Winter days are Here

Hello from Gougane Barra where we are very excited to be getting in touch with you in the run up to Christmas and to give you an update of life in the valley.The hotel is closed  for the winter and Gougane Barra is very quiet. We went for a walk on one of the trails in the forest park this morning and we didn’t meet one person during our outing. The wildlife are enjoying the quiet and are more visible this time of year. The hares were hopping about and small birds were busy foraging and singing, even the white tailed eagle was going about his business in the blue sky and yet it was quiet enough to hear a sheep bleat from the mountains.After that it was coffee and a busy office with guests planning their next visit, buying Canvasses of Gougane and booking lunch for when we are open in April… There is never a dull moment in Gougane Barra!
