    “We had a wonderful week.”

    Lovely welcome from Abina and Tim. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and delightful. Set in the countryside within easy distance of so many nearby sights. We went to Blarney Castle, Gougane Barra, a stunningly beautiful national park, Kilmichael ambush site, Union Hall, Glandore and Rineen on the coast, kayaking around some amazing scenery, Brandon and Dunmanway, where there was great history to discover.

    Lovely welcome from Abina and Tim. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and delightful. Set in the countryside within easy distance of so many nearby sights. We went to Blarney Castle, Gougane Barra, a stunningly beautiful national park, Kilmichael ambush site, Union Hall, Glandore and Rineen on the coast, kayaking around some amazing scenery, Brandon and Dunmanway, where there was great history to discover. The Methodist Church in Dunmanway is now occupied by the historical society and has a superb collection of local historical artifacts and information. Vivianne and Tim were very helpful. We spent a few fascinating hours there discovering the real history of the area. St Mary's Church in Dunmanway has recently gained 8 new church bells, we were taken up to the belfry and allowed to ring tunes. Locals have knitted a copy of the Sam MacGuire cup for the All Ireland GAA competition and it sits on the window ledge in pride of place. The churchyard is where Sam MacGuire is buried. The last Friday of the month in the Greyhound bar in Dunmanway, locals come together to sing their Irish songs. A true delight. All in all a superb holiday and would completely recommend.

The property

Dunmanway 3.3 miles.

Waterfall House is a delightful, end-terrace, single-storey cottage nestled on the outskirts of Dunmanway, County Cork.

The cottage offers far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside, off-road parking, and is pet-friendly, making an ideal base for a romantic getaway for two in Ireland.

A small porch with seating welcomes you in before stepping into the beautifully furnished, open-plan living space with a combination of traditional and quirky décor.

The sitting area is a relaxing spot where you can start the woodburning stove, choose a book or DVD from the selection, and sink into the armchairs.

Set the table for four, whilst your other half prepares a home-cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen complete with an electric oven and hob and a drinks tray ready for an afternoon tipple.

Guests also have access to a shared laundry room and a front garden with outdoor seating to enjoy the lovely rural views.

When it's time to rest, there is a double bedroom with a wall-mounted TV, storage space, and an en-suite bathroom.

Start your holiday by exploring the market town of Dunmanway where you'll find a selection of traditional Irish pubs including The Southern Bar, supermarkets, and a variety of shops, cafés, and boutiques.

Walkers will find their paradise in the nearby Nowen Hill Forest Recreational Area with the ruins of Castledonovan and the Clodagh Standing Stones both nearby.

You'll also have easy access to the coast where the stately mansion of Bantry House, Bantry Bay Golf Club, Shanvallybeg Beach, and boat tours to Whiddy Island await.

Head south to the town of Skibbereen, home to the West Cork Arts Centre, Skibbereen Golf Club, farmers markets, and Skibbereen Heritage Centre to discover the area's rich history.

Or perhaps take a scenic drive to the city of Cork where you'll find The English Market, Cork City Gaol, and the Crawford Art Gallery.

Waterfall House offers two guests an idyllic, romantic retreat in a beautiful region of Ireland.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of €150.
