Pet-friendly stone farmhouse on the Sheep's Head

Spectacular views from every window. The weather was too cold to enjoy the pool. But That Cottage was just epic! It was gorgeous and perfectly appointed in every room. Very memorable. I will remember this place for a lifetime and plan on returning next year!!! Our hostess was superb! Kind and attentive. She adds to all my fond memories of the cottage. Thank you Julie!

Amazing location! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Julie was a wonderful host and we had a terrific time staying in this charming and thoughtfully renovated cottage. Everything was spotlessly clean and the home came very well equipped. We can't wait to come back and enjoy Sheep's Head again. Thanks so much, Julie! We really appreciated your generosity and kindness! M.

This home is like a hug for your soul. The owner has thought of everything and there are beautiful touches throughout representing the local area. It doesn't matter what the weather this home has a nook to enjoy, from the sunroom and the pool on sunny days to the snug or living room in front of the fire on cool damp days. Waking up to the view of the fields and the sea is magical and the night sky is stunning. The area is remote but wonderful and the drive into Bantry lovely. I plan on returning again many times in the coming years. Treat yourself and book this amazing home.

The Artist Cottage is magic! The owner has done an amazing job renovating and decorating old farm buildings. At every turn there is something fascinating to enjoy, whether paintings, old ceramics or garden nooks. The accommodations are very comfortable (I’d like my own set of sheets to take home, please!) but limiting the house accessories a bit would make it easier to find my phone when I set it down! In any case, we look forward to returning for another stay.

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in. It was perfection!

We visited for four days with three adults, one child, and two small dogs and had plenty of room. We had everything we could need and Julie provided us with plenty of information for things to do in the area. We had the benefit of wonderful weather for our whole stay, so we took advantage of the pool and the bikes. There was so much to do and explore and I'd love to return!

We rented the cottage as part of our honeymoon to Ireland and absolutely loved the place. It was cozy and comfortable! And Julie was great. She gave us detailed directions, suggestions for places to eat, detailed house instructions and even checked on us after our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely come back!

Our family holiday in West Cork was very much enhanced by staying at The Artist's Cottage. Julie has thought of every last detail. The quality of the furnishings and bedlinen etc... are 5 star standard. We enjoyed the holiday so much that we booked it the following week for next year. We are a family of 6, the oldest is 9 year old and the youngest is 9 months. If you enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, good food and high standards of accommodation then we recommend The Artist's Cottage.

Immaculate accommodation in a spectacular setting. Thoroughly recommendable.

The Studio is small but extremely tastefully decorated, with all modern appliances and cosy log burner, which we did need even though it was May. The pool is nice to look at but too cold for us!! Everything was clean and pretty new looking and the groceries on arrival was a welcoming touch. Booking and key collecting was easy and efficient. It was great for two adults but I think two more would be a squeeze and/or keeping an eye on small children with all the lovely knick-knacks around might be a problem too! However we would highly recommend it and the country side around is fantastic for a get away from it all experience.
