Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
The Long Shed, a tastefully converted space offers a unique, cosy interior with a natural sanctuary just outside the door. Within just a 10 min walk you can be at our private cove for sea swimming and seal spotting or atop a spectacular cliff with panoramic views.. or take a wander through our valley full of native flora and fauna.
Conveniently situated not far from the airport, ferryport, Cork city and the historical town of Kinsale yet filled with a sense of being way off the beaten track.

The space
This is an open plan space with one small double bed on the mezzanine and one sofa bed downstairs .. there is also an option to use a small single bed on the balcony area. Please be aware that as the space is open plan, privacy could be an issue for some and the stairs make it unsuitable for toddlers.

Guest access
The annex is a fully equipped space. There is a dedicated parking area outside in the yard and a little terrace with table and chairs. You are welcome to walk around our property which includes a short walk to Man of War Cove, our private beach.

Other things to note
Please be advised that we have 4 largeish friendly dogs who do not have free reign but you may encounter them.
Our land is bordered by the sea and beautiful cliffs which is yours to explore. Please take reasonable caution when walking. It is a wildlife sanctuary with plenty of biodiversity. Please leave everything as you find it. We do not allow the use of drones or fireworks and we ask that you don't share exact location on social media platforms.

Where you’ll be

County Cork, Ireland

We have some lovely walks taking in great views on our property. Within a few miles, Nohoval Cove is worth a visit with its deep waters and imposing seastacks, (a Lonely Planet must see) Rocky Bay and Roberts Cove are two nearby sandy beaches. Tracton Woods near Minane Bridge offers a nice hike and there is a river walk beside the church.

Born in the 60s
Where I went to school: Glengara Park, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin
I am a ceramic artist, with a background in graphic design. I have lived and worked in the UK and Australia and travelled extensively. Ireland, where I was born, has been home for the last 30 years with Gidi, my partner and our two kids. We spent 12 of those years converting an old stone building into our home, in the yard of the family farm. We love where we live and happy to share our stories and our beautiful coastal corner with our guests.
