Wooden beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and a wood burner make this cosy cottage an excellent base for eight guests and one canine companion to explore the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in County Cork. Set in the small village of Ahakista, between Durrus and Kilcrohane, you’ll be within easy reach of the sea (less than 0.25 miles) while staying in a tranquil and rural location. Visit the nearby historical Ahakista Stone Circle (1 mile) head to Golden Strand Beach (2 miles) and stroll along the rugged coastline. Set off on an adventure to scenic Tooreen Turning Point (10 miles) or check out the shops and restaurants in the town of Bantry (12 miles).
As you approach this tucked-away two-storey cottage you’ll notice the thriving nature around you. Step inside to find a snug, comfortable lounge with neutral-toned decor, wooden beamed ceilings, and an eye-catching open fire in an exposed stone fireplace. Here you can unwind while snuggled up on the sofa in front of a movie. Continue into the farmhouse-style kitchen with blue tones throughout and wooden worktops. Cook a feast on the AGA-style stove and tuck in while gathered around the wooden table in the dining room. There are four bedrooms with characterful, antique-style furnishings – consisting of a double and three twin rooms. Completing the interior are two bathrooms and one shower room.
Outside you’ll find a partially enclosed garden where Fido can stretch their legs while you relax on the patio furniture. At the bottom of the garden, you’ll be delighted to find a stream.
