Ocean's End is an ideal base to explore the unadulterated splendour of the West Cork coastline. The cottage sits comfortably on the dramatic and rugged Seven Heads Peninsula and is a mere 400 metre stroll from the cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect location to relax and unwind and immerse oneself in the natural unspoilt beauty of the surrounding landscape. There are a myriad of sandy swimming beaches at its door step and the multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty is a short drive away. The cottage has 2 double ensuite bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms as well as a main bathroom upstairs. The extensive living space that stretches from a compact, contemporary kitchen through to a sunny South facing dining room, occupies one half of the ground floor. From here you can choose to dine al fresco on the adjacent paved terrace. The lounge is comfortably furnished with a welcoming wood-burning stove and a sumptuous snuggly sofa. Across the hallway the sitting room features another wood-burning stove, a classic corner sofa and a generous tv for movie nights in. The space at the rear of the ground floor hosts a boot room, with guest WC, utility room and a shower, all cottage-styled with a home-makers detailing and skill. A wonderful outdoor seating area is provided, and sheltered garden room, should the weather turn inclement. The log burning fire, complete with cooking racks for grilling steaks and burgers is an enchanting bonus for those long evenings. Also included is a charcoal bbq and a wood-burning pizza oven. Ocean's End sits adjacent to an award winning dairy enterprise so early morning milking excursions can be arranged, affording you a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with nature and immerse yourself in the best of what West Cork farm life has to offer. Your reward – a bottle of fresh creamy milk straight from the cow to enjoy with a well-earned breakfast. Don’t forget to pack your wellies! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender -

John and Dierdre have truly created a special place that made us not want to leave. We loved our long walks on the property with only cows, green fields and the ocean in sight. I have stayed in many homes around the world but this is my new favorite. Thank you! ##### Bridgette B.

Comfortable, beautiful, amazing location, spectacular views and fully stocked with anything you might need on vacation. Deirdre and John were so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed learning about the milking process from John one evening and wondered around by the sea with Teddy and Robin (the pups). I cannot recommend Ocean's End enough. Book it!

The home exceeded all expectations- immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and was stocked with everything you could possibly need to make your stay enjoyable. The owners are wonderful people, extremely kind and communicative and made us feel so welcome on their property. The outdoor fire pit area was a favorite and the upstairs large bathtub with a view a dream after a long day of exploring. John and Deirdre thank you so much for your hospitality- we hope to make it back one day to stay at your beautiful home again! ##### Liz L.

It is a beautiful newly finished cottage with everything you need as a family and is surrounded by picturesque views of a dairy farm and the ocean in the distance. Great beaches nearby and an easy trip to Clonakilty or Kinsale. You’ll feel that you’re away from it all because it is very private. The trick is getting yourself to get out and leave because it is easy to settle in and relax over tea in the sun room or out on the patio. The owners are terrific people and live next door. Blissful and we’re coming back! ##### Kevin B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John D. 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything as described and much more The photos of this cottage are beautiful and when you arrive you will not be disappointed as the cottage truly is that beautiful and the scenery around the cottage is even better.On arrival the cottage just feels like a home you can relax in and is extremely clean. It had lots of comforts that two teenagers enjoyed such as hot-chocolate, marshmallows, comfy sofas and a window seat that was highly coveted to enjoy the ocean view.....of course teenagers would not be happy without good WiFi which the cottage thankfully had.The kitchen is truly well equipped should you wish to cook or simply make a coffee that accompanies the delicious homemade bread and cookies.The scenery is beautiful and within a few mins walk you are on a cliff looking onto the Atlantic Ocean.The cottage is set beside a working farm and John was able to take time out to demonstrate how to milk cows which was great fun.We made use of the available BBQ and fire to cook pizza in the evening and when the temperature dropped we could simply move into the Garden Room and enjoy the views through the window.There's a well stocked store in Barryroe that is about 10 mins away. For larger stores you would need to visit Clonakilty which has a number of options but definitely check out the Scally's SuperValue and note there is a carpark behind the store which we only discovered on the last day. ##### John D.

I've stayed in many excellent vacation properties, but the experience here puts this one at the top. It is nestled in a stunning cliffside of West Cork, with wonderful towns to visit within 15, 30 or 60 minutes. My friend and I loved our visits to Kinsale, Courtmacsherry, Clonakilty and Cork. We were provided with fresh scones and treats upon our arrival, and John showed us around the working dairy farm. When the electricity went out for a few hours, Deirdre and John both kept us up to date and made sure we had water and fresh breakfast. Staying in this rental is something I'll be dreaming of for ages to come. It was a pleasure when the WiFi unexpectedly went out for a few days because we could simply bask in the glory of our surroundings. Watching the parade of cows to and from their pastures was great entertainment, as was watching the cattle dogs Teddy and Robin do their duties. Managing the typical winding roads of the area was well worth it to come back to this seaside oasis. Stay here for as long as you possibly can, and watch your cares disappear. ##### Elizabeth D.

From fresh milk from the cows and home baked brown bread to miles of fields to walk and ocean views to comfy beds and perfectly stocked kitchen, this place was so wonderful. Teddy the sheep (er cow) dog was an added bonus. Just in general I can’t say anything bad. It’s also really out in the country so you feel surrounded by quiet and peace. ##### Michelle B.

Letterlijk alles wat je nodig heb is er. Plus nog heel veel extra dingen die ervoor zorgen dat je telkens weer blij verrast ben. De kinderen hebben genoten van het speelgoed, de honden, het eitjes halen en het melken van de koeien. Wij als volwassenen hebben genoten van het comfort, de luxe en de prachtige locatie.

Our entire family loved this spot the most. Deirdre is a wonderful hostess who pays attention to every detail. Incredible location as well. Clonakilty was also our favorite destination, as far towns with shopping goes, and it was close by! We happily spent most of the time at the place though. We feel lucky that John showed us the process of milking the cows and their adorable dogs led the way on the gorgeous walking paths. Thank you Deirdre and John:) ##### Chantelle G.

I find grazing cattle to add to the feing ofp1eace and contentment. The house itself is beautiful with lots of room for five people, (enough beds, two sitting rooms so two TV's, a well equiped kitchen, three bathrooms) plus a lo ely yard with outdoor seating.

The house is pristine and cozy with lots of room to hang out inside and in the back, which has a patio, fire pit, and a kind of viewing room overlooking the ocean. The kitchen is wonderfully appointed, and there are fun little surprises everywhere. The surroundings are heavenly, with a great group of cows near the house. We spent a day in Cork, a day in Skibbereen, and a day hiking the 7 Heads trail. Deirdre is a wonderful host, and I can't say enough good things about this listing. ##### Molly W.

We took walks to the nearby beach escorted by their dogs, we cooked and reconnected by the wood stoves, and we visited friendly towns nearby. We are grateful for the care and hospitality of our hosts who went over and above to help us properly celebrate the end of a hard year. We hope to go back! ##### Regina P.

Thank you Deirdre and John for another wonderful stay. ##### JT S. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph S. 13 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The absolute best Wow!!! What can I say about this cottage that hasn’t been already said. This is by far an absolute hidden gem. They go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant and memorable. From the sweet treats upon arrival to John showing us how the dairy farm works. And we really loved the pups, they greeted us everyday when we got back. The only downfall about this cottage, is having to leave. We are already planning another trip. Thank you so much, Deidre and John!! ##### Joseph S.
