Ours is a well equipped, 3 bedroom, child friendly home with many facilities. There is a mature garden overlooking a splendid valley to the south and west. The evening sunsets here are simply stunning.The living area is over 2,000 sq feet, over 200 sq. mtrs. and can accommodate 6 or 7 comfortably. The house itself is 80 years old and was converted around 20 years ago with love and a certain amount of creativity. The area is one of peace and tranquility with a constant feeling of being at one with nature while at the same time being close the bustling, historical market town of Clonakilty, with it's international reputation for music, culture and the arts. Some of the beaches in the area have been voted amongst the best in the world and maintain Blue Flag status.
The immediate surroundings and area have many, many cultural attractions, from ancient stone circles to breathtaking wild Atlantic peninsulas, coves, castles, strands, beaches, stunning flora and fauna and historical areas of significance.
The town of Clonakilty has a vibrant music, pub and restaurant scene with live music 7 nights a week in summer and other holidays throughout the year. Clonakilty town is just 10 minutes from our home.
