About this property

A delightful semi-detached cottage situated in rural Cork, just 6 miles from Skibbereen. Full of charming character with a cosy woodburner in the sitting room, and a large kitchen with dining area, this property offers well-equipped and comfortable accommodation. For those sunny Irish afternoons there is also a unique viewing spot across the sea to Heir Island at the top of the garden. With Skibbereen's sandy beaches, colourful shops and pubs just 6 miles away, there is plenty to do for all the family, including the Heritage Centre, fascinating West Cork Arts Centre, a superb golf course and an indoor sports centre. Heir Island is within easy reach via a 5 minute boat journey from the nearby Cunnamore Point and offers a unique day out with breathtaking landscapes, walking, cycling and the celebrated Island Cottage restaurant. Slightly further via boat or road is the harbour town of Baltimore, extremely popular for water sports, dolphin and whale watching and its many shipwrecks.

You'll be guaranteed a warm welcome by the inhabitants of the town of Skibbereen. Located at the heart of some of Ireland's most stunning scenery, the town prides itself on its wonderful local produce, and its bustling weekly country and farmers markets showcase the delicious local fare. Sandy beaches, secluded coves, rivers, lakes, hills and forests are all within easy reach and there are incredible dolphin and whale watching opportunities available. This unspoilt area of West Cork also offers the West Cork Arts Centre and Skibbereen Heritage Centre, a superb 18-hole golf course and an indoor sports centre with a fully equipped gym. The picturesque destinations of Leap and Rosscarbery overlooking the ruggedly beautiful West Cork coastline are easy to reach, as are Ballydehob, Schull and Bantry.
