On the Sheep’s Head Peninsula with Breathtaking views


The Goats Path drive from Kilcrohane up to Bantry is regarded by many as being one of the most striking amongst all the treasures along the Wild Atlantic Way which stretches from Donegal in the north west of Ireland, to Cork in the south west. This superbly restored old schoolhouse is on the north side of the Sheep’s Head Peninsula and has elevated views over the entire Bantry Bay, the Beara Peninsula, Roan Carrig lighthouse, Bere Island and the wide open Atlantic. This luxurious haven has a spacious twin bedroom on the ground floor, uniquely positioned sunroom with magnificent sea views and a spacious living room which retains the character of the main classroom of old and open plan walk through to the kitchen and sunroom.
On the first floor, bedroom no 2 (double bed) has a view of Bantry Bay and bedroom 3 (king bed) also provides wonderful ocean and countryside views. This is a striking home on the entire Sheep’s Heads Peninsula with breathtaking views.

What a property! What a location! Spectacular inside and out. The house was everything described and more! The location just stunning. My only complaint was we didn't stay longer. Thank you Finola for sharing your beautiful home. We will certainly be back.

Great views - super helpful host
The views from this property are outstanding. You will not be disappointed - the cottage faces west and the sunsets seem to go on forever! Had a wonderful stay and did lots of walking with the cottage as our base. The house is charming and cozy, the kitchen well equipped and the beds comfy. The bathrooms were very clean, the water pressure was just about ok - just don't expect to be blasted by the water pressure in the shower. We were there in a heat wave and the house had thick walls which meant it was cool inside. Great!

Wonderful stay on Sheep’s Head
We’ve stayed on Sheep's Head before though never this far out. It was a really spectacular setting with a gorgeous view. We enjoyed the warm sunny days driving around and visiting places we love like Crookhaven and Kilcrohane. We also played Bantry Bay Golf Club a few times which was a real treat for us golfers. The house had all the essentials and was spotless. We made good use of the back yard which was our favorite spot. We even made use of the bbq grill. There’s plenty of food shopping in Bantry so be sure to stock up before you head out. It’s about 20 minutes from the house to Bantry depending how fast you take the road.

Great house in a beautiful spot
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has great views and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equiped and everything was clean and tidy. There was also a folder with all the walks and clear guest information. We would recommend this property to everyone who enjoys walking, nature and the peace and quiet the peninsula has to offer.

Superb family break in spectacular location
We had a fantastic family holiday at this beautiful old school house located on Sheep’s head, West Cork. The house, garden and spectacular views provided the perfect base for our family to explore the local area. Peaceful and stunning location with a very safe garden for young children. The perfect base to explore the stunning surroundings of West Cork. Sea swimming, beautiful beaches, walking, trail running, great local villages and towns. Can’t wait to return again! Superb!

Stay for the view!
Breathtaking location, stay for the view alone. House could do with a little tlc, curtains rehung for example. If the weather is warm most definitely bring a fan for upstairs bedrooms. Check in time is quite late which can be an inconvenience when travelling a distance with young kids. But like I said before, you're paying for the view!

Nach einer abstrengenden Anreise konnten wir uns in diesem tollen Haus wunderbar erholen. Die Küche ist herrlich mit Blick. Eileens Pub originelk und in der old creamery kann man sehr gut essen.
