About this property
Clondrohid 2.7 miles. Nestled on the outskirts of Curra, a stone’s throw away from the village of Clondrohid, rests this traditional holiday home, Lehane's Cottage. Enveloped by the scenic countryside of County Cork, on the grounds of the owner’s home, Lehanes Cottage offers an idyllic base for a small family looking to explore this captivating part of southwest Ireland. Stepping into the property you’ll be delighted by the rustic interior, traditionally decorated with open rafters and exposed stonework surrounding a charming woodburning stove, inviting you to nestle in on the sofa and enjoy a spot of television after a day of adventure. Head through to the pint-sized kitchen to prepare a heart-warming meal and gather your loved ones around the dining table to indulge in some overdue quality time together. Climb the stairs where you’ll find two beautifully presented bedrooms, a double and a twin, where you can rest your eyes under the intimate setting of the sloped ceiling ahead of another fun-filled day. In the morning, prepare for a new day with a rejuvenating rinse in the shower, fueling with a cup of coffee and leisurely seat in the garden, soaking in the remarkable views across the neighbouring countryside. Head out for the evening and venture into the nearby village of Clondrohid, where you can indulge in a pint of Guinness, in traditional Irish fashion, at The Clondrohid Tavern, and if you time it right, you might even catch a spot of live music or a game of sport on the big screen! Further afield is the market town of Macroom, boasting a selection of shopping opportunities and eateries to suit all tastes, along with the remains of the 12th century Macroom Castle, built to guard the ford across the River Sullane. Within an hours drive is the popular town of Killarney with traditional pubs, fine restaurants and shops, and nearby is Macgillycuddy Reeks, Ireland’s largest mountain range. With all of this and more, make unforgettable memories with a stay at Lehane's Cottage.

Very responsive in case of questions or advice. The accommodation is comfortable with a slightly old-fashioned charm. Nice setting, just a few minutes' drive from the shops, which is a big advantage.

It has a great woodburner stove in the sitting room, which was great as our stay was over a very cold weekend. No negatives, really. The bathroom was across a cold hallway, and there were a few things that would have been useful in the kitchen, such as a grater, colander, and a working corkscrew ... first world problems! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

My husband who is an electrician was mortified to see coiled electrical wire on the lounge wall. This is a dangerous hazard!! Sofa very badly stained, and needs replacing. No gutters by front door, so when we entered the property, it was like a waterfall. Especially, when the door itself was very stiff, and difficult to shut. We were unfortunate to have stormy and wet weather during our stay. However, we left early, as it was not comfortable in the damp weather. On a positive note, the bedrooms were comfortable, and communication with owners was positive. We have stayed many times with Sykes cottages, and this is far by the worse cottage we have stayed. We can't believe Sykes would allow this cottage to be listed, with as high a recommendation - have they actually visited? I feel these are fair comments.
