Traveler reviews
Thoroughly enjoyable experience
Really enjoyable experience. Interesting stories about the area, lovely swim, nice breakfast. There was an option of a wetsuit, which I took and was delighted with. Kept me warm for the 20-25 mins we were in the water. Appreciated the float provided too, made it easy to just float and relax in the water at times and take in the beautiful calm morning we had.
Cold waters, Warm hearts
This was a lovely, yet chilling experience. Probably less chilling had I chosen to wear a wet suit:). Conor and Celine were great guides and story tellers, sharing historic details about the immediate area, which were surprisingly many. Also, sharing details about the plant and wildlife of the area, some of which could be readily observed in the water with provided goggles. The hot porridge and coffee were delicious and helped warm the body and the soul. Thank you for a memorable experience.
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.
