Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the picturesque village of Schull, this magnificent house is perfectly placed for exploring south-west Ireland. Welcoming eight guests in four bedrooms along with three beloved pups, it provides a superb base for multi-generational families or groups of friends travelling with their canine companions. After idyllic days roaming the countryside and coastline, return here for BBQs in the back garden and sociable evenings in the lounge.
Laid out over three storeys, this light and airy property features polished wooden floors and relaxed rural decor. Boasting two lounges, there’s plenty of space to relax and unwind. Take your pick from a ground-floor lounge with patio doors opening to the garden, or a spacious first-floor lounge with dual-aspect windows offering superb country views. With warm wooden cabinets, modern appliances and a breakfast bar, the kitchen has ample space for preparing meals and laying down the pups’ food and water bowls. Next door, a formal dining room provides space for family meals, while the patio offers outdoor dining with a view. Challenge your travelling companions to a game of table tennis, or spend your evenings sipping your favourite tipple while watching the stars overhead. When it’s time to let sleeping dogs lie, take your pick from a ground-floor double with an en suite, a first-floor double with an en-suite jacuzzi and shower room, or two twin rooms beneath the eaves, both with en-suite shower rooms.
Grab a ball and let your pup lead the way to adventure as you set off to explore scenic trails and swimming spots. The popular wild swimming spot of Dreenatra Pier is just 4 miles away, while the old railway bridge at Ballydehob (5.5 miles) has some superb walks around it. Schull (under 1 mile) offers quirky shops, a lively selection of eateries and boat trips to the islands of Roaringwater Bay.
