The Dancing Piccolo - Your valley hide-away near Glengarriff

Over the hills and far away… welcome to The Dancing Piccolo, your hidden retreat near Glengarriff. Named after the Irish piccolo — a slender wooden flute whose bright, nimble notes dance through the valleys — this shepherd’s hut offers a tranquil, airy escape in the heart of the valley.
Step out your door onto the Beara Way for soul-stirring hikes, lose yourself in ancient woodlands, or uncover hidden gems just around the corner. When adventure calls, beautiful day trips are a drive away.

The hut is brand new luxury residence, complete with a working kitchen, bathroom with hot shower and comfy double bed. Expect to find a perfect romantic hideaway, a beautiful environment and amazing views!

You will have private access to your own hut, terrace, and parking area.

There is another house on the property which is also rented out. This house and its garden are not accessible during your stay. Instead, you’ll have an entire area to yourself, completely private and for your use only.

Please note that the property is primarily intended for guests seeking peace and nature. Parties and gatherings are not allowed. The accommodation is less suitable for young children.

Self check-in is possible via a key lockbox, and you will receive the code in advance. There are no supermarkets within walking distance, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead for groceries before you arrive.

There is no television in the accommodation. This is a conscious choice to help you truly unwind and disconnect. However, there is a reliable WiFi connection should you wish to stay connected.

You’ll find a selection of books and board games, as well as a curated list of local gems – including beautiful hikes and special places to explore in the area.
