My renewed body and soul
The host Conor was supportive and helpful as I have a disability. He made the experience so memorable and I felt safe and comfortable The long swim was amazingly warm The healthy breakfast was delicious But the place was healing for me Mind and body The history stories he told were fascinating I am sure to go again I love this place Thank you đ
A MUST DO!
The entire experience felt magical, and so much of that was because of Conner. He is genuinely one of the sweetest and best humans I have ever met. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. His storytelling is incredible, and the way he shares the history, beauty, and spirit of Ireland adds a depth you cannot find anywhere else. This is an absolute must and something I would do again without hesitation.
A great start to our day in West Cork
Conor and Celine were amazing guides and kind hosts. The pilgrimage to the well was beautiful and shaded. Other than a swimsuit, a towel, and clothes to warm up in, everything was provided: swim buoys, wetsuits, warming blankets, etc. The swim was well organized and accommodated our group very well. The hot oats and tea afterwards topped it all off and Conorâs retelling of the local lore brought it to life and related to the local landmarks. 10/10 would do it again.
Do Not Miss These Adventures with Conor and his Lovely Family
This is an absolute must for any and all! Conor and his family are remarkable folks and we are very grateful to them. It was an exhilarating experience and the wonderful breakfast they served after the plunge was amazing. Conor is a fount of historical information and history and is an amazing storyteller. We were INCREDIBLY fortunate to have him as our guide for all the adventures we went on. We will be back!
I already want to do it again!
Celine's gifted ability with words makes you realise and feel the soul of this piece of Irish landscape. You will be embedded in history, saints giving name to the landscape, its awaking waters, and kindness of people!
