Escape to a hideaway with amenities nearby. This attractive cottage is in a lovely quiet and secluded location on slopes of the Slieve Mish Mountains. The views over Castlemaine Harbour, Inch Strand and MacGillycuddy’s Reeks are exceptional! Picnic on the beach, enjoy a pint at the nearby bar or hike the hills… simply stunning!
The coastal style interiors are stylish and bright with spacious open plan living for six guests in three bedrooms. There’s a wood burning stove and French doors onto the garden with those amazing views… perfect for relaxing with a coffee.
Have fun on the beach at Strand with its 6 mile long stretch of sand, there’s also a bar here and restaurant just a couple of miles away. This whole area provides excellent opportunities for hill walking, climbing and mountain biking with waterfalls and lakes plus scenic drives. Keen fishermen should try their hand at bass fishing from the strand. Visit the nearby nature reserve for seabirds or take to the saddle and go horse riding at Milltown. Annascaul on the Dingle peninsula is just a couple of miles away. The village is on the Wild Atlantic Way and is popular with visitors walking the Dingle way and the many other marked trails. The town has a number of pubs for lunch and shops for your daily provisions. The fabulous beaches around Annascaul and Inch are great for swimming and surfing and there are a couple of surf schools where you can book lessons and hire boards.
Visit vibrant Dingle, this bustling town is awash with colour from the pretty fishermans cottages lining the harbour to the deep blue of the sea. Stop off at one of the famous ‘hardware pubs’ which sell beer and boots! The town has a Bohemian vibe and attracts many artists to this corner of Ireland.
