About this cottage rental
Ocean's End is an ideal base to explore the unadulterated splendour of the West Cork coastline. The cottage sits comfortably on the dramatic and rugged Seven Heads Peninsula and is a mere 400 metre stroll from the cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect location to relax and unwind and immerse oneself in the natural unspoilt beauty of the surrounding landscape. There are a myriad of sandy swimming beaches at its door step and the multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty is a short drive away.
The cottage has 2 double ensuite bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms as well as a main bathroom upstairs. The extensive living space that stretches from a compact, contemporary kitchen through to a sunny South facing dining room, occupies one half of the ground floor. From here you can choose to dine al fresco on the adjacent paved terrace. The lounge is comfortably furnished with a welcoming wood-burning stove and a sumptuous snuggly sofa. Across the hallway the sitting room features another wood-burning stove, a classic corner sofa and a generous tv for movie nights in. The space at the rear of the ground floor hosts a boot room, with guest WC, utility room and a shower, all cottage-styled with a home-makers detailing and skill. A wonderful outdoor seating area is provided, and sheltered garden room, should the weather turn inclement. The log burning fire, complete with cooking racks for grilling steaks and burgers is an enchanting bonus for those long evenings. Also included is a charcoal bbq and a wood-burning pizza oven.
Ocean's End sits adjacent to an award winning dairy enterprise so early morning milking excursions can be arranged, affording you a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with nature and immerse yourself in the best of what West Cork farm life has to offer. Your reward – a bottle of fresh creamy milk straight from the cow to enjoy with a well-earned breakfast. Don’t forget to pack your wellies!

Im sorry about the broken glass. I bumped the top and it cracked. I left the salt grinder on the back of the counter with a small sliver of plastic that was broken off inside. Not sure if you can fix. We had the best time and enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

What a wonderful stay! The house was immaculate. The attention to detail was second to none. Everything was just perfect. We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a rural retreat in Co. Cork.

The drive to and from the cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Driving through narrow country roads with miles of stone walls covered in wild flowers, grass, and moss is an experience all in itself. The cottage was immaculately maintained, spacious, and stocked with activities for the whole family, teens included. Picturesque views from every window and walls decorated by art from local artists and the collection of books by Irish authors to enjoy during our stay added to the experience. Reading Claire Keegan while overlooking the pastures and coast line was bliss, especially when accompanied by the homemade shortbread cookies complements of our hosts, Deidre and John. Did we mention the complementary fresh soda bread, milk, and sample of the local Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur? Delicious. We were even able to pick up a bottle at the airport on our way home. Another highlight of our stay at the cottage and in Ireland were the cows feeding in the pastures just outside the cottage. Loved the cows. Our walk to the cliffs with John and Deidreʻs dogs added to the experience. The surrounding communities were friendly and generous with their patience as we navigated the roads, numerous grocery stores, and local attractions. There are a lot of local shopping and activities within short driving distance of the cottage. Our only regret is not staying longer. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Ocean's End was immaculately clean on arrival and completely equipped for a family's needs. The gifts on a arrival were a great touch, and the house felt very homely whilst still being very smart and luxurious. Excellent location, suoer relaxing and tranquil, but easy to get to attractions from too.
