This beautiful cottage in a tranquil location is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a base for the many outdoor adventures that await in the region. The village of Eyeries (1 mile) is renowned for its multi-coloured houses and panoramic views over the Atlantic; boasting two pubs, a shop, a cafe, and a restaurant. The beach at Travaud (4 miles) is sandy and perfect for walks, paddling and sandcastles. Walkers will love having access to the Beara Way, a 128-mile loop broken down into sections – take in the varied landscape along the route between Eyeries and Ardgroom. The busy fishing port of Castletownbere is 5.5 miles away, and you can play golf here, hike or walk in the rugged hills, or cross over to explore Bere Island. Heading south along the scenic Wild Atlantic Way, you reach Ballynacallagh (18.5 miles), where you can take the cable car to the wildlife haven of Dursey Island.
This charming cottage has been lovingly restored to blend character and charm with contemporary comforts and bold colours, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Step through the door, and you find a cosy sitting room, a comfortable space to unwind with a good book after a day in the elements. Adjoining this room is more space for relaxation, in the warming lounge, complete with inviting seating, a TV, and a crackling wood burner. When it’s time to eat, walk into the airy kitchen/diner, where you’ll find all you need to cook a memorable meal for the group, who can gather at the room’s dining table to enjoy the chef’s work. After dinner, head upstairs where you’ll find three pretty bedrooms, all with plenty of storage space and countryside views; a double bedroom and two twin rooms. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a well-appointed family bathroom, great for refreshing after a day’s walking.
Outside, take in the wonderful views from the verdant garden, and on warmer evenings, gather at the outside table and chairs to enjoy an evening tipple or al fresco meal.
