AboutOwner-run in Eyeries

A local's holiday park in Eyeries village.

Eyeries Holiday Park is run by Colman O'Sullivan, born and raised in the village, who guests describe as quick to help and happy to stop for a chat.

Our story

Built by an Eyeries man, in his own village

Colman O'Sullivan was born and raised in Eyeries and still lives in the village with his family. He has been developing and building locally for years, and his projects in the village sit together: Eyeries Holiday Park, which is mainly static mobile homes, the Motorhome Park alongside it, and the café at the entrance. Phase 2 of the holiday park is under construction now and open for enquiries.

The Motorhome Park was first listed on park4night in May 2018, and guests have watched it develop since. When early visitors asked for bins at the service point, the bins were in by that September. When houses were going up next door, the reviews said so; by 2026 the work was finished and reviewers were writing about quiet nights and WiFi that works across the whole site.

Motorhome check-in is at the café at the entrance, with a gate code and a few local tips to go with it. If the café is closed, call Colman on 086 220 8743 for the code. Visitors describe Colman as sound, helpful and quick to act on feedback, and one Campercontact guest remembered the owner coming over for a chat in the evening. Ask him where to walk and where to eat.

Why Eyeries

Small village, big welcome

A village that pulls together

Silver medallists in the 2024 National Tidy Towns Competition after more than 40 years of entering, and a Family Festival on the third weekend of July that was drawing close to 5,000 visitors a year by 2019. In Colman's words to the Southern Star in 2019: “Our community spirit here is second to none.”

The setting

The village sits at the foot of Maulin, the highest peak of the Slieve Miskish range, looking out over Coulagh Bay to the mountains of Kerry. The Wild Atlantic Way passes the door, and the sunsets across the bay are, in the village's own words, legendary.

A café at the gate

Beara Necessities Café and Wine Bar sits at the park entrance: breakfast, coffee and food, and it is where motorhome visitors check in. Visitors rate the food.

We listen

There has been a feedback form for guests since the early days, and the reviews show it gets read: a request for bins at the service point in June 2019 was met by that September. Suggestions are always welcome.

“We had a very peaceful two night stay. Clean, flat well maintained site. Easy walking distance to lovely village. The owner, Colman was very helpful. Bonus we had four friendly donkeys from the next field as neighbours.”

The village that backs us

Eyeries, two minutes on foot

Eyeries Motorhome and Holiday Park is how the village website, eyeries.ie, lists us, between O'Shea's Bar and Beara Necessities in its roll of village facilities. That site is run by the Eyeries Family Festival committee, the volunteers behind the third weekend in July and the Windows of Eyeries art trail. Eyeries Tidy Towns, another volunteer group, looks after the village and its surroundings and keeps it looking the way it does on the postcards.

Two pubs, Causkey's and O'Shea's, plus O'Sullivan's Foodstore and the Post Office and General Store
Two looped coastal walks start at O'Sullivan's Store and share stretches with the Beara Way
The Eyeries Eco Walk adds wildlife information boards along the Creha Quay loop
Bus 282 stops at Beara Necessities Café car park four times a day

Walking and cycling from the park

The Beara Way is a 206 km national waymarked trail that starts and ends in Glengarriff and passes through Eyeries, arriving from Allihies and continuing to Ardgroom. Both stages can be walked straight from the village, and the Ring of Beara and the Wild Atlantic Way run past the door.

Stage 4 Allihies to Eyeries, 16 km; Stage 5 Eyeries to Ardgroom, 19 km, both graded moderate
