Dunmanus Pier Cottage | Seaside escape, garden, sea access, pet-friendly

We had a wonderful week, the cottage has all you need and more.

If you want to watch the sea, listen to birds, and completely relax, this is the place for you. The house is obviously very well loved and has everything you need to be comfy and feel at home. The surrounding area is also wonderful.

The house is in a fabulous location with beautiful views out to the Sheeps Head Peninsula and is very comfortable with all essential facilities. Facing west it also benefits from fabulous sunsets. Our only minor reservation related to the extra payments (and difficult meter readings) for electricity and oil (not mentioned in the original description only in the joining instructions). Although the cost for us was low we would have preferred this to have been built into the overall price.

Myself ,Husband and our dogs had a wonderful stay here, we were blessed with stunning weather for the entire week in June. A haven for wildlife, the location of the house is spot on and we even got to see 2 otters play in the sea at the end of the garden one evening along with bats skimming the water , oystercatchers, whimbrels, herons....... At certain times during the day there can be a lot of activity on the pier, if you have anxious dogs like us this can be easily rectified by putting up the windbreakers in the shed for added privacy in the garden. The house is beautiful ,fully equipped for all your needs however the owners might invest in freesat for the TV just for the evenings as its not near a village but all in all 5 star!!!!!!

It is hard to find the perfect combination of character, comfort and location in a self-catering property, but Dunmanus Pier Cottage ticks all the boxes. My wife and I had a wonderful week there with our springer spaniel, enjoying long walks along the quiet roads and soaking up the beautiful scenery. It was a special bonus to see an otter feeding on crabs on the steps of the pier and watching a seal bobbing up and down in the bay. The cottage is also ideally located for trips to Crookhaven, Barleycove and Schull or slightly further afield to the marvellous Gougane Barra. It's very special and we'll be back!

Cottage is so beautiful and full of character and extremely comfortable Amazing views of the bay with the fishermen coming and going each day who rescued our football from the sea on 2 occasions! Great walks from the house up past the castle ruins Perfect as a central location as a few different towns within a 10 min drive with great coffee shops and wonderful seafood, Friday market in Bantry worth seeing and Barleycove beach is stunning, continue on the Mizen head drive for amazing views! Loved Crookhaven only a 15 min drive from the house Would love to return to both the cottage and West Cork!

Absolute bliss - a true Irish cottage where the owners have thought of your every possible need. Located right on the water's edge with not a sound to be heard by day or by night and a short drive from Schull, Goleen, Crookhaven and Durrus where there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops. We'll be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Dunmanus Pier House. It is in a great location. The house is clean and has everything you need with added touches. Great scenery for walks, the fisherman at the pier to watch and some seals. Secluded but still close to Schull or daily latte/chocolate fix. We have come home stress free and would definetely do this one again. Looks like we will have to book in advance...

This was our first visit to Ireland and staying in this stone cottage made our trip everything we hoped it would be. This place was amazing. The location was perfect. We spent 4 nights here and then explored County Kerry. We all felt the highlight of our trip was the time we spent at this cottage and around the Mizen Peninsula. It was beautiful! It's hard to convey the special feelings we felt in this area. We had two couples in our party. We put the two twin beds in the loft together and thought that was fun. The other couple stayed in the bedroom. We had no problems with privacy. After exploring the area each day we would settle back at the cottage, start a fire, make a fantastic meal and then play darts, snookers or cards. From the moment we walked inside this cottage we felt at home. We were sorry when we had to say goodbye. I thoroughly recommend this place. The four of us commented how much we want our parents and children to stay here - it's that kind a place.

Dunmanus Pier is a magnificent holiday cottage suitable for families even those with young children. Enjoying a superb waterside location and equiped with every appliance that could be needed, you will have a great time and probably look to book again as soon as possible. Highly recommended.
