    “We had a fantastic stay at The Schooner, such a beautiful spacious house.”

    The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. It was warm, cosy and very clean. We enjoyed lovely walks in the area and the walk to Goleen village along the path is lovely. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it as a fantastic base for a West Cork break. Thank you very much.

The ground floor plays host to a twin room with views over towards the sea and a single room, sharing use of the modern shower facilities.

Also on this level is an open-plan living room with a well appointed kitchen and large dining area at which to gather together for home cooked meals.

The lounge area boasts a cosy open fire and patio doors leading through to the sun room.

Take yourself off for a quiet read under the natural light, or better still, open the doors out onto the terrace and feel that fresh coastal breeze drifting through.

Use the second sitting room in your down time, for snuggling in front of the glowing woodburner or choosing a board game and getting competitive with the family around the dining table.

Upstairs, find the spacious master kig-size bedroom and another king-size double room.

The family bathroom occupies a deep-soaking bath tub and hand-held shower for you to indulge after a long day exploring.
