Utterly gorgeous little shop in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it roadside location in West Cork. They had…read morea little sign up along the way informing us that they had placed second (I think) in the Irish Times "best shop in the country" category, so I thought I'd pull over and have a look in on my way back home after passing through the village of Leap. The shop itself is actually quite large inside, with three separate rooms. Each room is decorated and carefully curated to show their lovely, quality, eclectic stock. It's really a homewares store I suppose, with lots of lovely unique piece. The lady I spoke to (I'm guessing the owner) was extremely friendly and helpful and encouraged us to have a good browse. I literally wanted to buy everything in the shop! She informed us then that they also have a website which you can order from (YAY). 100% worth a look if you are in the area!

There was a huge selection of knit and woven goods, including some very soft blankets that were woven and felted on site. The sweater selection was less than some nearby outlets but quality was great. There was also a much more varied selection of yarn. The ladies were nice and chatty as we picked what we needed and checked out. When she learned that I wanted to attempt my first knit project with one of the hanks, she even found some needles to gift me! The store handled VAT and shipping, so it was very easy to buy things and send home without worrying about customs or duty free counters at the airport.

I immediately contacted my bank to cancel the card. I then contacted Skellig and asked them to cancel the order. They refused, even after I explained the situation. They said the order had already been shipped. I highly doubt that. I told them if they shipped it I would not accept delivery which I did not. My credit card company issued me a temporary credit. Two months later they called me back and said that Skellig denied receiving the return sweater, and that I would have to pay the full amount over $100. So now I have no sweater and still have to pay for it because Skellig lied.

He is a bottlenose dolphin that was first documented in the area about 32 years ago and lives in close contact to humans.

There is pretty Celtic jewelry, accessories, cards and so mush more for competitive prices. This shop is very much like the other souvenir shops in the area. They all carry the same or similar looking merchandise. What puts this shop above the others is its charm and exceptional customer service.

A Heartfelt Shoutout to Máura Burke!…read more I just had the most wonderful shopping experience thanks to Máura at the store! While browsing for an Aran Crafts sweater, I was greeted by her warm and friendly smile that instantly made me feel welcome. From the moment I walked in, Máura went above and beyond to understand what I was looking for. I shared my budget and preferences, and she listened attentively before offering me a couple of stunning options. I immediately fell in love with a beautiful side zip hoodie featuring a heart pull zipper--absolute perfection! What truly stood out was the genuine care Máura showed throughout the process. There was zero pressure to buy, just pure enthusiasm for helping me find something special. It's rare to encounter such phenomenal customer service that makes you feel appreciated as a customer! Thanks to Máura, I walked away with a sweater that I absolutely adore! Thank you for making my shopping experience so memorable.

After a couple visits to and weeks spent in Ireland, I decided it was one of the better places I came across to buy higher-end, traditional, non-touristy souvenirs and gifts. Many items for sale in the craft shop are made on-site by traditional artisans. Beautiful weaving such as scarves, sweaters, wraps, hats, and gloves in gorgeous colors and soft fabrics. Pottery in the traditional Mucros style with its distinct coloring and markings: platters, creamers, mugs, bowls, candlesticks. Also offered in the Craft Shop are coffee table books, jewelry, children's toys, traditional Irish fare, Irish music...you can find yourself a souvenir to treasure as well as gifts to bring home that are sure to be well-received by loved ones. Prices here are really reasonable, too, all things considered. Naturally, you can visit the Craft Shop without having to pay entry fees to the grounds!
