what our clients say about us

Escape to a little bit of paradise. Lovely comfortable cosy room and a lovely powerful power shower to soothe the body after two days walking in the beautiful Kerry Mountains. Fergal, the host was so informative and knowledgeable about the area including the history, the wild life, the birds and the flora and fauna. He could not do enough for us . He provided us with with a hearty breakfast each day, and a substantial lunch to bring with us on our hikes. He pre-booked our evening meals in local places so we didn't have to worry about a thing! After our hikes each day we relaxed in a lovely sitting room in front of a blazing wood stove with a lovely cup of tea! I cant wait to go again.

Fergal’s walks are delightful, you experience places and scenery you’d never find alone. Relaxed and very Covid compliant, Fergal delivers a truly personal service for walkers of all levels. Great value too!

Fergal was an absolutely excellent host & guide. The accommodation was comfortable, spacious and spotless. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the walks were geared to suit our abilities. We were able to totally relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of the mountains and coastline of Sneem & Derrynane. We totally recommend stopping for a while at Álaind, we will certainly be back 🙂

I have been a very unserious hillwalker for many years, but this was my first time walking with a guide. Why oh why did I not tumble to the benefits long ago?! Discovering where to walk is just one part of it, discovering how to walk is the secret ingredient. I began a 4 day break in Sneem with a short (2 – 3 hour) walk to Eagles Lough and Coomanassig Waterfall led by Fergal. It's not just the glorious scenery and the exercise and the badly needed fresh air that is to be recommended here, it's Fergal's modelling of how to experience all of that in something approaching its proper magnitude. So he tells you about the rocks and the vegetation and the birds, about the area, about the lie of the land; but the experience of the walk is not just about knowledge gained, it is about the extraordinary, becalming effect of really taking in your environment. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Fergal has a great knowledge of the locality. We were able to enjoy a wonderful range of walks; from hills, to mountains and beautiful panoramic sea views across Kenmare Bay. Even the rain didn’t dampen our delight in discovering what my family has named “The Fairy Forest”. Our base was perfectly situated for accessing the many route choices and was situated just outside the picturesque village of Sneem.
