Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Chris has live in West Cork for 37 years. He is a well known private local chef providing meals for holiday makers and special occasions. Chris is also adept at the art of beekeeping. He came to Eire from England to and live a self sustaining lifestyle for years.
Pattie is an A&E nurse from Boston living here 5 years now. It was her dream to launch the cottage and make it something extraordinary and memorable for those who choose to stay here. It truly is a unique venue. Your advantage is that we are located on the premesis to ensure that all your needs are met.
Why the Owner Chose Ballydehob
West Cork boasts some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. There are no crowds here and lot's of things to do, or simply relax and get lost in a book. The people of West Cork are the most hospitable and friendliest of individuals, who truly care about their country. They are the heart and soul of this land. This is the kind of place that will stay with you for years to come.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Sharing a meal or glass of vino...we often have the opportunity to know our guests intimately, which sometimes lends itself to the unexpected invite over for dinner and wine. This is probably the greatest advantage for those who stay here, in that we are available to see to all your needs, unlike most self catering places as we live on the premesis.
