  • Elise

    “We had a wonderful staying at Whispering Pines.”

    The house has fantastic views and is brilliantly set up for large groups. The property manager Eilis was extremely helpful and responsive. The local pubs and cafes (in walking distance) are very welcoming and friendly. We would love to return for a second visit in the future.

The property

Enjoying breath-taking, panoramic views over Dunmanas Bay in Ahakista near Kilcrohane, County Cork is Whispering Pines, a fabulous, five-bedroom home.

Resting upon the Sheep's Head Peninsula, enveloped by coastal vistas and nature-filled walking and cycling trails, Whispering Pines offers a large abode for a family of ten, looking for a rural escape with their furry companion.

Benefit from a sweeping, private driveway, before unloading your belongings and heading indoors.

Make your way into the spacious kitchen/diner, complete with state-of-the-art appliances to ease your self-catered stay, and a dining table for ten guests, perfect for formal mealtimes.

If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, take advantage of the tranquil, outdoor space encompassing the home, where you can light the barbecue and bask in your surroundings as the sun shines over West Cork.

On cooler evenings, light the stove in the sitting room and cosy up ready for a film night upon the Smart TV, before sloping off to sleep in one of five, well-appointed bedrooms; select between two king-size rooms, one benefitting from an en-suite, and three twin bedrooms.

Refresh in either of the bathrooms, both complete with a bath and a shower, before enjoying your morning coffee in the sunroom, taking in your stunning location.

About the location

DURRUS, COUNTY CORK

Bantry 10 miles; Glengariff 17 miles; Skibereen 16 miles.

Durrus is a village located at the head of Dunmanus Bay on what is called the Friendly Cove, on one of the most unspoilt coasts in Ireland, in West Cork, six miles from Bantry in County Cork. The village is the gateway to the Sheep's Head and Mizen Head peninsulas, a haven for walkers, hikers and cyclists, showcasing some of the most beautiful and spectacular scenery that Ireland has to offer. Durrus has recently been announced as a key staging post on the new Wild Atlantic Way driving route which will help tourists to explore the Irish coastline from the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal to Kinsale in County Cork. There are a number of public gardens established in the area, including Cois Abhann and Kilvarock. Durrus also benefits from a good selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes offering excellent food and traditional music through the year. Bantry is just a 20 minute drive away, and is a town of sweeping sea views and varied colourful buildings. It is home to a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants ideal for dining out or for experiencing local Irish music and culture. Bantry House is well worth a visit, sitting in an elevated position above the town and being home to a rich collection of tapestries, furniture and art, while there are also beautiful gardens to explore, which have been restored and are open to the public.
