About this cottage rental
Passing through an archway into the courtyard of Shana Court, a customs house, Shana Cottage was originally the stables. Castletownshend is within easy access (52 miles) of Cork Airport. The village provides an excellent base to explore the magnificent surrounding countryside, coastline and beaches by car or foot. Opposite Shana Cottage is the award winning Mary Ann’s pub which produces fine quality local seafood with a bar and restaurant menu. The village has a public stony beach which is clean and safe for swimming, and a public pier suitable for launching small boats. West Cork is one of the best places in Europe for seeing whales, dolphins and seals. Trips out to see them can be arranged, where you are picked up from the public pier. There is plenty of scenic walking in the area, including Knockdrum Stone Circle just outside the village and the ‘Five Fingers’ standing stones close by.

We spent four nights in this cozy cottage in Castletownshend and I wished we had more time. What a lovely home base! It was well stocked, right across the street from the wonderful Maryann’s Bar and we had some of our best sleeps there because it was so quiet. We would definitely stay again!

The place was absolutely a gem! Breathtaking and warm. The communication by texting was great, considering I couldn't call by phone. Exactly as we thought it would be for the structure. The restaurant across the street was great and the ambiance. The entire village was interesting and quite a lot of scenery to drive to. I recommend this place.

No seals on doors and windows made for a dafty stay. Many of the updates to the property, do not appear to be finished, for example carpeting isn’t tacked down to the floor, or sealing on the bath drain.
