THE AREA:

Dunworley is on the breathtaking Seven Heads Peninsula, part of the Wild Atlantic Way route.

A sandy tidal beach lies just a moment's walk away and offers a tranquil swim, a rugged coastline climb, or just a wander around the beach.

The walks along our headland are absolutely incredible, with a 17th century watch tower, a secluded cove and a salt tower among it's delights.

The surrounding countryside is dotted with small colourful towns and villages, which provide a range of food from irish pub grub to high restaurant quality standard.

Clonakilty, the home of Michael Collins, is just seven miles from the cottage and has a wide variety of delicious restaurants and, in particular, a traditional Irish pub where many renowned bands play, De Barra's.
There is also the spoiling Incheydoney Spa with an indoor sea water pool and a thalassic health spa.

Bandon and Lisselan offer great golf clubs - Bandon (18 holes) and Lisselan (six holes).

Bandon also offers fishing on the sea trout and salmon river, day passes are available.
Kilcoleman fishery is well worth the day.

You can follow the Wild Atlantic Way from Dunworley to Kinsale for a stunning drive.

Be it during the day for some sightseeing (from 17th century forts to rugged walks along the headlands Kinsale is a haven for tourists) or by night for an uplifting irish experience, lively pubs host some excellent bands.

Courtmacsherry is another beautiful harbour town, just 5 miles away and has sailing, riding, sea fishing, and windsurfing facilities along the beautiful strand.

Barryroe Co-Op is the nearest shop, 2.5 miles away.

And the nearest pub is 1.5 miles away.

    My wife and i were hoping for a charming cottage close to the. sea. We found it. Gilly and Richard we always helpful and responsive to all questions or requests. Be sure to do your shopping ahead of arriving. There are not stores in the immediate area. They were even grateful we brought the sunshine with us.

    We were happy to be upgraded to the large, comfortable, impressive home. The surroundings are stunning! Gorgeous ocean views, cows, birds, dogs- suzy & honey. Gilly was a lovely hostess and prepared a delicious breakfast for us. We would love to return!

    We loved our time here. The cottage was so charming and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. The proximity to the beach was ideal with a lot of coastline to explore. Gilly was very welcoming and helped make the stay feel very welcoming.

    The property was great. Gilly, the host was great!! VRBO was bad. They treated our host like crap. They didn't send us our final bill on time and somehow they were putting the blame on our host VRBO is getting to big to give the proper respect to their hosts. People should check other options out. Thank you.

    We had a lovely stay with our 4 college age kids. We were happily surprised to find farm fresh eggs, butter, homemade marmalade and delicious Dunworley Organic Greens in the refrigerator. The cottage is very comfortable, perfectly clean and well organized. The setting is charming inside and out. We recommend this home and hope to come again.

    The property was even more lovely than pictures. The rooms were very large, and the garden was beautiful . Daniel was very easy to get in touch with, and very accommodating. My son got sick so he was gracious enough to let us check in a little early,. We were a little cold, but it got much cozier when we remembered to used the fireplace downstairs.

    A charming and cozy cottage that fully lived up to the pictures and descriptions. The dinner by owner-chef Gilley was excellent! I took my daughter, son-in-law, and two young grandchildren for two nights and it was ample accommodation for all. The setting (3 minute walk to beautiful beach) and surrounding area was full of terrific outdoor adventures. My daughter, an author, said it would be the absolute perfect place to steel away to write a novel! Thank you Richard and Gilley!
