Perfect for Family Stays or Small Groups
Valley View House is a beautifully restored two-storey farmhouse, nestled in the heart of the tranquil Mealagh Valley, in the peaceful townland of Dromsullivan—just a 10-minute drive northeast of Bantry, West Cork. Facing south, the property enjoys sweeping views across the valley, making it an ideal rural escape for nature lovers, walkers, cyclists, photographers, writers, stargazers, and families seeking a quiet base with easy access to town.
The house retains its original stonework, blending timeless character with modern comfort. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is bright and welcoming, with a wet room and WC for added convenience. Upstairs, you'll find three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms: two spacious rooms with king-size beds—one with a sleek en-suite—and a third with twin beds, alongside a stylish bathroom featuring a generous walk-in shower.
The Mealagh Valley is one of West Cork’s hidden gems—an ancient, scenic landscape rich in history and wildlife. From standing stones and stone circles to the gentle flow of the Mealagh River, the valley offers a peaceful setting for walking, hiking, and exploring. The surrounding farmland, woodlands, and wildflower verges are home to foxes, badgers, herons, and even the occasional otter.
Just down the road, Bantry is a lively harbour town brimming with history, creativity, and coastal charm. From Bantry House & Gardens to kayaking in the bay, Friday markets, and whale-watching tours, there’s plenty to discover. The town also hosts renowned festivals like the West Cork Chamber Music Festival and Masters of Tradition, with live music year-round in welcoming pubs such as Ma Murphy’s and The Mariner Bar. Dining options abound, with favourites including The Fish Kitchen, The Donemark West, and Organico Café.
Valley View House is also perfectly placed for day trips to Whiddy Island, the Sheep’s Head and Beara Peninsulas, Mizen Head, and Glengarriff with its boat trips to Garnish Island. Whether you're after dramatic coastal walks, mountain drives, or a pint in a quiet island pub, there's something for everyone.
Valley View House is a wonderful base for a memorable family holiday or a peaceful retreat in the heart of County Cork. Note: This property can be booked with Ref 1173254, together sleeping up to eight guests.

Spacious - for us as a couple it was more than adequate.
Superb location. On hill overlooking the beautiful Mealaugh ? valley Very tranquil. Excellent base for exploring a stunningly beautiful area full of history and varied landscapes Hostess Caroline very kind and helpful. Would be happy to stay here again
A fantastic house in a wonderful location.
They’ve thought of everything you could possibly wish for. The landlords are very friendly, especially their dog Lucy! We’d recommend this house to anyone looking to holiday in this area.
What an absolutely lovely cottage.
The beds and sofas were super comfy, the views were stunning and we had everything we needed. We loved the way the cottage has been renovated - it has been done thoughtfully, tastefully and in an environmentally friendly way. Caroline, our host, was really helpful and welcoming - all in all we had a brilliant week!
