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.

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
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.

A small piece of real Ireland in an old fishing village.Full of Character and is very warm and cosy on the cold February nights.We've been coming here for the last 4 years, and have never been disappointed. The Mary Ann's restaurant is right opposite, the food ( & Guinness ) is excellent.Castletownshend is 10mins off the main road but is well worth the drive ; also means is is pretty quiet place to stay. Kate & Anne are ,very very Helpful Hosts.Even to the Point of posting me , my dirty washing that i left behind this year. ( now that is sevice )!Hope this helps you make up your mind to stay in one of most beautiful parts of Ireland and enjoy the views.Charlie

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.
