About this property
Charming old stables studio cottage
A charming and stylish studio cottage, recently renovated from old stables, the cottage sits on a lovely one-acre organic vegetable and flower garden 10 mins equally from Clonakilty and a variety of local beaches. It is located 500m from the birthplace of Michael Collins near the lively market town of Clonakilty, it is perfectly situated as a quiet haven for exploring the beautiful landscape of West Cork.
Guests have access to a small private garden with patio and also to the family organic vegetable and flower garden. The family live in the adjacent renovated school house and will be very happy to advise you on any queries you may have on the locality.
Clonakilty is perfectly poised at the heart of the West Cork experience combining the artistic spirit of West Cork with the warm ambience of a lively West Cork town. It offers access to a variety of local leisure activities such as swimming, fishing, sailing, surfing, horse riding, golfing, whale-watching as well as gourmet restaurants and pubs with live music. It is also well situated to make trips to other other areas of interest all along the the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way.
Buses run regularly to Cork (1 hour) and also in a westerly direction stopping in villages and towns along the way. Bicycles are, of course, a great way to explore the locality. A car is, however, possibly the best way of remaining independent.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Loved our stay. Jean Luc and Ina were perfect hosts. We were worried about finding the property but Google GPS brought us straight to it. (No problem) we would definitely stay again.
This is a beautiful country side stay in Southern Ireland. We had great access to see many sites in the area and a beautiful, relaxing retreat to spend our evenings. Jean Luc was very accommodating and an excellent host.
Loved every minute of my stay. Solo traveling can be uncomfortable at times, but I felt safe and comfortable here! I hope to come back. The hosts were lovely.
A beautiful, clean property with a very welcoming host. Lots of space, good amenities and a large selection of teas :) We felt relaxed and well catered for here. The blackout blinds on the velux windows were very useful too.
The cottage was perfect. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful country setting and views! The cottage was very cozy and clean. It was exactly what we were hoping for.
The house was absolutely unbelievable, the hosts were very friendly and helpful, and Coco was the sweetest dog ever! We had an amazing visit in the Clonakilty area. Thank you Jean Luc and Ina for everything!
We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was excellent. We had everything we needed. Large comfortable bed. Our hosts were excellent and available for anything we needed. We made friends with their sweet dog Cocoa and the chickens. Great location to explore SW coast and towns.Thank you!!
I spent a magical 3 weeks exploring the Irish countryside from this cozy cottage with stunning views. The hosts were friendly and accommodating, lending me a bike and even driving me to the bus station when my taxi didn't come in time. Visits from the resident dog and chickens were a highlight.
Everything you need is here!! Lovely host ..full kitchen etc... basics..even w/d! Comes with cows chickens and a lovely dog named Coco...just beautiful scenery...
We spent a lovely few days in the little cottage, that offers just about everything you need. Jean-Luc and Ina had even prepared a little welcome package for us which was lovely. They were always available for any questions we had and were very friendly hosts. Also Coco, their very friendly dog came to greet us every morning which we really enjoyed. It was just the perfect stay and best start to our holidays in Ireland. Thank you!
This is a large, charming studio in a lovely countryside setting. The bed is a comfortable king size & the kitchen is fine to use with basics supplied. As a bonus, our hostess provided an extra treat when she learned of my partner's birthday! The owners are lovely people and we would recommend staying there if you are planning to be in/near Clonakilty. Katie & George

It is like a home not only a stay!The kitchen is well equipped, we missed nothing and we cooked 3 days.Linning and towels were soft and cosy. ASA host,you were always availabel! As well as the lovely dog Coco! Thank you for the stay, we might come back next time. Bettina & Till
The cottage was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. It was in a lovely rural setting and yet only minutes from downtown Clonakilty where we could access good restaurants and grocery store. The one request I had during our visit I messaged Jean Luc and he responded right away.
Un cottage très cosy pour une semaine de tranquillité
Ce très joli cottage, très bien décoré et bien équipé, nous a permis de passer une semaine très agréable et très reposante,malgré le temps qui n’était pas au rendez-vous. Une très belle région à decouvrir et un accueil très agréable de la part d’Ina et Jean-Luc.
Belle reconversion des écuries en jolie dépendance très confortable, bien équipée, spacieuse, au calme avec une literie de bonne qualité. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour. Un grand merci pour l’accueil prévenant et les petites attentions. Le sèche-linge indiqué par erreur est en fait un petit étendoir à linge, mais c’est un point mineur.
A very nice one room property in a rural and quiet setting. Very good hosts and welcoming and helpful. A very friendly and quiet dog call over a few times for snacks. Parking requires car in reversing in from main road. Very nice place and well equipped.

I stayed for 5 days and had a perfect time wandering around and seeing the sights. It's beautiful and private, but it's good to know that the lovely hosts are right next door if you need them.
