Description

Just a short distance from the picture-perfect village of Glengarriff on Bantry Bay, this cute, contemporary cottage is sure to delight. Sleeping four guests across two double bedrooms, it’s ideal for romantic retreats, a family holiday, or an overdue getaway with friends. Located among a small cluster of houses backing onto woodland, this tranquil abode is perfectly placed for exploring the natural wonders and cultural gems of this section of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Cute as a button and cosy as can be, this two-bedroom cottage has a relaxed, rural elegance and has been thoughtfully furnished to resemble a true home from home. Flooded with natural light thanks to the large picture window, the lounge invites relaxation after a day of exploration. Next door, the modern, country-style kitchen has all the essentials for preparing delicious meals at home, including a farmhouse-style table for dining with your loved ones. Two cosy double bedrooms are located on the ground floor, sharing a well-appointed shower room, while there’s an additional WC for your comfort and convenience. Outside, the property is wrapped in a lawned garden with a small patio for dining alfresco.

Set in the shadow of West Cork’s Caha Mountains and overlooking Bantry Bay, Glengarriff (1.5 miles) is a small village with plenty of character. There’s a selection of shops, lively bars and eateries surrounded by woodland and rugged mountains.

Location

Reviews

The cottage was in a scenic location with a pleasant walk around the bay into the village, which contains more than enough friendly, good value drinking and eating places. The accommodation was comfortable and like a home from home. Everything we required was there and Angela, the neighbour and caretaker, was attentive and on hand is we had wanted anything. The location was convenient for touring and visiting attractions in the area. We have no problem in recommending this property.
