The Courtmacsherry Hotel is a gem. Great Guinness, wonderful food and very friendly staff. If you want to meet the locals go to one of the pubs in the evening and have a sing with them.
We come back every year. See you in a few days!

I love the photo too AND the comments!!! QUESTION: Can anybody comment – I want to go with family (2 teenagers) and may a couple of other family members to EITHER Courtmacsherry or Rosscarbery for one month in June and get a feel for village life the best we can. DOES ANYONE HAVE A PREFERRED VILLAGE? Thanks..

lovely village, most locals are very nice. unfortuanatly lots of them talk behind your back (and in no small way either) SO WETHER YOU SPENT YOUR WELL EARNED MONEY SUPPORTING THE LOCAL BUSSINUSSES (beside 3 pubs 1 hotel and 1 small shop) no appreciation is left. when you come back next year they pretend to love you, but watch your back!!!

My wife and I visited Courtmacsherry in 1979 and were only going to stay one day. We ended up staying four. We had a great time. I am a singer of Irish songs, and I sang every night in Patsy Coveneys Bar (long renamed, I would think), and was received very well. This was one of my life’s ambitions, and was fulfilled wonderfully. Love to go back one day.

We first visited Courtmacsherry in 1994, staying in one the old Coastguard Cottages above the village. The views out across the bay were spectacular and the general surroundings so peaceful and quiet we began to return year after year. Now, years later we have a small house in the village and spend as much time there as possible, away from the hustle and bustle of City life in England.

Greeting someone with a “Hey, y’all,” alway invokes interest among the locals who are very interested in the fact that this is the most common greeting among the locals in Emerald Isle, NC. I must say, however, that the local knowledge of “grits and country ham” is truly woeful. ;0) Even though a Yankee transplant to Dixie, I have found the people in Courtmac very similar to my native Ohioans…willing to talk to anybody given the opportunity.(Jack Huber)

We have visited Courtmac since 2001 and have found this to be one of the most charming places in all of Ireland…so much so that if we could afford it, we would retire there! We have typically visited in late May-June and while there are not the high numbers of tourists, the local folks are quite open to conversation if one appears open to them. What we found that worked well for us is to visit the same pub during the week from about 9:30 on and we might meet some of the same folks making a friendly contact with repeated visits. Our origin from the South of the US(currently) makes it all the more likely to greet folks with a hello in passing on the street (singular). Please reconsider revisiting this most charming town and give it another chance. It’s too great an opportunity to pass.

Great shot! I noticed that you mentioned the annual horse racing on the beach. Do you happen to have any photos from this for us to view?
