    “A Beautiful Cottage, with everything we could of asked for inside.”

    The house guide was very easy to help us get comfortable with our surroundings, and was explained is a great way. The kitchen got the most praise out of our group, the appliances offered allowed for some easy and quick cooking. The surroundings where peaceful, the home was warm. There are some amazing scenic drives at your feet.

The property

Ballylickey 1.1 miles, Bantry 2.4 miles.

Farmhouse is a charming retreat near the village of Ballylickey on the shores of Bantry Bay. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing meals to be enjoyed in the dining room, warmed by the glow of the woodburning stove.

Alternately it can be enjoyed on the timber decking if weather permits. The “dairy” with its two rocking chairs has some books and children’s games for your rainy day activities. The utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer ensuring all your laundry needs are catered for during your stay. The sitting room provides a warm and inviting space to unwind after a day’s exploring. The property boasts two inviting double bedrooms, offering a peaceful retreat to rest and rejuvenate.

The shower room with large walk-in shower serves both bedrooms.

Downstairs you also have an electric shower and w.c. Outside you will find lots of lawn space to the front and side of the house.

The higher lawn to the side has a fabulous view out over Bantry Bay and Whiddy island.

Here you will see the stables with some horses and foals. The decking with its table and chairs gets the sun in the morning and during the day, and makes it ideal for outdoor dining, while the small patio area in the front lawn is ideal to relax and soak up the evening sun while listening to the sounds of the countryside.

During the summer months make your way to Snave beach or Snave pier where you can enjoy a swim in the wild Atlantic Ocean. Your relaxing retreat awaits you at Aunties offering a perfect balance between peaceful rejuvenation and coastal adventure.
