My husband and I had an amazing time in this cottage perched above the sea. We were looking for peace and quiet, far from the tourist crowds - and we definitely found it! Nearly every night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves in the cove below the house. Nearly every morning, we woke to the sight of blue sky or wispy clouds through the sky lights, and the sunlight on the sea through the windows.
The one exception was the night it stormed, but we were snug and warm, enjoying the sound of the rain and wind.
We loved walking on the cliff path, just steps from the house; one day, we walked into Ballycotton, had lunch Pier 21, and walked back - a perfect day! Other days we did daytrips into Cork and Kinsale, venturing as far as the Drombeg stone circle (highly recommended!). The cottage made a great home base.
Hope we can visit again someday!
