THE AREA:

Dunworley is on the breathtaking Seven Heads Peninsula, part of the Wild Atlantic Way route.

A sandy tidal beach lies just a moment's walk away and offers a tranquil swim, a rugged coastline climb, or just a wander around the beach.

The walks along our headland are absolutely incredible, with a 17th century watch tower, a secluded cove and a salt tower among it's delights.

The surrounding countryside is dotted with small colourful towns and villages, which provide a range of food from irish pub grub to high restaurant quality standard.

Clonakilty, the home of Michael Collins, is just seven miles from the cottage and has a wide variety of delicious restaurants and, in particular, a traditional Irish pub where many renowned bands play, De Barra's.
There is also the spoiling Incheydoney Spa with an indoor sea water pool and a thalassic health spa.

Bandon and Lisselan offer great golf clubs - Bandon (18 holes) and Lisselan (six holes).

Bandon also offers fishing on the sea trout and salmon river, day passes are available.
Kilcoleman fishery is well worth the day.

You can follow the Wild Atlantic Way from Dunworley to Kinsale for a stunning drive.

Be it during the day for some sightseeing (from 17th century forts to rugged walks along the headlands Kinsale is a haven for tourists) or by night for an uplifting irish experience, lively pubs host some excellent bands.

Courtmacsherry is another beautiful harbour town, just 5 miles away and has sailing, riding, sea fishing, and windsurfing facilities along the beautiful strand.

Barryroe Co-Op is the nearest shop, 2.5 miles away.

And the nearest pub is 1.5 miles away.

This was a wonderful, peaceful place to stay on our trip. They had a fire waiting for us when we got there They have two amazing dogs that came a visited us , my wife's favorite time was playing with them .I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to rest. They also have a washing machine so we were able to do laundry and that was very helpful.We are glad we stayed here

It was with much anticipation that we arrived at Dunworley Cottage for part of our 12 night stay in Ireland and it did not disappoint! Rich greeted us on arrival and acquainted us with the cottage leaving us to settle in and enjoy the coal fire he’d prepared for us. The cottage was spotless and really felt like home. From the beautiful countryside outside our windows to Dunworley Bay awaiting at the end of the driveway there was no lack of gorgeous views!! I loved having breakfast and coffee on the patio in the mornings, exploring the beach with its fantastic caves while rock collecting in the afternoon and warming up by the fire in the evenings. Rich recommended a beautiful hiking path for us and we got to meet Gilly when she brought us some fresh radishes from their garden - she was a delight! These were in addition to the fresh eggs, milk, butter and salad greens that awaited us on our arrival. Our two nights here were the most relaxing of our trip and I only wish we’d been able to stay one more night! Highly, highly recommended!!!
