About the host
Hosted by Maire Ni Mhurchu
This house was built by my great-aunt in 1968, as she planned to retire after a lifetime nursing in London. The house was built to enjoy the view from every room. As a child, I visited a lot and inherited the house in 2000. We renovated the house and brought it up to modern standards and have won a 2018 EHHA Award for one of Best Nature Tourism Houses in Europe. We want to share our Tig na Failte ( Irish for House of Welcome) with you.
Why they chose this property
* Summertime is about the views of the bay and the area with meals on the patio.
* Winter time is about stove lighting, central heating and a cosy house.
* Great base for exploring West Cork and Kerry.
* Private garden with gate to keep children off the quiet lane.
