Perched on a beautiful, rural peninsula just under 3 miles from the village amenities of Rosscarbery, this traditional farmhouse and smaller, detached dwelling offer the perfect accommodation for a group of friends or family. Find a convenience shop, pubs and eateries in Rosscarbery, as well as a water sports activity centre. More eateries and a gorgeous harbour can be found at Glandore (4.5 miles). Enjoy a 200-metre stroll from the properties to reach the craggy coast, or amble along to the nearby secluded cove (1.5 miles). The coast and countryside of West Cork is yours to explore, with tidal inlets and fine sandy beaches, as well as the opportunity to spot dolphins and whales on local whale-watching trips. For more amenities, socialising and sightseeing, head to the market town of Skibbereen (11 miles). Fill your holiday itinerary with activities including sea angling, boat trips, cycling and horse riding, as well as day trips to the nearby islands. There is a choice of golf clubs and pitch and putt within 15 miles.

These two properties offer the perfect solution for a group looking to enjoy their own privacy. Up to six guests can be accommodated in the farmhouse which has a traditional feel with contemporary touches. Socialise in the large kitchen with electric AGA range cooker, and a handy table for breakfast, while a further dining area, and a lounge with comfortable seating arranged around the wood burner offer more space for relaxation. A utility room with washing machine and dryer helps make light work of holiday chores. There’s a downstairs shower room for added convenience. Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a single are serviced by a generous family bathroom. The smaller, detached property next to the farmhouse sleeps two in a comfortable double bed upstairs, where you’ll also find access off the bedroom to a small, sunny balcony with seating, and a bathroom.
