THE CORK REGION.
Home to some of the most breathtaking scenery in Ireland.
Goleen.
Goleen village was built in the nineteenth century at a crossroads where cattle fairs were regularly held. The wide road winds through the village, where all the houses were originally built as shops. To the left of the village is the hidden harbour from which the village takes its name. “Goilin” (little inlet) is easily recognisable once you venture down the lane beside O’Meara’s pub. Although a good portion of the harbour area dries at low tide, giving a great feeding for a variety of wildlife including foxes and pheasants, there is a deepwater quay at the entrance to accommodate fishing boats, pleasure boats and yachts.
Crookhaven.
Crookhaven harbour is as picturesque today as it was useful in its heyday, being a large and sheltered harbour. You pass the old Roadstone Quarry on the side of the mountain, which provided metalling for the roads of Wales until 1939. There are numerous Bronze Age field monuments scattered through the hills surrounding Crookhaven. (The Ordnance Survey Discovery Series map 88 will indicate the whereabouts for you.) The village of Crookhaven has a distinguished history as the last port of call for ships journeying to and from America. Over the centuries ships stocked up with provisions here before tackling the Atlantic Ocean. All the shipping lines had agents located here to tell the ships in which port their cargo had been sold. At the beginning of the 20th century it was said that you could cross the harbour on the decks of the boats moored there. At that time 700 people lived and worked in the village against the 40 permanent residents who reside here today. Marconi came here to try to send his first radio message across the Atlantic and he fitted the first telegraphic equipment to the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse to communicate with the passing ships.
Mizen Head.
The Mizen Peninsula at Ireland’s most south-westerly point is world renowned for the beauty of its rugged landscape and ancient heritage. A tour of the Mizen Ring gives you a chance to immerse yourself in the various strands that make the Mizen unique, from geology, flora, birds and fauna to the influence of man and his history on the landscape. Well worth a visit. Another gem of the Mizen Peninsula is Three Castles Head, where the three castles which are three Tower Houses with curtain walling. Built in the 15th century on the site of a Bronze Age Promontory Fort, the Castles stand sentinel beside a cliff top lake.
Barleycove.
Barleycove is a large sand beach backed by sand dunes. Reputedly the sand dunes were thrown up in the tidal wave which swept Europe after the earthquake in Lisbon in 1755. Today the dunes have been partially eroded but are protected, like much of the coastal land around this area, as European designated “Special Areas of Conservation”. The road goes to the east of the beach across a causeway bisecting Lisagriffin Lakes and at the T junction you turn left for the Mizen.

Having spent many holidays in Ireland over the past 40 years I can only say THIS IS IT. After a long trip from Dublin to Goleen we were welcomed by our friendly hosts Nora and Sean Flynn. From the first moment on the location fascinated me and my 4 fellow travelers. It is a magic place. The only thing you hear is the sound of the waves, the wind and the birds. There is always something going on in and above the water that draws one’s attention. I read two books in the week I stayed there, all 5 of us were fishing from the peer and the rocks, we went to Mizen, to Schull, Skibbereen, Crookhaven and many other places and recovered quite a bit from our normal routines. We found many good pubs at these trips but there are also pubs in walking distance in Goleen. We sat together and played cards, did a lot of cooking, drank good redwine and wiskey and enjoyed every minute in the cosy cabin. This house is a dream. You look for something, it’s there. It is absolutely overcomplete. You could even get some guests as well, there would always be enough plates , knives, forks etc for everyone. Many little items and pictures have been collected by Nora and Sean and fill the walls and cupboards of the house, giving it a very warm atmosphere. Since we had the best possible weather the whole week we spent most of the days outside and used the beautiful conservatory only for the morning coffee or to read something about West Cork and the area. It was really a tremendous week we spent there and we will surely be back. So many thanks again, Nora and Sean, for your friendly welcome and support during our trip from all 5 of us. May the wind blow always from your back. (I have stolen this in Ireland) Rudi HasslerDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Great location - lovely family home. Thank you for a peaceful, restful, blissful week in your amazing well equipped Cabin. The views are stunning and we had many long walks from here. Nearby Crookhaven, Goleen and Schull with the very friendly local people are delightful. We would certainly recommend to others and hope to return ourselves one day if only to try and glimpse the friendly sea otter who visited on certain tides. We have some wonderful memories. Thank you for your hospitality Sean and Nora. from the Jones and Simcock Families, DevonDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

The Best Holiday Ever!

If you have'nt been to the Log Cabin in Goleen then book now! This was the best week ever. This is a GEM by the sea surrounded by breathtaking views of the sea, mountains, Fastnet lighthouse, crookhaven lighthouse, sherkin, calf and cape clear islands. You will not be disappointed regardless of the weather. Not only that but you have your own private jetty, swim areas, places to sun bathe. you have a short trip to the barley cove beach and to the Mizen Head also. But you know, you will find yourself rushing back to the log cabin as there will be no place where you will find the views, access to the water and peace in West Cork. It is a great place for couples but also a fantastic find for children where they have everything they need to have the best holiday ever! Not only that, they may be lucky enough to see the seals who swam into the inlet and the basking shark (harmless of course!!). we were up at before sun rise to savour the views and in bed after sun set. It is a magical place.. no matter what the weather.. bring good weather proofs and you'll enjoy every day. The house is lovely also.. our hosts Sean and Nora had thought of everything we needed and were so welcoming. We enjoyed the ambience of the log cabin, the log fires and OMG the views from the decking, the kitchen and living areas .. incredible.. i have added it to my list as one of the unknown 7 wonders of the world.. Thank youOwner response: We were overwhelmed by this review, our very first letting. The weather was not kind for this beautiful couple, however unlike ourselves sometimes, when the weather is not to our liking, they used their senses, all five, to appreciate those natural and beautiful parts of sea life and scenery which unfolds everyday at our house in Goleen. Thank you.

Das Haus ist recht groß und mit allem ausgestattet, was man irgendwie brauchen kann, gut in Schuß und in einer phantastischen Lage. Man sollte unbedingt ein Fahrzeug haben, sonst ist alles etwas schwierig zu organisieren. Es ist perfekt für jemanden der das Meer liebt und Ruhe sucht. Die Meeresnähe ist toll, bei kleinen Kindern sollte man verdammt gut aufpassen, die Küste ist steil und felsig unsere haben es genossen. Es gibt einen eigenen Pier, man kann hier baden, angeln usw. Elementare Versorgungsmöglichkeiten sind in Goleen vorhanden (ca 1km Fussweg), einen Supermarkt gibt es im Umkreis von ca. 20 km. Wir sind sicher mal wieder dort.Did you find this review helpful?
