The two very large drawing reception rooms lead off one side of the hall. Divided by lofty double doors, the rooms span the southern façade of the house and share wonderful views of the garden through beautifully proportioned Georgian windows.

Marble fireplaces, sumptuous sofas, vintage furniture and Persian carpeted wide floorboards, evoke the understated elegance of Georgian living.

Also off the hallway, through classic double doors, is a snug oak-panelled study; book lined and with a large open fire-place.

Beyond the study, is a large dining room that can seat ten in comfort.
This bright room is a recent addition, and features a dazzling glazed roof light, controllable by way of push button automated blinds.

There is also access from here to the lawns for the summer months.

Off the northern side of the hallway, there is a generous, modern, well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room.

The budding gourmet will delight in the substantial oil-fired range (AGA) with four ovens supported by a four-ring gas hob. The preparation island has a second handy sink.

As an informal dining room, the breakfast area caters comfortably for six around a circular table. Two French doors give out onto the courtyard with access to the converted stable that is the Annex.

Leading off the kitchen is a large utility room containing washer and drier.

Bedrooms

The two main double bedrooms lead off the landing and overlook the lawns. Softly lit by grand south facing windows, they are both spacious and sumptuous.

The master bedroom incorporates a luminous en-suite bathroom, with an elegant double ended slipper bath, shower cubicle and marble lined double basins.

Across the landing is a neat family bathroom with double ended bath.

A small but delightful bedroom, perfect for kids, is at the end of the landing with windows that look out to the stable block annex.

The Annex

A modest pea-gravelled courtyard is all that lies between the main house and the converted stables, most easily reached through the breakfast room’s French doors.
This is a stand-alone apartment, albeit with a bantam kitchen – and it is wheelchair friendly.

On the ground floor is a sizeable sitting room with a wood burning stove and a large flat screen TV.

Just off that is the small pantry kitchenette.

Adjacent to the sitting room is a charming double bedroom with en suite bathroom.

The bathroom has a walk-in shower and twin pedestal basins. It is also equipped with support for elderly guests.

Two bedrooms and a large bathroom are accessed from an upstairs corridor that runs the length of the stable building.

The pretty panelled bathroom is shared, and has a double ended bath, shower cubicle and twin sinks.

Out & About

 

West Cork is inundated with fantastic food, dramatic vistas, coastal adventures and historical treasures.

We just can’t list them all, so here are a few of our favourites…

 

The English Market – Cork City. Failte Ireland

 

Guitar Festival Clonakilty, mid-September

 
The famous West Cork Music Festival at Bantry (held in June) is just 45 minutes away.

 

The Locality

 

 

Immediately behind the house is the seventeenth century church which until recently was served by Rathclaren’s rector.

Kilbrittain is the nearest village. Its castle, is thought to date from 1035 and remains a family home to this day – reputed to be one of the oldest inhabited castles in Ireland.
Annually in August, Kilbrittain Village hosts a Family Festival which draws large crowds.

In the winter of 2009, an 18-metre (59 ft) fin whale became stranded on a beach in Courtmacsherry Bay. The Lifeboat laboured without success to get the whale back into the sea, and it subsequently died. The skeleton is now on display in a small park to the east of Kilbrittain village.

Timoleague, (10 mins) at the head of the bay, has a ruined abbey dating back to the 13th century. The town is notable for its Brown Pudding sausage – but also has a long tradition of Bee-keeping and obviously honey. Here is also the nearest petrol station with a small Centra supermarket.

On the far side of the bay is the picturesque fishing village of Courtmacsherry – a short 15 minute trip along the water’s edge. Busy during the summer months the village is a centre for sea anglers, whale and dolphin watching tours, plus an array of water sports and skills courses.
It is also home to one of the first and one of the busiest lifeboat stations in the country.

The multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty, 25 minutes away, has quirky shops, cafes and pubs featuring live music sessions, as well as some fine restaurants.
The town is known for its black pudding which is made to a secret spice recipe since the 1880s, but also produces other fine treats such as craft beers, chocolate and gin.

Clonakilty Distillery

Off course these waters are a familiar haunt for Whales and Dolphins, and there are a number of experienced local boatmen offering guided trips to get up close and personal with them – an unforgettable experience.

About 10 minutes east of the house is Ballinspittle. In the summer of 1985, the town received international attention when inhabitants claimed to have witnessed a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary moving spontaneously. As news of the phenomenon spread, thousands of pilgrims and spectators flocked to the site – many claiming the same experience.

The bustling market town of Bandon, 15 minutes to the north, is the largest town in the region, and stages a Saturday morning farmers market.
Graham Norton, BBC chat show host, lived in Bandon and attended Bandon Grammar School.
The town is host to a 3 day Music Festival Jun Bank Holiday.

Kinsale town, extolled by Conde Nast as one of Ireland’s most beautiful towns, is the Southern limit of the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s 2,500km route that follows the coast to Inishowen, in the North.

Wild Atlantic Way

Just 20km away, the genuinely picturesque town has a long and chequered history as a strategic port, but it’s current status as ‘The Gourmet Capital of Ireland’ derives from the quality of its acclaimed restaurants, of which there are many.

The are also the remains of two impressive forts built by the English to protect the narrow entrance from the sea. The 17th-century pentagonal bastion of James Fort, and its successor, Charles Fort on the opposite side of the estuary, which is one of the finest surviving examples of a star-shaped fort from the period. Charles Fort continued to be used by the British Army until February 1922.

In 1915 on a trip from New York to Liverpool, the luxury passenger steamship Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat 18 km off the Old Head of Kinsale. Taking 18 minutes to sink, there were only 764 survivors.

Old Head of Kinsale

image Failte Ireland

The loss of 128 Americans in the tragedy is thought to have contributed to their active involvement in WW2, however a number of controversies and conspiracy theories relating to the disaster persist to this day. A museum and memorial garden at the Signal Tower on the Old Head, commemorate the event.

Garretstown Beach

image Failte Ireland

There are myriad of sandy swimming beaches dotted along the coastline – at least 7 nearby – so we’ll leave it to you to explore here.

How to get there – Car advised..

By Air: Flights to Cork, Kerry, Dublin or Shannon airports.
Cork Airport – about 40 mins from the house.
Kerry Airport – about one hour 50mins from the house.
Dublin Airport – about 3 and a half hours from the house
Shannon Airport – approx 2 and a half hours from house.

By Sea: Ferry crossings
Dublin City Port/Holyhead has a fast crossing and is about 3 and a half hours from the house.
Rosslare Harbour for Ferries to South Wales is just over 3 hours from house.

County Donegal

This lovingly restored 19th Century stone house, full of traditional and quirky Irish artefacts and with luxurious attention to detail, sits in extensive mature grounds and has an astounding view over the beautiful blue-flag beach of Culdaff.
Wild, windy and rugged, Inishowen is the most northerly part of Ireland – a hauntingly beautiful wilderness, still, within a stone’s throw of the buzzing attractions of our Northern Ireland neighbours.

 

No place like home…

At the centre of the house, in what was the original structure, is a lofty, terracotta dining room. It retains much of the original cooking hearth complete with swinging pot crane and various cooking irons from a long-gone era.

A wonderful communal room for the evenings, with an oak table and seating for eight.

​A step down from the dining room is an amply appointed kitchen.
Colourful, contemporary, and of eclectic design, it’s also an ideal breakfast room.

Preparation surfaces are stainless steel, with a tall fridge concealed behind lofty press doors.

In contrast, the sitting room appended to the opposite end of the house, is filled with light from the south facing windows that line one side, all the while framing that striking vista of Culdaff beach and the headland beyond.

Mustard in colour, and furnished with deeply comfortable sofas and a woodburning stove, the room also has French doors opening onto a stone flagged patio, for those special barbecue days.

The owner has a passion for quality recycled or repurposed furnishings, evident in fittings such as the truly efficient heating radiators, wash handbasins, vintage furniture and artworks.

 

Bedrooms

The master bedroom is of generous size and bookends the kitchen end of the house.

The ensuite features a commodious walk-in wet room shower.

At its centre, an archetypal wrought iron and brass knob bedstead overlooked by a brooding of bird pictures.

Directly off the dining room, there is a whimsical box bedroom paneled in a pale watery teal with views to the beach. The snug, cabin bed is as cosy as it is unique.

Off the passageway that threads through the house, a steeply meandering stairway leads to a long loft bedroom, furnished with a pair of traditional iron beds.

Timber sheeted and long, a charming feature is the novel interior window that overlooks the dining room.

There is a delightful bedroom in soft terracotta, with twin wrought iron and brass bedsteads and a duo of windows accessed from the central passageway.

The spacious family bathroom, also off the passageway, has a quirky bath dressed in rusticated stone tiles, a wet-room style walk-in shower and classic vintage sink.

Outside

The accomplished stonework of the house extends to the Rapunzel-tower entrance columns.

An expansive banked lawn falls away to a heavily shrubbed woodland in the front, where the stunning Culdaff beach view is the hero.

 

Out-buildings at the rear have been re-purposed to serve as a utility room, with an unexpected spacious games room above.

Out & About

 

Not only is Inishowen a fascinating and historical peninsula, with endless, empty sandy beaches and great golf, but for food and music it is unrivalled…

Here are some of our favourites…

 

The Locality

 

 

On the way you will drive through Culdaff, which is the nearest village to the house. It has 3 pubs, a restaurant and a coffee shop. Impossible to ignore is the magnificent Culdaff beach which the cottage looks out onto. Lifeguards are on duty in the summer months making it brilliant for swimmers and surfers. The eastern end has rocky coves and a children’s play area.
Boats may be chartered at Bunagee Pier, just down from the house – very popular with anglers and dolphin watchers alike.

Wild Atlantic Way
Click here to find out more…

The market town of Cardonagh – 15 minutes by car – is where you will find a more comprehensive selection of shops, pubs and cafes; see also the famous 7th century St. Patricks Cross.

Inishowen is the largest peninsula on the island of Ireland, and is the starting (or ending) point of the Wild Atlantic Way. Far enough north, and with very little light pollution, you may catch occasional glimpses of the plasma light show that is the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. There are several websites that do forecasts of when views can be expected.

Just a 25-minute drive northwards is Banba’s Crown – the tip of Malin Head and the most northerly point of mainland Ireland. It is statistically the sunniest part of Ireland and also the windiest. Parts of the Star Wars movies were filmed in this other-worldly landscape.
There is said to be the highest concentration of shipwrecks in the world off the headland, which attracts both divers and fishermen alike. The German U-boat fleet was scuttled here at the end of World War II. A short ramble from the car park is a deep and narrow subterranean cavern known as Hells Hole.

More about Malin here

Inishowen has many historical monuments, dating back to early settlements, including the ruins of several castles, and the circular 7th century dry-stone fort at Grianán Aileach, which is probably the best known. Built some 250m above sea level, it is a windy and exposed place with breathtaking views. The 5m high walls consist of three terraces and accommodation was provided by wooden structures built against them.

Buncrana, half an hour away the second most populous town in County Donegal, after Letterkenny, and the largest in Inishowen. the historic home of the O’Doherty clan, and a major centre for the textile industry in County Donegal. The town is well known for its live music pubs. The renowned Fruit of the Loom clothing plant was a large source of employment in the town before it moved its operations overseas in 2006.

Golf Vacations are extremely popular in Donegal with its many fine courses. The most famous is Ballyliffin Golf Club, home to 2 championship 18-hole courses and just 20 minutes away.

10 minutes west from the house brings you to the inlet that is Trawbreaga Bay.
This is a Wildlife Sanctuary which is an important landfall for migrating geese and other birds.
At the narrow mouth of the bay is the fine sandy beach known as Five Fingers Strand. It is backed by ancient sand dunes which are amongst the highest in Europe – some reaching 30 metres high all held together by tough marram grass that prevents wind erosion.

Five Fingers Strand

The wonderful Kinnagoe Beach is a short trip south from the house, and it is here that in 1588 the Spanish Armada ship ‘La Trinidad Valencera’ was wrecked and lay undiscovered until 1971.

The peninsula is renowned for its traditional musicians and singers, so it will be difficult to avoid coming across a session in one of the pubs or hotels of an evening.

Derry City, the second largest in Northern Ireland after Belfast, is under an hour away by car. Built in the early 1600’s, it is the only surviving example of a complete walled city in Ireland, and one of the finest in Europe.It is one of the few cities in Europe that never saw its fortifications breached, withstanding several sieges and has a complex and troubled history.

Visiting The North of Ireland in the summer months you can avoid Derry altogether and save yourself a good half an hour by using the Lough Foyle Car ferry

The Inishowen 100 tourist route is an approximately 100-mile signposted scenic drive around the peninsula. Here is a link  to illustrate what you can expect in more detail.

Cycling is extremely popular in County Donegal, and the annual Inishowen 100 attracts hundreds of entrants every August.

How to get there – Car advised..

By Air: Flights to Dublin, Belfast or Donegal airports.
Belfast Airport – is about 2 hours away
Donegal Airport – is also about 2 hours away
Dublin Airport – just under 4 hours from the house

By Sea: Ferry crossings
Belfast Port is just over 2 hours away with ferries to Liverpool and Scotland
Dublin City Port/Holyhead has a fast crossing and is just over 4 hours from the house
Rosslare Harbour for Ferries to South Wales is just under 6 hours from the house.

Confidently perched on a coastal precipice with spectacular views over Donegal Bay, this elemental cottage has been extended and transformed into a luxurious Atlantic retreat.

Its chic contemporary interior merges seamlessly with an opulent floating deck that features integrated seating, firepit and spa.

An Cúlú featured on the RTE program My Bungalow Bliss presented by Hugh Wallace and designed by McCabe Architects.

 

Smart design in Donegal

The canary-yellow traditional stable-door entrance leads through the original cottage into an entirely unexpected elegant open-plan living area annexed to the rear.

Full height glazed panoramic walls define the south-eastern elevation of the home, with remarkable views spanning Inver beach, the Atlantic Ocean and all the way around to Benbulben in county Sligo.

The dining area is sandwiched between the handle-less kitchen and the sitting room, in a continuous extension of monochrome black and white, and furnished with fully upholstered high stools.

The comprehensive multi-level patio area extending south-west of the cottage, and reminiscent of a cruise liner, incorporates some really exquisite features in addition to barbecue al-fresco dining.

To add a stretch into the evenings, an innovative and spacious outdoor sunken seating area wraps around a welcome firepit and provides some wind shelter.

Just a few hundred metres away, there is a secluded beach, and when you return, there is an inspired outdoor hot shower to flush away the sand…

There is also a sloping lawn with ample parking to the front.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms remain in the original cottage, with the superlative ensuite master bedroom indulging in more of those extravagant sliding doors directly onto the patio with its endless vistas.

Here too a genuinely charming bunk room – in radiant white – with built-in beds for four, is a magical retreat for kids. The beautifully detailed alabaster marble family bathroom with bath, is an absolute delight.

The Locality

 

 

​Ten minutes away from the cottage by car, the harbour at Killybegs is home to Ireland’s largest off-shore trawler fleet, so it’s not surprising that some of the best fresh fish food is to be found here.

The town is famous for its tapestries and carpets, some of which were produced on the biggest carpet loom in the world at the Donegal Carpet Factory. The carpets, known as Donegals, are hand-knotted in the Turkish style.

Donegal town, about ten minutes away but in the opposite direction, is the nearest centre for pretty much anything from groceries to fishing tackle. The middle of the town is known as The Diamond, and can get very busy in high season, with great pubs and live music.

You can’t miss the recently restored Donegal Castle, built by Red Hugh O’Donnell in 1474, but there is also a charming harbour which you can reach along the Bank Walk beside the River Eske as it flows into the bay.
The town was invaded by the Vikings in the 8th century and they used it as a port – hence its Gaelic name Dun na nGall, which means ’Fort of the Foreigners’.

County Donegal is the largest county in Ulster and the only one that is not in the UK.
Its Population decimated during the famine, still only about half of what it was in the mid-19th century.

The county is renowned for its golden surfing beaches, such as Murvagh beach, and Rossnowlagh which is one of Europe’s finest. The European Surfing Championships have been held here on three occasions. Donegal Bay’s funnel-like shape encourages huge Atlantic rollers, occasionally as high as 7 metres (20 ft).

The Blue Flag Fintra beach – long and more sheltered, lies just beyond Killybegs, but much closer along the narrow St. John’s peninsula is the small clearwater Coral beach.

Todays weather in Donegal

Historically this beautiful coastal locale was once an important whaling post, and the harpoon gun so associated with the industry was invented here. Whales and dolphins are happily still in evidence all around the shores.

The Blue Stack Mountains straddle the county and its scenic trails are popular with hill-walkers.The Blue Stack Way walk connects Donegal Town with the town of Ardara further north – a three day hike.

The stunning sea cliffs at Slieve Liag are worth a visit. At 600 metres high, they are nearly three times higher than the more famous Cliffs of Moher. A narrow twisting precipitous road will take you to the best viewing point at Bunglass.

Lough Eske is a small and placid lake about 20 minutes from the cottage in the Donegal direction. It is popular with anglers in the summer months, and is has numerous forest paths around its shores and a fine hotel restaurant.

During the Second World War this area experienced a lot of airborne activity as sanctioned flying boats from Lough Erne in the UK flew missions out over the short Republican corridor into the Atlantic. It was a Catalina from Lough Erne that spotted the notorious German battleship Bismarck out in the Atlantic – and this led to her demise by the British Navy who had been in pursuit but had lost contact in heavy fog.

The word Éire remains crafted in white stones on headlands around Donegal, which acted as navigation aid for those flying above.

How to get there – Car advised..

By Air: Flights to Dublin, Belfast or Donegal airports.
Donegal Airport – is about one and a half hours from the cottage.

Newly refurbished to the highest possible standards with spectacular, panoramic ocean views and private balconies overlooking the marina, this exclusive luxury penthouse property occupies a truly romantic location on Kinsale’s historic quays.

At the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, and just half an hour from Ireland’s second largest city, you won’t want to leave. You certainly wouldn’t be the first!

 

Exquisite attention to detail

The apartment is on two levels, with secure access via shared outdoor stairs from a gated quay-side level.

A spacious and impeccably furnished open-plan living space is at first floor level. It is intuitively allocated between seating, dining and kitchen areas, with all of them benefiting from a simply stunning panoramic view across the Kinsale Marina and the harbour.

Central to the living area, there is an Eco conscious hi-tech fireplace, which is instantly controllable.

The dark hardwood flooring evident throughout the home was specially fashioned from reclaimed timber for this project. It is a common theme here that as much as possible, including bedlinen has been ethically sourced locally and sustainably.

Out & About

 

Home to talented artists, fine fishy dining, boutique stores, cute creative design shops and bookstores, multiple marine activities, and historical monuments; there’s always more to discover.

We just can’t list them all, but here are a few of our favourites…

Prim’s Bookshop
at No.43 in the Main street, is a great place to ‘hang out’’, play the piano, ‘check mate’ at chess or simply browse their wonderful book collection. Known for hosting secret, pop up music events. There may also be an opportunity to do what many consider the ultimate experience viz. run a book shop for a day (think ‘You’ve got Mail’).

IRISH SODA BREAD MAKING
Interactive bread making class is also available. Led by a local Kinsaler who will initiate you into all the secrets.

 

The Locality

 

 

Kinsale town, extolled by Conde Nast as one of Ireland’s most beautiful towns, sits at the mouth of the River Bandon, just half an hour South of the magnificent Cork City. This is the Southern limit of the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s 2,500km route that follows the coast to Inishowen, in the North.

Wild Atlantic Way

The genuinely picturesque town has a long and chequered history as a strategic port, but it’s current status as ‘The Gourmet Capital of Ireland’ derives from the quality of its acclaimed restaurants, of which there are many.

Fishing has endured as the primary driver, due to the excellent sheltered harbour. In the mid 1800’s it was probably the largest fishing port in the country, and seafood remains a valuable tourist enticement.

The apartment is close to Kinsale central, and most things are within easy walking distance.

The harbour is also ideal for sailing ships, and the port acquired significant importance during their heyday, both commercially and militarily.

A number of notable buildings survive around the town, including Desmond Castle aka the French Prison – c. 1500; the Market House – c. 1600, and the Church of St Multose (Church of Ireland) – 1190. Local guided tours are usually both fascinating and entertaining.

The are also the remains of two impressive forts built by the English to protect the narrow entrance from the sea. The 17th-century pentagonal bastion of James Fort, and its successor, Charles Fort on the opposite side of the estuary, which is one of the finest surviving examples of a star-shaped fort from the period. Charles Fort continued to be used by the British Army until February 1922.

Completed in 1906 And built for speed at Clydebank in Scotland, the passenger steamship Lusitania initially held the record for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing. It was also the largest and most luxurious of its day – being surpassed only by its sister ship the Mauretania.

In 1915 on a trip from New York to Liverpool, the ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat 18 km off the Old Head of Kinsale. Taking 18 minutes to sink, there were only 764 survivors.

The loss of 128 Americans in the tragedy is thought to have contributed to their active involvement in WW2, however a number of controversies and conspiracy theories relating to the disaster persist to this day. A museum and memorial garden at the Signal Tower on the Old Head, commemorate the event.

Shipwrecks abound along this stretch of coast. You may be interested in a book by local historian Jerome Lordan called No Flowers on a Sailors Grave which details them.

More from Jerome here…

There are a number of beautiful beaches in the proximity – the nearest being The Dock Beach just across the river, and right beside the Dock Bar. Kayakes for rent here too.

The Siege of Kinsale
In 1601, a contingent of 4000 Spanish troops occupied Kinsale as part of the Anglo-Spanish War and the wider conflict of Protestant England against Catholic Spain, and were surrounded by English army. Attempts to assist them by Gaelic rebel Lords ultimately failed, leading to a breakdown of the old Gaelic system and an exodus of leaders known as the Flight of the Earls, and conclusively to the Plantation of Ulster by Presbyterian Scots.  A decisive moment in the island’s history.

How to get there – Car advised..

By Air: Flights to Dublin, Cork or Shannon airports.
Cork Airport – is about 20 minutes from the apartment.
Dublin Airport – just over 3 hours from the apartment
Shannon Airport – approx 2 and quarter hours from the apartment.
Kerry Airport – about 1.75 hours from the apartment

By Sea: Ferry crossings
Brittany Ferries run sailings from Cork Harbour to Roscoff in France twice a week
Dublin City Port/Holyhead has a fast crossing and is just over 3 hours from the apartment
Rosslare Harbour for Ferries to South Wales is also over 3 hours from the apartment.

The Locality

 

 

The secluded rural hinterland of the peninsula is mainly given over to dairy farming, bordered by rugged coastal cliffs, sandy beaches, abundant bird life and historical sites.

The Seven Heads Walk offers over 42Km to explore, passing local eateries and small cosy pubs.

The nearest grocery shopping is available from the Eurospar supermarket in Barryroe, less than 10 minutes away by car.

The picturesque fishing village of Courtmacsherry is a short 15 minute trip along the meandering coastal route. Busy during the summer months the village is a centre for sea anglers, whale and dolphin watching tours, plus an array of water sports and skills courses.

Courtmacsherry kayaking

Timoleague, at the head of this short estuary, has a ruined abbey dating back to the 13th century. The village has a long tradition of Bee-keeping and obviously honey.

The multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty 25 minutes away has quirky shops, cafes and pubs featuring live music sessions, as well as some fine restaurants.
The town is known for its black pudding which is made to a secret spice recipe since the 1880s, but also produces other fine treats such as craft beers, chocolate and gin.

Of course these waters are a familiar haunt for Whales and Dolphins, and there are a number of experienced local boatmen offering guided trips to get up close and personal with them – an unforgettable experience.

Standing on a headland, and clearly visible from the cottage, is the ruin known as Seven Heads Signal Tower. Built at the start of the 19th century, it is one of a chain of 81 interconnected defensible coastal towers constructed to give advance warning of an expected Napoleonic invasion. Messages were passed to the neighbouring tower via hoisted flags and balls. You can reach it from the cottage.

​

Beaches

There are myriad of sandy swimming beaches dotted along the coastline.

Dunworley, 2Km away, is a real local gem, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and kayaking and a surfer’s dream when the south westerly winds whip up impressive swells. Children will love exploring the many rock pools filling their buckets with a myriad of marine life. Coffee and snack trucks available during summer months.

Blindstrand and Broadstrand beaches, both hidden secrets and a short 10 mins drive from the cottage offer safe wild water swimming all year round.

The beautiful Blue Flag beach at Inchydoney Island, is family friendly and very popular amongst surfers, with a great stretch of sand backed by dunes. It’s about half an hour away – combine with a trip to Clonakilty.

15 minutes further west, the aptly named Long Strand offers a mile and a half of dune-lined sandy beach. The top end is excellent for surfers.

Warren beach in Rosscarbery (35 mins drive) is a designated Natural Heritage area and a safe sandy beach for swimming and cliff walking.

Of interest is that the surrounding dairy farm is one of five cream providers supplying ingredients for Five Farms Cream Liqueur, an award-winning premium whiskey-based beverage for export – primarily to the US.
