A perfectly reclaimed cottage with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean....
Ocean's End is an ideal base to explore the unadulterated splendour of the West Cork coastline. The cottage sits comfortably on the dramatic and rugged Seven Heads Peninsula and is a mere 400 metre stroll from the cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect location to relax and unwind and immerse oneself in the natural unspoilt beauty of the surrounding landscape. There are a myriad of sandy swimming beaches at its door step and the multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty is a short drive away. The cottage has 2 double ensuite bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms as well as a main bathroom upstairs. The extensive living space that stretches from a compact, contemporary kitchen through to a sunny South facing dining room, occupies one half of the ground floor. From here you can choose to dine al fresco on the adjacent paved terrace. The lounge is comfortably furnished with a welcoming wood-burning stove and a sumptuous snuggly sofa. Across the hallway the sitting room features another wood-burning stove, a classic corner sofa and a generous tv for movie nights in. The space at the rear of the ground floor hosts a boot room, with guest WC, utility room and a shower, all cottage-styled with a home-makers detailing and skill. A wonderful outdoor seating area is provided, and sheltered garden room, should the weather turn inclement. The log burning fire, complete with cooking racks for grilling steaks and burgers is an enchanting bonus for those long evenings. Also included is a charcoal bbq and a wood-burning pizza oven. Ocean's End sits adjacent to an award winning dairy enterprise so early morning milking excursions can be arranged, affording you a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with nature and immerse yourself in the best of what West Cork farm life has to offer. Your reward – a bottle of fresh creamy milk straight from the cow to enjoy with a well-earned breakfast. Don’t forget to pack your wellies!

The house was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and equipped to a high standard with everything we needed. The hosts, Deirdre & John, were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the location of the property was amazing. In every way a perfect place to relax or to use as a base for exploring the area.
Superb high quality accommodation, with lots of extra additional touches. The welcome pack with fresh milk, butter, soda bread and lots of other little bits was fab! I can’t fault anything about Oceans End plus our host was really lovely and so helpful. This part of Ireland is beautiful, lots of lovely beaches and towns, well worth the visit.
This property has everything you will ever need for a comfortable and relaxed holiday in a stunning location in Ireland. It is obvious a lot of thought and care has gone into ensuring that everything is catered for at such a high spec and cleanliness. Deidre and John are so friendly and helped make our holiday one to remember. Such a fantastic place to holiday in a remote and quiet setting but have all the comforts and enable you to explore the area.Thank you.
We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs all over the world and this was by far the best. From fresh milk from the cows and home baked brown bread to miles of fields to walk and ocean views to comfy beds and perfectly stocked kitchen, this place was so wonderful. Teddy the sheep (er cow) dog was an added bonus. Just in general I can’t say anything bad. It’s also really out in the country so you feel surrounded by quiet and peace.
John & Deirdre are great host's. The property is clean and comfortable in a setting that is hard to beat. The place is sitting on an active Dairy Farm and John is happy to give you a lesson in Dairy Farming. Everyone in our party was very happy with our stay.
The cottage was amazing and the hosts were extremely hospitable! Everything was super clean and exactly how pictures described. It was very comfortable and had everything you need. The countryside where cottage is located has beautiful scenery and it truly was a small piece of heaven.
Others have mentioned the thoughtful touches like fresh baked bread and milk from their farm, but I want to reiterate how lovely it is to arrive to a home, not a house, where every detail has been lovingly thought of. John and Dierdre have truly created a special place that made us not want to leave. We loved our long walks on the property with only cows, green fields and the ocean in sight. I have stayed in many homes around the world but this is my new favorite. Thank you!
This is a beautiful property out in the country surrounded by green hills, the ocean in the distance and many cows grazing in the fields. I find grazing cattle to add to the feing ofp1eace and contentment. The house itself is beautiful with lots of room for five people, (enough beds, two sitting rooms so two TV's, a well equiped kitchen, three bathrooms) plus a lo ely yard with outdoor seating. Would go back in a heartbeat.
We returned in November for the second time in as many years and it was just as perfect as we remembered. There is something really special about Ocean's End. Thank you Deirdre and John for another wonderful stay.
This property was everything we hoped it would be and more! Comfortable, beautiful, amazing location, spectacular views and fully stocked with anything you might need on vacation. Deirdre and John were so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed learning about the milking process from John one evening and wondered around by the sea with Teddy and Robin (the pups). I cannot recommend Ocean's End enough. Book it! I promise you'll be so glad you did!
This is an amazing property, lovingly renovated and thoughtfully appointed. We wanted for nothing, except more time to spend here. The hosts are wonderful, the views were outstanding.
We had a great time over Christmas! Deirdre and John are wonderful hosts and their beautiful house offered us more comforts than we anticipated. We took walks to the nearby beach escorted by their dogs, we cooked and reconnected by the wood stoves, and we visited friendly towns nearby. We are grateful for the care and hospitality of our hosts who went over and above to help us properly celebrate the end of a hard year. We hope to go back!
We loved our time in this beautiful house. So well equipped and very comfortable, the hosts have thought of everything! Incredible location and we loved the chance to visit the cows and help with the milking one evening. Thanks so much for having us, we will be back in the future for sure!
Our family had a wonderfully relaxing week here in Deidre and John's cottage. The accommodation was immaculate and there was nothing that we wanted for. Ireland was at its best and we can't thank our hosts enough for their warm welcome. It was perfect for all our needs.
We had a wonderful time at Oceans End! The family time was fantastic and the house was beautiful! Our host Deidre was very hospitable and attentive. The views of the water and countryside were stunning! We definitely want to return!
This property is the best in which we have stayed. It’s speaks volumes when we have come from Australia and Dubai. Its breathtaking views, perfect interior design and extremely accommodating hosts make it one of a kind. Will remember this stay for a long time. Many thanks, Mark and Cassie.
We had the best time at Ocean’s End. The “cottage” (so much more!) is roomy, well equipped, tastefully decorated and indeed has a view straight out of a picture-book. Deirdre & John are gracious hosts and the location provides easy access to West Cork & beyond. HIGHLY recommend for anyone considering this property!
From the Cottage and the setting to the Host…. Honestly we have no suggestions that would make this any better!! Truly enjoyed our stay. I missed taking a walk w the pups…..Maybe next time :)
Thank you Dierdre….. it was simply lovely!
what a fun stay! A great "base of operations" for us as we explored southwestern Ireland. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Gorgeous ocean view. Nearby farm was a big hit with my daughter too!
The best cottage to stay at with owners that care about you and your happiness! My first night there, the airline lost my luggage and the owner took it upon herself to go get it at the airport once it arrived! The cottage is clean, welcoming, and cozy with the most beautiful setting.
Beautifully designed , aesthetically appointed, well thought out house at the end of a country road.
Our hosts were welcoming - home made bread, jam and milk from their dairy.
Absolutely stunning house and location. We loved all of the decor and finishing touches. Beds and bedding were super comfortable!
Beautiful views from house and surrounding areas many restaurants and places to visit.
Warm welcome from Deirdre and John who were on hand if we needed anything. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here thank you
What a fabulous cottage - amazing location with stunning views. So relaxing.
Cottage was immaculate and very well stocked with everything you could need for a holiday.
Absolutely five stars in every area - great location near beautiful beaches and Kinsale / Clonakilty for eating out / shopping
