You’ll never forget nights spent curled up by an open fire with your beloved doggo by your side – nights best spent in this traditional County Cork cottage on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula. This stone farmhouse is tucked away amongst natural surroundings, offering a fantastic destination to escape to with pets for endless walks and games of fetch. The property hosts a total of eight guests and invites one canine companion to come along too, complete with cosy interiors and a sun-dappled garden that’ll set tails wagging at any time of year.

Wooden beams, exposed brickwork and country-style furnishings add to the traditional charm of this pet-friendly holiday location. Step inside and get cosy in the lounge, a spot where cushy seating is set opposite an open fire to create a perfect spot for warming up cold toes and little paws. The kitchen/diner will act as the hub of the house, complete with a farmhouse breakfast table to centre your lives around and a spot to sit and plan your walkies each day. Once home with dog-tired bodies, move into the four bedrooms positioned throughout the property’s two floors. Outside, pups will be pleased to find a patch of lawn to play on. This space is unenclosed and has a stream running through, so do take care of your furry friend.

In a truly rural location, the property is just under a mile away from the tiny seaside village of Ahakista and 3.5 miles from another seaside spot, Kilcrohane. Both places are linked by the Sheep’s Head Way, a walking route encompassing part of the Wild Atlantic Way and offering an easy-to-follow path along the mighty coastline. Let Fido lead the way along this route, stopping to sniff wildlife and gather sticks whilst you admire the view.
