Charmante maison Waterside House et Cottage Idyllic Co Cork Tarifs attractifs - House

We were really lucky and had beautiful weather during our stay in June. The setting is beautiful, overlooking a picturesque tranquil bay, with crystal clear water, pebble beach and some of the best views in Europe.

The house itself is spacious and comfy although showing it’s age a little in places. Wish we could have had access to a small boat or kayak but understand why this might present liability issues!

There are lovely garden areas surrounding the house which are very well maintained and a large terrace with a good range of high quality furniture.

The house is about 15 mins from skibereen and about 90 mins from Cork. The Church restaurant in skibereen was very impressive and had a vegan main course option that was delicious. Trip to Bantry House was well worth a visit - also wish we’d had the time to go whale watching nearby.

Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Het huis lag op een fantastische locatie, pal op de rotsen, allen jammer van de zeemist dagen achter elkaar, want het uitzicht was overweldigend. Pal naast het strand.

Bij mooi weer biedt het een hoop gelegenheid om op de diverse terrassen, of in de tuin te verblijven.

Goede bedden, maar een paar dingen konden wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken.

Het huis was ook niet echt schoon, stond ws al een tijdje leeg.

De foto hiernaast geeft wel goed weer, hoe het is, bij redelijk weer, qua uitzicht.

Vind de prijs kwaliteit verhouding niet goed.

This has got to be the most beautiful spot in the whole of Ireland. If you want to get away from it all; this is it. This is raw, natural beauty. Pictures simply can't do justice to the sublime, tranquil view of the bay that this property feels like it owns all to itself. We, a family of four, have rented both the house and cottage for the last 10 years in the Summer. We're well travelled, but nothing compares with this location. Either property is perfect with children, they are on the beach in 30 seconds. Our children love rock pooling, swimming, kayaking and clambering over the rocks; especially to the near offshore island at low tide. There is none of the hassle of getting mucky children into a car or finding a toilet, it's all on the doorstep. We take out our kayak daily to catch mackerel, which go straight onto the BBQ. Fish don't come fresher than that. This year, we were lucky enough to be joined by dolphins and seals swimming around our kayak near the cottage, even though they were also after the mackerel! The quiet lanes around the area are adorned with wild flowers, dairy farms and idyllic panoramas of the dramatic Atlantic coastline of W Cork. Both properties are cosy and comfortable and have everything you need. The smaller property is a beautiful Irish cottage with ample room for 4. The larger property is huge with its top and front gardens, stunning terrace and panoramic flat roof. The internet works fine but don't expect mod cons here like a massive flat screen TV. It's not that kind of place. The Irish weather inevitably has its occasional risks, but take jigsaws, board games and baking stuff for rainy days. The children love it. Take wet suits to enjoy swimming in the sea for long periods and aqua shoes for rocks. The water is crystal clear and well suited to snorkelling. It's near Skibereen, where you can stock up on fresh, local supplies. Also near local villages with good pubs . Excellent fishmonger at Union Hall. A car is absolutely necessary. Enjoy it, but don't let too many people know! Once you've found it, you'll want to keep it a secret.

We had a wonderful vacation in Ireland and loved the cottage on the water. Beautiful idyllic views of the sea and farmland surround this property. My grandchildren loved the beach for exploring and playing and being able to walk to Flea Island when the tide was out.

The kitchen was well equipped for breakfast and simple evening meals. The beds were very comfortable. The large dining table gave us a place for playing games with the children in the evening. A bathroom for each bedroom was great when we were all up and getting ready for the day.

This is a perfect spot for a low key vacation. It is a distance from any of the major tourist attractions due to the narrow and winding roads that make the Irish countryside unique and charming. We eliminated a few plans after we discovered the remote nature of the home, but have no regrets for choosing this home away from home.

There are lovely restaurants, pubs and shops in Skibbereen, Castletownsend and Baltimore. Groceries easily acquired in Skibberreen.

We stayed for one week (couple without children) in the small cottage. Despite the fact that we could not enjoy the lovely terrace with the view, we enjoyed every moment of our stay. We liked the area, magnificent view, richful heritage and interesting stories. The cottage was fine, well equipped with a small but sunny terasse at the back.
