An unique place with a strong atmosphere and stunning views over the Atlantic. The cutest baby lambs, that you got to not only cuttle, but also bottle-feed are an unforgettable experience! And the genuine 1500 year old beehive huts, built just by stone with no mortar or anything else are really impressive! And when you think those were the ordinary people's houses... Absolutely great!

Great stop on our tour, be sure to bring some cash for the $4 euro entry fee. Some beehive huts on the property plus a little barn where you can go and be with the lambs. We also were able to bottle feed some lambs while we were there. Very nice people. There is some parking and facilities there as well as outstanding views of the sea

Ok this was SO fun! The lambs are so adorable and friendly, they seem happy here! We got to pay by card as well. As a history lover and Star Wars fan, the beehive huts were really cool to see and the views from this place are stunning. For what you get, the price is great! One of our favorite things we did on our Ireland roadtrip! Unlike some other guest reviews, we were unsupervised with the lambs and not told how to interact or hold them, and so were some children who came in the same time as us.

Love the baby lambs they’re so so adorable!! But pls pls be careful when playing and don’t drop the baby lambs when you pick them up!! (There was an injured baby lamb bc of that so heartbreaking) Otherwise such a great experience to play with baby lambs and grown sheep! (bring cash, $4 per person which is really reasonable)a welcoming hosts!

I discovered Hold A Baby Lamb on Instagram and instantly knew I wanted to visit. We came from our home in Michigan to spend a couple of months in West Cork. Took a trip to the Dingle Peninsula to drive the stunning Slea Head route AND to visit the lambs and beehive huts. Just 4 euros apiece to cuddle lambs and see the ancient beehive huts. LOVED my time with the baby lambs! And the ancient huts have weathered the centuries. They’re right behind the lamb shed, so it’s very easy to see those.

A worthy stop on the Dingle peninsula/Slae Head Drive. For a few euro you get to play with some adorable lambs, and see some ruins if you like. Views from the little parking area are nice, it's an easy laid back place, and we got to pet a couple fully grown sheep as well.

Outstanding beauty. So this drive is mostly single lane. Take care. It really is a fantastic drive. It’s a top gear drive if you watch the show. Unmissable. Had a coffee at stone house restaurant coffee bar. There are public toilets here as well. Just behind the gift shop.

The lambs were so cute, staff was friendly and able to access the lambs pretty quickly despite it being moderately busy. About 4€ to hold them.. also sheep available we happened to go during feeding them so they gave us a bottle to feed the lambs!!

The name says it all! 🙂 great owners who are warm and welcoming. The baby lambs are so cute and the farm is great. Additionally there are ancient “beehive” huts to visit too. These are where monks lived centuries ago. Must do stop if you are in the area!!
