This captivating, two-storey cottage sits in a secluded valley on the north side of the rugged Sheep’s Head Peninsula. Offering a breathtaking setting for small families or space-seeking couples, the stone cottage offers easy access to cultural, historical, and natural attractions. County Cork’s rugged coast awaits just 500 metres away from the cottage, meaning scenic hikes and bike rides are made easy for outdoor-loving guests. Within just 10 miles are three delightful villages, all boasting local shops and a warm, Irish welcome – Kilcrohane, Ahakista, and Durrus. Keen anglers will enjoy a trip to Glanroom Pier (500 metres) where you can easily pass an afternoon beside the crystal-clear waters. With beaches, golf courses and other attractions all along the route to the vibrant town of Bantry (15 miles), a morning or afternoon of fun is never far away.

The cottage is accessed off a winding, very rural Irish country road that leads to a narrow, gated driveway. On arrival, before walking in, take a moment to appreciate the charming surroundings of tall trees that hide this remote, stone-built gem. Step inside the welcoming cottage and be greeted by the warm embrace of the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which catches the eye thanks to the exposed stone walls and wooden beams. Settle down in the comfortable lounge space that beckons relaxation with its soft seating and flame-effect electric fire – a peaceful spot in which to start and end each day. When stomachs start to rumble, walk through to the traditional kitchen where you’ll find all you need to whip up a memorable Irish dinner, perhaps using the ingredients you’ve sourced during your day out. Gather at the dining table in here, or head out to the tranquil patio to dine alfresco. When day turns to night, find two sumptuous bedrooms; both with double beds and served by the well-appointed shower room that completes the interior.

Outside, the inviting, circular patio and bistro-style table and chairs offer the perfect spot for al fresco meals on sunny afternoons and balmy evenings. Sit here, with a drink in hand, enjoying the verdant surroundings as little ones play in the lawned garden just beyond. With flower beds and trees filling the garden, it’s a most tranquil space to bask in the sun and enjoy the fresh, Irish air.
