THE LAY OF THE LAND:

An open plan sitting room & kitchen downstairs is floored with rustic slate and beautiful rugs & overlooks the a stunning vista of rolling West Cork countryside.

Two steps lead up to a charming dining area which can comfortably seat 8 people (see Catering notes below!)

Next to this is a double bedroom with a window leading outside into the herb garden.

Upstairs to the left is the second bedroom which contains both double and single beds.
From here a small stone balcony has steps leading down into the garden and overlooking the rolling hills and Maloney’s beach.

Along the corridor upstairs is a bathroom including both a bath and a shower.

Beside this lies the master bedroom which has a a breathtaking view of the surrounding hillsides.

All double beds are king size & the duvets & pillows are all feather & down.

For those who can’t totally embrace the seclusion of wild West Cork, we have WIFI set up in the cottage free of charge so you can keep in touch with the outside world!

To make booking restaurants etc. easier we also provide you with a free landline to call other landlines in UK & Ireland, free of charge :)

It also has a bathroom and a kitchen with all the necessary appliances in it. This can be booked at an extra cost. Or the main house which sleeps up to 13 can be booked (VRBO Listing 975680)

THE AREA:

Dunworley is on the breathtaking Seven Heads Peninsula, part of the Wild Atlantic Way route.

A sandy tidal beach lies just a moment's walk away and offers a tranquil swim, a rugged coastline climb, or just a wander around the beach.

The walks along our headland are absolutely incredible, with a 17th century watch tower, a secluded cove and a salt tower among it's delights.

The surrounding countryside is dotted with small colourful towns and villages, which provide a range of food from irish pub grub to high restaurant quality standard.

Clonakilty, the home of Michael Collins, is just seven miles from the cottage and has a wide variety of delicious restaurants and, in particular, a traditional Irish pub where many renowned bands play, De Barra's.
There is also the spoiling Incheydoney Spa with an indoor sea water pool and a thalassic health spa.

Bandon and Lisselan offer great golf clubs - Bandon (18 holes) and Lisselan (six holes).

Bandon also offers fishing on the sea trout and salmon river, day passes are available.
Kilcoleman fishery is well worth the day.

You can follow the Wild Atlantic Way from Dunworley to Kinsale for a stunning drive.

Be it during the day for some sightseeing (from 17th century forts to rugged walks along the headlands Kinsale is a haven for tourists) or by night for an uplifting irish experience, lively pubs host some excellent bands.

Courtmacsherry is another beautiful harbour town, just 5 miles away and has sailing, riding, sea fishing, and windsurfing facilities along the beautiful strand.

Barryroe Co-Op is the nearest shop, 2.5 miles away.

And the nearest pub is 1.5 miles away.

Cozy cottage in beautiful setting
We loved our time here. The cottage was so charming and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. The proximity to the beach was ideal with a lot of coastline to explore. Gilly was very welcoming and helped make the stay feel very welcoming.

Loving Ireland.
The property was great. Gilly, the host was great!! VRBO was bad. They treated our host like crap. They didn't send us our final bill on time and somehow they were putting the blame on our host VRBO is getting to big to give the proper respect to their hosts. People should check other options out. Thank you.

Picturesque Dunworley Cottage
We had a lovely stay with our 4 college age kids. We were happily surprised to find farm fresh eggs, butter, homemade marmalade and delicious Dunworley Organic Greens in the refrigerator. The cottage is very comfortable, perfectly clean and well organized. The setting is charming inside and out. We recommend this home and hope to come again.

Host profile image
We have a small garden in West Cork which we farm organically.
We have two cottages on the property which we rent out.

Why they chose this property

Dunworley is somewhere that we used to visit a lot, being the most beautiful beach in Ireland! The property used to be the famous organic restaurant, Dunworley Cottage Restaurant, where we we would often eat.
When it came on the market we fell in love and moved here with our family to start out own organic small holding.
We couldn't resist having the most breathtaking vistas on our doorstep!

What makes this property unique

You can have a delicious gourmet dinner cooked by a professional chef.

Incomparable walks on the Seven Heads Peninsula (on the Wild Atlantic Way) with incredible views.
