driving on the wrong side and roundabout crazy.  The windshield wipers going and trying to find where to stay.  I would definitely make reservation and have a good map to find the places.  They were ok the B&b's.  Be sure to get the car insurance and take pictures of your cars before leaving.  You have to pay extra for other people to drive so my husband did it all.  We did not drive at night because of the glare of the car lights and oh yes the YELLOW Line down the middle of our roads in the U.S. runs along the outer edges and the white line is in the middle of the road.  We had no children with us.  Everything was very expensive but I am ready to go back again.  We had a great time.  Caroleann Quan

When I went to Beara I stayed at Faromanes House just outside Eyeries and the Sea View B&B in Allihies. Both were great. Faromanes has more of a family atmosphere. http://www.lodging-world.com/accom.Formanes_House.105029.html http://www.allihiesseaview.com/ Phil Paul Murphy wrote: > Hi, gentle Beara folk, > > I'm contemplating a possible trip of about 2 weeks to Ireland with my > family, up to 11 people (6 adults, 5 children ages 6-21).

Hi Paul, as you probably know everything is more expensive during those months,but that's the time I usually go also.You cannot rent a car if you are over 75 and I believe they charge a little more if you are over 70.But you have plenty of young adults to take care of the driving.There are plenty of B&b's and if one cannot accomodate your whole party they will send you to someone they know who canCheck out the website www.bearatourism.com there is alot of info there.Don't forget to visit Bere IslandHave a blast, Jim.> Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:12:01 -0400> From: fpm60@embarqmail.com> To: Beara-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: [BEARA] Trip to Beara> > Hi, gentle Beara folk,> > I'm contemplating a possible trip of about 2 weeks to Ireland with my > family, up to 11 people (6 adults, 5 children ages 6-21).

Paul, With such a large group, I would think a tour bus would be more fun where you could all visit and leave the driving to one who know his way around. Maybe you could get a small private bus and the driver could take you where ever you would like to go. We've traveled by bus and by car and you can see a great deal more from the bus, especially the driver can. We've never had any bad luck with the B&Bs. Every one has been lovely. Just watch for the green shamrock.

Hi Paul, I found  "Holiday Homes" near Allihies that are very nice.There are several together and they are new but charming .We stayed in one for 4 people but there were others.The woman who runs them is Sheila Sheehan and I think you can find them on the web.if not.,let me know .

Can you fit me in your luggage? I could just get lost among the rest of the party and make it a solid dozen. With that many people I would see about getting one or two of you free.

Now that some of us have photos on the Irish Heritage site I think it would be great to look them over and see if there are any family resembelences. Goodness knows I am grasping at straws but a face comes from past generations. I am told my my uncle that I resembled my great-grandmother Mary Sullivan, Not sure but her photo is up on the site ~~C

I noticed that I omitted the fact that centralized records for Catholics began in 1864 in Ireland so an ancestor would have to have been born late in the 1700's to show up in the death records after 1864.Hope this is more clear.

Hi to all on the Beara List, the Beara Historical Society, Castletownbere, to celebrate National Heritage Week unveiled a memorial plaque nearby to the burial place of Princess Beara. Full particulars and photos of this event can be found at http://www.bhs.ie/past_talks.htm The Society has also added many new photos of Beara and its peoples in bygone days both to the website and PhotoSite.
