Welcome to this stunning cottage, ideally situated for group getaways accompanied by your four-legged friend on the picturesque slopes of Cahernageeha Mountain. With breathtaking panoramic views over Ballinskelligs Bay, a roaring open fire in the spacious lounge and a wraparound garden for ball games with Fido, enjoy a memorable escape with your entire pack at any time of the year.

Step into a well-appointed interior designed for comfort and sociability. The kitchen/diner is perfect for gathering over meals, while the lounge invites relaxation with its crackling open fire that is sure to be popular with your canine companion. The ground floor houses three cosy bedrooms—one double with an en-suite shower room, another double, and a twin room. A tiled family bathroom is also on this level. Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms—a family room with a double bed and two single beds, and a twin room with single beds, both sharing an additional bathroom. Outside, unwind in the delightful garden, complete with two picnic benches for al fresco dining amidst the picturesque rural scenery and enjoy a game of fetch with Fido on the expansive lawn.

Step out your door and into glorious countryside for tail-wagging walks to remember. One mile away, a secluded beach and slipway offer a serene seaside escape where playful pups can bound around. Anglers will love Lough Currane (3 miles), where you can spend the day fishing for spring salmon and trout with your faithful friend at your side.

This is a lovely cotttage with a stunning view. Its was very comfortable for our 6 grown up family members, baby and dog. It might get a little crowded if used to sleep the advertised 12 though. The kitchen is well equiped and the whole cottage well furnished.

There is little to add to the review by Marius from Sep `23. We stayed at the Orcades in August 2024 as a family of 5, and apparently little to nothing has changed since then. Still, if you want a house with a lot of bedrooms that can host up to 8 people (There's sufficient beds for 10, but the seating capacity in kitchen and living room is limiteRead mored) without paying a fortune, the Orcades is well worth considering. You should just be aware that you might have to clean certain things yourself, and both equipment and furniture are ageing. Hide
