Set in an extraordinary location, this traditional farmhouse offers a secluded group retreat, embracing breathtaking panoramic views of the West Cork coastline stretching towards Galley Head. Tucked away at the end of a road on a small peninsula between the charming villages of Rosscarbery (3 miles) and Glandore (5 miles), the farmhouse provides convenient access to local shops and a variety of restaurants, and is 800m from the sea and the rugged coastline. Nearby opportunities for dolphin and whale watching trips add to the fun, and outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in a range of activities, including boat excursions, deep-sea fishing trips, and rounds of golf at nearby courses. The vibrant market town of Skibbereen is 9 miles away, and ferries to the islands are available in Baltimore, 18 miles from home.

The farmhouse's interior has been thoughtfully renovated and restored to preserve its original character and charm. The welcoming lounge/diner features a wood burner, creating a cosy ambience for sociable evenings at home. The kitchen boasts an electric AGA range cooker and everything you need to make meal times a breeze. A stylish shower room and a handy utility room complete the ground floor. A staircase leads upstairs to four beautifully light and airy bedrooms, three with double beds and one with a single bed, accompanied by a panelled family bathroom.

Outside, the delightful garden faces toward the cliff tops and has a patio area furnished for al fresco dining and enjoying your morning coffee.

Fantastic place but please dont rush to book it as otherwise it leaves fewer weeks for us to both enjoy it! Haha! Joking apart, the views, the place is breathtaking and of course not forgetting Paul and Zack. Communication with Andrew and everyone was absolutely superb too! See you soon, much love Ben & Bryony

This cottage is just perfect. The decor is very comfortable and there's everything you need. The view of the ocean is simply unbelievably beautiful, and we even saw dolphins from the window. I can highly recommend this house, it was the best I have ever stayed in in Ireland.

Perfect location for views of the sea and great access to what seems like your own private cove/beach.
