The Setting

Facing south over Roaring Water Bay and Ballydehob, this old cottage has recently been restored to a high standard: it is warm and dry and provides lovely self catering accommodation for year round living. The setting, not far from the sea, is rural and peaceful: Mount Gabriel stands to the west, hills and forestry are behind (to the north), just over the hill are Dunmanus Bay and Bantry Bay. To the east is the vibrant market town of Skibbereen and to the west the village of Schull, the sailing centre of Roaring Water Bay. This is wonderfully beautiful scenery.
