Leaba B&B

By far the BEST B&B we have ever stayed at with the absolute BEST host! Thank you Mo! Your hospitality was over the top!

There was nothing not to like.

Our stay at Leaba was the highlight of our time in Ireland. Mo is a brilliant host and the house is beautifully located with a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean and the Beara Peninsula. Mo provided a wonderful breakfast using local produce and ensured we had a nightcap in the evenings too! She is super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area and happy to provide advice on what to see and do. We will absolutely be back if we return to this part of Ireland! Thank you Mo for an amazing stay.

Exceptional b&b. Amazing hosts. Great food. Hosts Mo and Vinnie lived up to their star billing from other reviews. Knowledgeable about their local area and always helpful.

Could not fault a thing and would unhesitatingly recommend.

Very friendly and hospitable. Fantastic location. The room and facilities were excellent.

Een warme ontvangst, prachtige accommodatie, een heerlijk en uitgebreid ontbijt, met bovenop veel weetjes en tips van de joviale Mo en Vini. Niets kon beter. Een place to be voor ieder.

Freundliche, zugewandte Gastgeberin. Sehr hilfsbereit und kommunikativ. Gibt gute Tipps für Ausflüge und Wanderungen.

Mo è una persona stupenda, la sua casa è molto accogliente, pulitissima e ordinata. Lei è molto disponibole e ci ha dato diverse indicazioni utili per il nostro viaggio. La casa ha una veduta stupenda sul golfo ed è in un ottima posizione a poca distanza da Glengarriff . E per finire anche la colazione è favolosa. Uno dei migliori B&B in cui ho alloggiato. Da consigliare sicuramente.

La casa es increíble y está muy bien cuidada , con unas vistas excelentes desde el salón. MO es muy amable y detallista . Buena base para moverse por la zona.

Todo bien.

A modern home with outstanding decor and design. Very comfortable rooms, fabulous en-suite facilities. Breakfast was to a Michelin star standard, wonderful spread. Mo our hostess was great company and helped us get everything out of our stay locally. We will definitely be back and cannot recommend this highly enough.

Mo hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben, was man in der Gegend am besten ansehen kann und das Frühstück war hervorragend.

We had just travelled from a stay in a 5-star hotel in East Cork when we arrived to stay at Leaba. Without a doubt, Leaba was superior to our hotel experience. That's quite an achievement but it's true. Thank you, Mo, for such a wonderful stay!

Sehr herzliche und freundliche Gastgeber, ein tolles Haus. Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen, insgesamt hat es an nichts gefehlt. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt.

da gibt es nichts.

Incredible host, stunning property and the most delicious breakfast ever! Everything you could need and more was provided here, Mo goes out of her way to make sure you have everything and are completely comfortable. The rooms are gorgeous and so clean, feels really luxurious. Would highly, highly recommend!

Breakfast was excellent!

The host Mo (and Vinny) was exceptional and this is an outstanding property. It is a short drive from the village with excellent views. The hosts were exceptionally generous and we enjoyed the company of them and the other guests. Breakfasts were home made or provided by local suppliers and we received very good advice on which local attractions to visit.

From the minute we arrived we felt like we were at home. Mo is truly one in a million - giving us a genuine warm welcome, fabulous tips about places to visit during our stay and looking after our every need. The house is extremely well appointed, super clean and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was superb with fresh juice, lots of different local cheeses and cold meats as well as fruit, yoghurt, home made granola and delicious scones with jam as well as a cooked sharing plate.The location was very easy to find and 5 minute drive to good shops and eateries at Glengariff. This was by a country mile the best stay of our trip. We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

Having to leave! There is nothing not to like.

Our five-day stay at the beautiful Leaba B&B exceeded expectations. It’s in a wonderful setting with comfortable furnishings and modern fixtures throughout. Our second floor bedroom with ensuite was spacious, full of amenities and had very comfortable beds. The proprietors, Mo & Vin, are excellent hosts. Mo is outgoing, warm, and very knowledgeable. She will happily answer questions, offer suggestions and do whatever she can to make you feel at home. The Leaba's charming open plan kitchen and communal dining area is the heart of the home and where Mo greets you each morning with her passionately prepared breakfast including home baked goods, a variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, granola, yogurt as well as hot items served on sharing plates. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Mo and Vin are such lovely hosts — so warm and welcoming! It almost feels like visiting old friends. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding, featuring locally sourced specialities. The rooms were nicely designed and had great bathrooms.

Our bedroom was a little small for two large suitcases, but there are rooms of different sizes.

Breakfast was excellent every morning, and our host Mo served us like royalty. She is exceptional and a great host! We enjoyed talking with her and her husband about what we did every day we were there. She had a lot of good suggestions that we put into our itinerary.

The property was absolutely beautiful. The rooms and common areas are decorated with such style and creativity. We were made to feel so very welcome and truly spoiled by the hospitality and amazing breakfast. We loved sampling foods from the immediate area and learning about the local area from people who have such passion for it. The views were amazing and the location was central to many beautiful locations. Mo is an amazing host and our stay at Leaba was the absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland

Everything was excellent.

Gréât location Amazing view Nice room Delicious breakfast Nice welcoming

Nothing

Leaba b and b host Mo went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her cooking and all amenities were excellent and the house was very welcoming with great views of the bay

A beautiful house with a sea view. Very lovingly and stylishly furnished. Everything is in mint condition and super clean. Mo is a fantastic host. She is very welcoming and has great tips for excursions and places to eat. The breakfast is perfect. All regional products, and Mo will prepare delicious eggs with vegetables. I could go on raving forever because it was just so wonderful. We would definitely come back again and stay longer.

Mo was an excellent host on all counts!

the property is in a stunning location with great views overlooking the bay. The accommodation was excellent. Our room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was a smorgasbord of delight made from a variety local produce. A very special thank-you to our hostess, Mo who was extremely welcoming and attentive.

Mo is possibly the best host in Ireland. Leaba is truly a gem. We felt like being home during our three-night-stay. We had a bit of a cold during our stay and Mo delivered fantastic fresh Lemon-Ginger-Honey-Tea. Breakfast was very creative and super tasty. Keep it up, Mo!

nothing…at most that we only stayed for three nights.

This is a very, very special B&B experience. We loved everything about our stay at Leaba B&B, from Mo’s warm welcome, our beautiful, well appointed room facing the bay and beyond and the absolutely amazing breakfast. Mo and Vinnie’s home is lovely with a separate wing for guests and a huge open kitchen and dining area all facing the water. There was a Nespresso-like coffee maker in the room with coffee pods replenished daily, along with crisps and Lorge chocolate from the region. The bathroom includes hand and body soaps, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion all from the region. There is a rain shower with plenty of hot water to enjoy at the end of a busy day exploring this beautiful part of Ireland. Mo is a huge promoter of West Cork, not only places to explore but also regional produce which she includes in her massive breakfast spread. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience Leaba B&B.

Absolutely nothing.

We had a superb experience at Leaba. Our very comfortable upstairs room had a bonus mezzanine sitting area outside it but we barely used it as we were always made welcome in the huge beautiful open plan sitting room / kitchen by our wonderful hosts who made us feel like old friends rather than paying guests. It is in a very good location minutes from Glengarriff with very fine views of the coast. The delicious breakfasts with a wide variety of fresh quality ingredients both hot and cold served with the flair of a talented cook will be unforgettable. We hope to stay again soon.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable, amazing view, incredibly welcoming host and the best breakfast imaginable (with all local produce and some of the irish best cheeses)

Nothing

Absolutely spectacular!!! hands down my best bed and breakfast stay for my travels. The kindness and genuine hospitality Mo and Vinny share from the moment you arrive, day in and day is what made the stay so special and memorable. The house is beautiful, rooms are clean and comfortable with a style that is chic, elegant and unique. The ocean view is stunning and picturesque. To truly feel as welcomed as my niece and I both felt is what a holiday is all about and will be forever remembered. Thanks to both of you for an amazing stay! We will miss the best breakfast and will be dreaming about it.

Everything

Amazing artisan breakfast sourced locally, together with healthy drink of Pyter Berries, homemade breads/scones/croissants in Mo’s wonderful bright kitchen/dining area with the most gorgeous view.

We could not fault this property

The location of Leaba was scenic with the view over the bay. The sunsets were stunning. The whole time with Mo at Leaba was a lovely sensory experience. The bedroom was beautifully furnished and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was AMAZING! The presentation was so beautiful and inviting. Mo provided the opportunity to enjoy the local Irish products: cheeses, meats, breads. Fresh homemade croissants, mackerel pate, muesli, and frittata were available. In addition, eggs, asparagus and grilled tomatoes were served. It was such an unexpected and beautiful experience to start the day. We are SO grateful for everything that Mo did to make our stay so memorable.

There is NOTHING that could've improved our stay. Mo was such a lovely generous host who provided such a memorable experience in our visit to Ireland.

The most generous hosts we have ever encountered, truly focused on enhancing each guest’s interests. The breakfasts were a culinary delight. We are accustomed to small breakfasts but ate a huge amount here as everything was over the top delicious. Our room was lovely and comfortable. The home was an art feast for our eyes.

The only thing we disliked was that we are not permanently there.

Mo and Vinny were wonderful hosts. We received such a warm welcome and fantastic hosting throughout our stay. The breakfast spread was exceptional - all local produce. I especially loved the drunk syrupy orange segments and mackerel pate on toast. Mo helped us plan our days exploring the area, giving us wonderful local recommendations. The bed was comfortable, powerful rainfall shower with views over bantry bay from bed. By the end of our stay we felt like members of the family. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Nothing

Mo was an excellent hostess. We were offered tea and biscuits on arrival. Mo had a great knowledge of the area, which she shared with us. Breakfast was a wonderful mix of homemade and locally grown produce. We would highly recommend Leaba.

Honestly there was nothing about Leaba we didn't like.

host immensamente ospitale e discreta

nulla!

Superb hosts

We had to leave

Mo was welcoming and extremely helpful, with lots of local knowledge and advice of where to find interesting excursions and activities. She is a warm and friendly person, and welcomed us with a pot of tea and delicious chocolate biscuits after our long journey. The breakfast was superb, very fresh fruit, home-made muesli, hams, cheeses, condiments, selection of breads, rolls, patisserie, all locally produced. She makes amazing tortilla plus the traditional fried breakfast if wanted. The house is immaculate with a panoramic view of the bay from the lounge area picture windows. We will definitely be back!

Upstairs room shower (it is being changed)

Our hostess was very accommodating and helpful. She went out of her way to ensure our comfort and her breakfasts were amazing. The airbnb was beautiful and had a great view of the ocean. It was accessible to the places we wanted to visit.

We had no complaints. There is nothing to mention. it was amazing.

One of the best guest Houses we have ever stayed in,,Mo is exceptional host she just couldn't do enough for us on our two night stay ,we would highly recommend staying here you won't be disappointed thanks again

A gem of a b&b run by the wonderful Mo. Lovely room, fab shower, INCREDIBLE breakfast (best ever in a b&b) and great recommendations from our host to explore the beautiful Beara peninsula. Highly recommend Leaba. Book yourselves in. Quickly. Very soon there will be a waiting list :-).

Nada.

We had a fantastic time at Mo's place. We will really miss the daily chats at the breakfast table. Mo was incredibly attentive and helped us plan our trip with great tips on what to visit and the best restaurants to try. She even did some calls to get us in a whale watching boat trip. Super hospitable! You immediately feel at home, which is very rare. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choices, all freshly made with local products. The super hip and trendy interior gives off boutique hotel vibes. In short: the best stay we've had in ages! We would definitely come back.

Great location. Spectacular views. The most charming place we’ve ever stayed in. Breakfast was especially delicious with lots of locally sourced produce.

Where to start… Mo was the most attentive, lovely and kind host during our entire vacation. We felt at home from the very first minute, because Mo is such an open and warm-hearted person, who always give 100% for her guests. We also loved her two dogs and my boyfriend is still mad because he was not allowed to take the bassett hound home 😝 Mo‘s home is so beautiful and perfectly situated with a view of the sea from our lovingly decorated room and also from the shared living room. The rooms are super clean and everything is just perfectly elaborated. This was the first B&B with a makeup remover cloth which was super pleasant on the skin. The bed was very comfortable and the rain shower in the morning was a perfect way to start the day. Mo made the most wonderful breakfast. It was not just some scones from the supermarket. No. The food was homemade and most of the delicious products where local products. We are from switzerland and my boyfriend is tricky when it comes to cheese in other countries, but he loved the selection of cheese. We really did not want to leave the breakfast table. When we came back in the evening, Mo gave us a warm welcome and made me the best irish coffee I‘ve ever tasted. We sat in the cosy lounge with the best view on the sea and had great conversations with Mo and the other guests. These where the best evenings for our whole trip. We also received wonderful tips for the region and Mo helped me booking a trip to skellig which was wonderful. All in all, we had a wonderful time. Thank you so much Mo! You have just started beeing a host but it feels like you have been doing it for ages. Thank you for everything. We will definitely come back.

Our stay was way too short 😉

Mo and Vinny were the most amazing hosts. Such a kind and warm welcome, a spotless room and B&B and every detail attended to. Loved the furnishings and style, the breakfast was amazing and Mo even went out of her way to prepare an early morning car picnic for us as we were checking out super early to head home.

Absolutely nothing - it was a complete haven and a joy.

From the home made scones to the warm plates the breakfast was exceptional. The property itself is absolutely stunning in design , location and cleanliness. Mo is a fountain of Knowledge, jolly and obliging of every request . This really is an exceptional property in every way . Mo’s husband Vinny is equally accommodating as are the extended family . This isn’t a stay or stop over, it’s a visit with old friends. Fantastic.

The only part of the stay that we didn’t like was the leaving .

Mo was an amazing host. We did not want to leave! Everything exceeded our expectations. The breakfasts were phenomenal. The location and views were spectacular. Mo is very knowledgable about the area and has perfect suggests for daily outings. I cannot wait to return.

Beautiful house, beautiful location and beautiful host. Mo was the best host one could possibly hope for.

N/A

Probably the best B&B I have stayed in by far

Nothing. We just didn’t stay there long enough !

Mo takes hospitality and caring to a whole new level! I've never encountered anything like this before. We had a blast of a stay, a lot of laughts and, let's nog forget the brilliant breakfast. Thank you very much, it truly felt like home!

First and foremost, the hosts are amazing people! I’d give 15 stars if I could. We just loved the property, the views, the comfortable and well appointed rooms and beds. The breakfasts were just the most incredible we’ve ever had. This was a great central location to explore West Cork peninsulas and the Ring of Kerry. You won’t find a better value.

It was perfect- not the slightest complaint.

The proprietor Mo was wonderful. From assisting with our very late arrival to service way-beyond throughout ,just impeccable. When we saw this property had a 10.0 rating we were sceptical but it turned out to be a real gem and fully justifying that score. Rare indeed these days ! Gordon and Madeleine

having to leave

Everything was really great. The B&B is really lovely, everything is clean and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was homemade with local products and our hosts were amazing. And of cours the location is really stunning.

Everything. Mo could not have done more for us. We traveled down for the Ring of Beara cycle and having been soaked during the day, Mo had loads of hot water and food waiting for us when we arrived. The night we arrived a lovely and tasty Irish coffee was offered and gratefully received. The room was super comfortable and inviting with a large bathroom and dresser with coffee, tea and snacks. I would highly recommend this for a Cork/Kerry base.

Nothing, loved it. The house is stunning, the host is super friendly and welcoming and will always seek to make sure that your needs are met.

The owner of this incredible and beautiful B+B is doing such an incredible job; we loved our stay there and wished for more time. The comfort and quality of the rooms/beds/home is that of high-end luxury, and the food was locally sourced and delicious! Furthermore, the owner went above and beyond to help us with dinner reservations, local travel planning and ideas, and just warm and friendly conversation and interactions. The entire experience of the stay makes you truly feel like your staying with friends or family in a beautiful and well-stocked home. We cannot wait to go back to Leaba again!

Everything was perfect; we had zero complaints.

Beautiful, comfortable and friendly space that was immaculate in every possible way. We are so glad we decided to stay at Glengarriff and #blessed that we found Leaba. Mo and Vinny took such great care of us and gave recommendations for the most amazing local spots for food and exploring. Mo is also the Queen of Breakfast and quiet possibly the best breakfast designer in the northern hemisphere.

Overall fantastic experience! Super hosts, breakfast was fab, a lot of attention to detail and passion! View overlooking the Atlantic was spectacular. We highly recommend Leaba AirBnB and I will surely come back.

Great place. Lovely views, great ambiance.
