Beside this is a kitchen including a refrigerator/freezer, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and oven. Through the next door is the bathroom complete with a widely spaced shower.
A sandy tidal beach lies just a short minute's walk away and offers a tranquil swim, a rugged coastline climb, or just a wander around the beach.
The surrounding countryside is dotted with small colourful towns and villages,which provide a range of food from irish pub grub to high restaurant quality standard.
Clonakilty, the home of Michael Collins, is just seven miles from the cottage and has a wide variety of delicious restaurants and in particular a traditional Irish pub where many renowned and lively bands play most nights, De Barra's. There is also a hotel and spa in Incheydoney with an indoor sea water pool and a thalassic health spa.
Bandon and Lisselan offer great golf clubs - Bandon (18 holes) and Lisselan (six holes). Bandon also has fishing on the sea trout and salmon river, day passes are available from Michael O'Reagan. Also Kilcoleman fishery is well worth the day. Contact David Lamb.
Kinsale, a lively harbouring town, is 23 miles and well worth the trip. Be it during the day for some sightseeing (from 17th century forts to rugged walks along the headlands kinsale is a haven for tourists)or by night for an uplifting irish experience, lively pubs host some excellent bands. Toddies restaurant is a fantastic and atmospheric place to relax after a day of rambling.The food and wine is superb and never fails to please.
Courtmacsherry is five miles away and has sailing, riding, sea fishing, and windsurfing facilities along the beautiful strand. The nearest shop is two-and-one-half miles away and is a big Co-Op. And the nearest pub is one-half mile away.
Kilbrittan, a 20 minute drive from the coach house hosts a fabulous restaurant, Casino house, well worth a visit.

Sweet is right. This is the place to stay if you want to go and be a part of Ireland, not just a tourist to Ireland. Stayed in June of 09 at the cottage. Just looked at our pictures today and reminisced on a truly wonderful experience. Charming beach, cottage, countryside, town, people, and country.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, pet owners, sightseeing.

Wonderful place to stay! We couldn't have been happier with the coach house and the location. Dunworley Beach was just spectacular and the surrounding countryside was awesome. It was like taking a step back in time. Outside the cities, surrounded by farmland, but close to so many interesting things to see and do. We loved our hostess and her beautiful family and can't forget the dogs! Even the dogs were great! Would recommend this place to anyone, anytime. We just loved it! Very relaxed atmosphere, no pressure, very quiet and peaceful. For a nice restful place to stay without all the hassle of the large cities, this is it! Would love to be there in front of the fire right now!
