Description

Set upon 15 acres of land, and with far-reaching views over Dunmanus Bay and the peninsulas of Sheep's Head and Beara, this gorgeous detached home offers idyllic accommodation for large groups of nature lovers. It’s in a completely secluded spot right at the end of a road on the stunning Mizen Head Peninsula — fantastic if you cherish privacy — and surrounded by a gorgeous rugged landscape. With space for up to 16 guests, it’s a wonderful base for a multi-generational family holiday or a trip among friends and their children.

The inside of this spectacular home features lots of elegant wood, with ceiling panels, flooring, furniture and doors all crafted from the natural material. You’ll have a huge amount of space for your group to spread out, starting with the generously sized lounge, which has a cosy open fire and French doors leading to a lovely conservatory with slate flooring. Large windows and high ceilings throughout create a spacious and airy feel, while decorative touches include brightly painted walls, plants, bucolic artwork and taxidermy. You’ll have five bedrooms along with a dormitory accessed via a narrow staircase, which doubles as a games room – fantastic for children and teens. Outside, there’s a decked area and grounds extending to a rocky, unfenced shoreline featuring a blow hole. The sauna will surely be the icing on the cake for your restorative Irish trip.

You’ll be 3 miles from the charming village of Goleen, offering convenient access to local shops, pubs and restaurants during your stay. The hidden gem of Canty’s Cove is just 1.5 miles away, a lovely spot for taking a dip in crystal-clear waters. Excellent beaches nearby include Barley Cove (7 miles) and Crookhaven (6.5). The well-known fishing village and sailing centre of Schull (10.5 miles) offers an 18-hole golf course, water sports, horse riding and ferry trips to Cape Clear and the surrounding islands – so much to choose from!

Reviews

I recommend it if there are a lot of young children in the mix. It's perfect for a children & parents gathering. We loved the dinning room off the kitchen for the adults evening meal. Beds were double rather then Queen or King sized but comfortable. We loved the space in the garden for wonderful play time/ and large family B. Q' The house could benefit from a deep cleaning once in a while, as it's hard to get to this in a few hours when the house is cleaned for a turn around lettings . The caretakers did a great job but its in need of a bit of money spent on it as its tired. We will be back with our gang again for sure, the space is great and the area is amazingly beautiful.

Ms K,

This is a fabulous houese in a stunning location. Once here, you can relax all day and simply soak up the relaxing atmosphere of this peaceful and scenic location. All three spaceous bedrooms on the ground floor have a dedicated bathroom/showerroom, one of which is ensuite. Yet another contains a sauna. Elsewhere the ground floor the wide atrium gives access between the kitchen, dining room and sitting room. All the rooms are so spaceous there is plenty of space for everyone. The lounge or sitting room give access to the fourth bedroom with ensuite on the first floor. There is also a mezanaine above the sitting room with a full size snooker table. Meanwhile, in the wing containing the ground floor bedrooms therre is access to a first floor dormitary for anothe six guests which in our case was ideally suitable for our forur grandchildren. All in all, this is a fabulous holiday home, in a stunning location with marvelous scenery and well worth coming to stay herre. We definitely intend to come back next year. We would like to pay special thanks to Catherine, the caretaker, who was on call to help us deal with any issues that arose.

Mr S,

Wonderful location, perfect for watching wildlife, for example birds, dolphins and seals in front of the house by the cliffs

Mrs J,

Wonderful, peaceful location for a quiet interlude. Probably the most impressive library of any vacation rental we have seen. The book on the history of the north Mizen area was particularly interesting. The caretaker, was terrific.
