Practical information

Subject to availability our cottages are available for care retreats throughout the year. A three bedroom cottage with a large open living room. This cottage sleeps six people and is ideal for those who want to come with family, friends or carers. It is wheelchair accessible and is fitted with a disability bathroom.

A small self-contained studio apartment, ideal for a quiet break for a couple or single person. Both cottages are situated in the heart of the centre with spectacular views of the ocean, within 100 metres from the shrine room. Full catering is available. Although we are not able to offer nursing or medical care at the moment, we will do our best to offer you the care you need.

There is daily practice in the shrine room that you can join and we are happy to offer additional meditation instruction and support. We run a regular programme of weekend and week long retreats and you may wish to plan your stay to coincide with one of these.

The cost of care breaks depends on the levels of support and care offered. For those unable to meet the full cost bursaries are available. If you would like to know more about care retreats for you or your family, or would like information about sponsoring others please contact Ally Cassidy at Dzogchen Beara: +353 (0)27 73959 or email ireland@spcare.org.
