Full Google Business Profile setup capturing local and map-based searches — essential for guests planning on the go.

The Project
A place this special,
deserved a website to match.
Cormac and Mary had something genuinely special on their hands — a beautifully restored 1800s farmhouse in the Cousane Gap near Bantry, with a private sauna, hot tub and mountain views that guests come back for again and again.
The problem: no website that could communicate any of it. Guests were arriving through OTAs at a commission cost that made no sense for a property with this much to offer a direct booker.
The goal was a photography-first site that could capture the feeling of Shantalla before a guest had even made an enquiry — and convert that feeling into a direct booking.
