Julia O'Connor

I have been in the hospitality business since 1991 and I do enjoy meeting people and engaging in conversation. During the winter months I do a lot of walking nearby. I've also walked abroad; Grand Cayon in the U.S., Matchu Pitchu, South America, las Alpujarras, Spain and Brittany, France. I also cycle, I've completed the Ring of Kerry, cycled in Poland and France. I also cook and enjoy having people for dinner. When totally relaxed I enjoy reading and am a member of the local book club.

Absolutely lovely home and wonderful hospitality. Julia went out of her way to help us out, even giving us a ride into town for dinner. Gorgeous river behind the house. Really enjoyed our stay.

We had a very pleasant stay at An Bruachan. Julia was so friendly and a wonderful host. Despite the rain, we enjoyed the grounds and our evening in Kenmare. Per their suggestion, we were stunned by the beautiful park and waterfalls on our way to Killarney. Also, great breafast!

We had a lovely stay at An Bruachan. Julia was a wonderful host, and he home is warm, comfortable and welcoming. The breakfasts were delicious and got our days off to a great start. Her recomendation to drive the Ring of Beara turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip, in spite of terrible weather. So much to see, and so much less crowded than the Ring of Kerry. Thank you!

Host's Reply:
Dear Rob and Pat By now you are probably back in the U.S. Thank you for your favourable comments. It is nice to know that people enjoy their stay at my home. I hope you have many enjoyable memories of your visit to Ireland besides the trip around the Beara Peninsula which is always a pleasant experience whether I am in the car or on the bike!!! Thank you again for staying at An Bruachan. Regards Julia

Jackson 6, Oct 2022: Julia and team are exceptional and what a great place to stay. Don't miss it. We only stayed 1 night and would add another on our next adventure to Ireland. The accommodations were beautiful, love the river behind and all the flowers and beautiful greenery. Breakfast was yummy but the best was the conversation and care by Julia. What fun we had and you have a exceptional B&B. Our favorite on our whole trip!
