This rural and picturesque cottage on Cape Clear Island, where you’ll find the Southernmost Place of Ireland, offers the perfect base for a couple seeking a memorable and tranquil getaway by the sea. Explore the 3-mile long by 1-mile wide island on foot while admiring the views of West Cork (7.5 miles). Discover the fascinating history of your surroundings with a visit to the megalithic standing stones (1 mile) and the 14th-century O’Driscoll Caste (1 mile). Enjoy a tour of the distillery (1 mile) and head to the local restaurant or bar (1 mile) for a romantic date night. Catch the ferry to Schull (7.5 miles) or Baltimore (9 miles) to see some mainland attractions.
As you step inside, you’ll notice that the interior of this property is just as unique as its surroundings. The main living area boasts characterful exposed stone walls, high ceilings with a hidden loft room which can be used as a study or yoga room, and a wooden beamed ceiling. The lounge is at the centre and is decorated with antique-style furnishings – here you can snuggle up on the sofa in front of the open fire with a bottle of bubbly. Cook a meal for two in the neural-toned, compact and well-organised kitchen before dining at the wooden table while gazing out the window at the sea view. Wake up to views of the distant hills and sea through multiple windows in the comfortable king-size bedroom. Completing the interior is a bathroom.
Outside you can dine alfresco in the garden with sea and hill views or wrap up warm for a spot of star gazing in the evening.
