It has everything you could need inside the house and an added bonus that I could bring my sweet little dog. In its own private grounds, it is very peaceful and relaxing with beautiful views, walks and food nearby (but you would need a car). Kilbrittain village is cute with a lovely park and woodland walk. Timoleague nearby is beautifully picturesque with lovely walks, a lovely historical Abbey, a petrol station with well stocked shop, pubs, restaurant, chemist etc. Courtmacsherry, 4km from Timoleague is a stunning drive along the edge of the sea with boats bobbing here and there. The Courtmacsherry Hotel serves delicious food and has beautiful grounds. There is also a gorgeous coffee shop in Courtmacsherry called the Golden Pheasant and two other lovely restaurants along the main street. I could go on about the beauty of West Cork but you just have to go and visit it for yourself 😉👍🏻. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the ocean ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 431 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90230000/90225800/90225772/1841b2be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Coach House, Clonakity. 1 bed apartment Clonakilty - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=90225772&PinnedHotelID=90225772&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69250000/69240100/69240069/cf01a632.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Inn at Glencairn Lismore - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=69240069&PinnedHotelID=69240069&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116810000/116801400/116801335/c8747765.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Knockaun Cabin Cappoquin - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=116801335&PinnedHotelID=116801335&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110760000/110750100/110750087/276c1830.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Irish Sea Whispers Villa - My Charming Costal Retreat in the heart of Youghal Youghal - Kitchen - Washing machine - Parking available - Tennis court 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=110750087&PinnedHotelID=110750087&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99290000/99285800/99285758/e4d19f38.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### THE BRIDE VALLEY FARMHOUSE in Tallow, County Waterford Lismore [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=99285758&PinnedHotelID=99285758&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, oven, stovetop, coffee/tea maker](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34070000/34061800/34061754/w804h605x0y0-ae9a4b56.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Idyllic cottage on the Atlantic coast in the south west of Ireland Skibbereen - Ocean view - Kitchen - Parking available - Barbecue grill 9.8 Exceptional 96 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=34061754&PinnedHotelID=34061754&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69700000/69690900/69690807/71c78d3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Farm House - Sleeps 7 - Garden - Parking Cork - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=69690807&PinnedHotelID=69690807&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105600000/105598600/105598576/6ef61a5e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Villa in Youghal, Co.

The cleanliness was average. I was expected to make a fire which I did not know about before the visit. I asked them to turn the heat on. It was slightly at night. I was cold and shivery. The door window was broken so the wind came in. Toilet paper was limited and soap was used bars from others. Shower was awful. Once I found out how to get hot water, I tried the shower. It went back and forth from extremely hot to freezing. I did not use it again. I just did old style sponge baths. The only positive for me was consistent wifi. I felt like I went back in time and had to wear my winter coat inside. I did not let it ruin my visit as Ireland was worth it. This could be a great place with more attention to detail for the guests. ##### Erika W.
