Apparently the owners have just refurbished the bathrooms and kitchen so the facilities are modern up to date and the whole place was spotlessly clean throughout. You can see the Fastnet lighthouse from the window in the master bedroom, there are two sitting rooms and a huge deck looking out over fields an out to the sea.

    Wow - what a beautiful house in such a beautiful place. Apparently the owners have just refurbished the bathrooms and kitchen so the facilities are modern up to date and the whole place was spotlessly clean throughout. You can see the Fastnet lighthouse from the window in the master bedroom, there are two sitting rooms and a huge deck looking out over fields an out to the sea. This fabulous house is set in a lovely big garden and there is a path all the way down the land into the village, so it’s quick and safe to get down to Goleen. I couldn’t recommend it more highly, we will definitely be back again this year and next.
