Description

Nestled within peaceful West Cork countryside near Lough Hyne, this delightful cottage is perfect for a romantic retreat or an intimate family bolthole with older children. Set on the owner’s hobby farm yet enjoying its own privacy, guests can explore the owner’s gardens and summer house or venture to Lough Hyne (1 mile). Enjoy lakeside and woodland walks or hop on a kayak to explore the water; special night trips are available to see the bioluminescence. The historic fishing village of Baltimore (2.5 miles) is the final stop on the Wild Atlantic Way. Here you can go sailing or kayaking, take boat trips to go deep sea fishing or visit Carbery’s Hundred Islands, and taste fresh seafood in local pubs and restaurants.

Lovingly refurbished, this gorgeous cottage blends traditional cottage-style decor with an eco-friendly outlook, with the central heating and hot water supplied by wood pellet burners and solar panels. Set on a flagstone floor, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the heart of this home. This warm and welcoming room has a fitted, cottage-style kitchen, a farmhouse-style dining table, and an inviting lounge with deep seating, a wood burner, a TV and a little nook filled with books and games. When it’s time to rest your head, get comfy under the covers of the ground-floor double bedroom or venture upstairs to the pretty single bed set in an open loft space. A ground-floor bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower offers a refreshing start to your day.

Make the most of warm weather in the pretty cottage garden, which features a gravel area and a lawn with a choice of outdoor seating and a BBQ.

Reviews

We've been self-catering in Ireland for more than 40 years. Once or twice every year and this property is one of the best we've stayed in. The hosts are lovely. The cottage was perfect in every way.

Mr C,

We loved our week at Knockanoulty Cottage. Everything was excellent.

Ms G,

Very good welcome , quiet place in a rural location. Good advice from the landlord for walking around. Weather permitted to enjoy outdoor table and chairs for 5 o' clock tea after à good day. No dryer but equipment ( indoor and outdoor) to have the cloches dry.

Mr T,

My wife and I spent a lovely week in this beautiful cottage, which is well located near Lough Hyne and not too far from Baltimore and Skibbereen. The cottage, which is beautifully furnished and well equipped, is a very comfortable place to relax and unwind and we felt very much at home there. The owners are lovely: very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We certainly hope to be able to return in the future.

Mr O C,
