Traharta or 'strand' is opposite Horse Island at the entrance to Castletownshend Harbour on the South West coast of Ireland. It is part of an unspoilt coast surrounded by green fields and dairy cattle,making it an ideal place to relax and get away from it all. The environment is one of the cleanest and least spoilt in Europe and is a paradise for photographers and artists, because of the subtly changing lighting and sun filled evenings. The site is only 5 minutes from Sandy Cove, 2 miles from Castletownshend, 3 miles from Toe Head 4 miles from the active historic market town of Skibbereen, 5 miles from the Fastnet Rock and 50 miles from Cork and its International Airport. The location is surrounded by tourist interest including golf and sailing at Baltimore; Sherkin and Cape Clear Islands. On the route to the museum at Mizen Head are Mt Gabriel and Schull. Bantry is within easy reach as is the Bera peninsular, Glengarriff, Garinish Island, Kenmare and the Ring of Kerry.

Guest Comments

One Italian guest who arrived late at night and only saw the view from his bedroom window in the morning, came into breakfast and said 'They said I would be staying in a nice place,but no-one told me it would be paradise!' Many people have arrived in Traharta stressed with pressures of work etc. and found that somehow things get in much better perspective sitting on the front patio.
