About this property

Luxury Cottage Style Stone House in Beautiful Location on Mizen Head Peninsula

The House at Libeen is situated 6 miles from Schull on the Mizen Peninsula in an elevated position with wonderful views from all windows over Dunmanus Bay, the Sheeps Head Peninsula, and Mount Gabriel.
It is a cottage style, stone built house in an acre garden which is totally enclosed by old stone walls where wild fuchsia grows in profusion.
The house is light, spacious, and furnished to a very high standard. It is well equipped, and can sleep 6 plus a baby very comfortably. The location is well placed to access Schull, Ballydehob (5 miles), and Baltimore (12 miles) on the Roaring Water Bay side of the peninsula as well as Bantry (7 miles), Glengariff (12 miles) and beyond on the Dunmanus Bay side, all of which have many excellent pubs and gourmet restaurants. The countryside around is beautiful and rugged and is good for hill walking and cycling. There are excellent golf courses in Bantry, Glengariff and Skibbereen plus lovely sandy beaches around Crookhaven and Barley Cove.....and the good news is: We do NOT charge extra for cleaning or utilities, plus wireless broadband is provided free.
Hill Walkers Paradise: Our house is situated in immediate proximity to The South Durrus and Mount Corrin Trail. There are fabulous views along this trail of Dunmanus Bay, Roaring Water Bay and the Mizen Peninsula - a must for those who like walking.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This truly was a home from home, and there was everything we needed in the house, from teabags to kitchen roll.The house is very isolated, as expected, but putting the eircode (zip code/post code) into the satnav literally brought us to the door!We had the usual mix of Irish weather, from blazing sunshine to torrential rain, but it was always pleasant to sit in the conservatory, no matter what the weather.We managed to get a table at Blairs Cove restaurant, and it was AMAZING! The food was among the best we have had anywhere, and we will definitely be returning. Booking is essential, though.Overall, I would highly recommend staying in this house, and the area in general.

Excellent stay!

We spent an amazing 2 weeks in this stunning house in Libeen. The views of Dunmanus Bay are excellent, the setting is stunning and its location is also very good, with the nearest town with everything you need (shop, pubs, post office etc.) only a 5 minute drive away. The house itself is obviously very well maintained and has all the facilities you'll need. The rooms were big, bright and tastefully furnished and decorated, and the conservatory was great for watching the sun go down over the bay. I cannot recommend this place enough. I'd love to go back.

Exceptional Property

To say that Catherine & Ernie’s House has everything you need would be an understatement! It has everything you never even realised you needed. We had such a wonderful week of freedom here after so many weeks of lockdown. Waking up to bunnies every morning on the lawn was just glorious! The house is located only a short 10 minute drive from Bantry where you are spoiled for choice in terms of eateries. A wonderful base for exploring West Cork. Thank you so much Catherine and Ernie for sharing your wonderful property. Of all the houses we have rented as a family over the years we have never felt more at home than we did in Libeen House.

Pretty much perfect

The house is perfecty appointed, spotlessly clean, and house management details, restaurant choices, and nearby things to see and do, all fully explained. The site itself is unbelievable: perfect views in all directions; house is located off a one lane path, so it is isolated and quiet, the locale everything you'd want from Irish countryside. Would have preferred an earlier checkin. 4 pm is pretty late. All in all, could nor recommend more highly. Jim, Jan & Dans.

Idyllic, cozy, absolutely perfectly tucked away in the country, not far from town. Incredible views!

Our family stayed here for 4 nights and absolutely did not want to leave. This was our favorite stay from our entire vacation. The views from the sun room took our breath away from the moment we woke in the morning to moment we went to bed. Our kids loved hanging out and felt right at home and our youngest had a wonderful time spotting bunnies in the garden. The house was completely stocked and met every need. We so appreciated all the suggestions for outings in the nearby areas. A couple highlights were the beach at BarleyCove, Mizen Head Lighthouse hike and the walks right around the house there on top of the hill. What fun memories we made in this beautiful home. Fabulous hosts, communication and accommodations. If I could give 6 stars, I would! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Escape to West Cork

We spent the first week we were allowed to travel within the country at this lovely, well designed spacious house. The setting is beautiful and the house is very comfortable & had everything we could possibly of needed. The owners provide lots of information and guidance to help visitors have the best possible experience. At short notice they provided a new bbq. There are lots of books, games & toys for children. There is guidance on a number of walks from the house & others in the area such as the really well signposted walks on Sheeps Head, restaurants such as Blairs Cove ,Arundels & O Sullivans in Crookhaven all of which we enjoyed. This is a great house in a beautiful area with lots of lovely places to visit & things to do, made all the more special by all the owner & the excellent property manager do to make the stay memorable. Thank you to Catherine & to Margaret, We will definitely be back.

A Fabulous Home in an Amazing Place

As we crested a hill along the small road to this incredible home, our jaws dropped at the sweeping view before us: brilliant green fields dropping away toward Dunmanus Bay, a long finger of glittering blue hemmed in by the Mizen Head and Sheep's Head peninsulas. Then we came to the home itself — and found ourselves even more astonished. Perched on the hill, it affords that same breathtaking view. Once inside, we found that we could take it all in from the home's beautiful and cozy sunroom. The rest of the home was equally appealing, with a lovely living room and dining area, comfortable and spacious bedrooms with access to modern bathrooms, a perfectly serviceable and equipped kitchen, and all of it furnished and decorated beautifully. We were a group of six, and the home accommodated all of us very well. Located on its own in a quiet rural setting, it is nonetheless close to the town of Schull, as well as all the places we wanted to visit, such as Mizen Head, Sheep's Head Lighthouse, the ferry to Cape Clear Island and Fastnet Rock, and many others. The location was also ideal for walking (and running) on quiet lanes to visit nearby standing rocks, stone circles and the top of Mount Corrin. We had such a wonderful time staying here that we were all terribly sad when we had to leave. We cannot wait to go back!

Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views.

This was our second stay at Libeen. It is a very private location with stunning views onto Dumanus Bay and up to Mount Gabreil. There is ample opportunity for walking to various sites of interest in the area. The far southwest of Cork is an amazing place. We had a fair amount of rain this stay, so we stayed inside more than usual, but we had no difficulty in keeping ourselves occupied - and enjoying the views of the storm going by from the sunroom. There was an unexpected maintenance issue during the stay. The owners promptly responded to our alert, and the matter was quickly attended to with no issues, delays, or impact on us. Look, any property can have a surprise maintenance problem. What matters is how the owners and their staff react. For this property, the owners and their staff have been first rate.

Wonderful house

Libeen house was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed the peaceful nature in and around the garden - the kids loved the bunnies which dropped by each morning - and the beautiful, dark night sky. The house lacked absolutely nothing. It is situated close to a lot of interesting places to visit and if you want to go out for s nice walk you can start from the gate. Again, it was a wonderful and restful holiday. Thank you so much for sharing this house.

Quiet rural house with beautiful views

This well equipped house in a beautiful peaceful rural setting was an absolute pleasure to stay in. Five adults enjoyed a weeks holiday away from it all. Plenty of lovely walks on the doorstep as well as a large garden to sit in to watch the abundance of birds and other wildlife. A car is needed to get to shops etc. The house was spotlessly clean. We were very fortunate with the weather and saw West Cork in all it’s splendour.
