A perfectly reclaimed cottage with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean....

Ocean's End is an ideal base to explore the unadulterated splendour of the West Cork coastline. The cottage sits comfortably on the dramatic and rugged Seven Heads Peninsula and is a mere 400 metre stroll from the cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect location to relax and unwind and immerse oneself in the natural unspoilt beauty of the surrounding landscape. There are a myriad of sandy swimming beaches at its door step and the multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty is a short drive away.
The cottage has 2 double ensuite bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms as well as a main bathroom upstairs. The extensive living space that stretches from a compact, contemporary kitchen through to a sunny South facing dining room, occupies one half of the ground floor. From here you can choose to dine al fresco on the adjacent paved terrace. The lounge is comfortably furnished with a welcoming wood-burning stove and a sumptuous snuggly sofa. Across the hallway the sitting room features another wood-burning stove, a classic corner sofa and a generous tv for movie nights in. The space at the rear of the ground floor hosts a boot room, with guest WC, utility room and a shower, all cottage-styled with a home-makers detailing and skill. A wonderful outdoor seating area is provided, and sheltered garden room, should the weather turn inclement. The log burning fire, complete with cooking racks for grilling steaks and burgers is an enchanting bonus for those long evenings. Also included is a charcoal bbq and a wood-burning pizza oven.
Ocean's End sits adjacent to an award winning dairy enterprise so early morning milking excursions can be arranged, affording you a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with nature and immerse yourself in the best of what West Cork farm life has to offer. Your reward – a bottle of fresh creamy milk straight from the cow to enjoy with a well-earned breakfast. Don’t forget to pack your wellies!

The drive to and from the cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Driving through narrow country roads with miles of stone walls covered in wild flowers, grass, and moss is an experience all in itself. The cottage was immaculately maintained, spacious, and stocked with activities for the whole family, teens included. Picturesque views from every window and walls decorated by art from local artists and the collection of books by Irish authors to enjoy during our stay added to the experience. Reading Claire Keegan while overlooking the pastures and coast line was bliss, especially when accompanied by the homemade shortbread cookies complements of our hosts, Deidre and John. Did we mention the complementary fresh soda bread, milk, and sample of the local Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur? Delicious. We were even able to pick up a bottle at the airport on our way home. Another highlight of our stay at the cottage and in Ireland were the cows feeding in the pastures just outside the cottage. Loved the cows. Our walk to the cliffs with John and Deidreʻs dogs added to the experience. The surrounding communities were friendly and generous with their patience as we navigated the roads, numerous grocery stores, and local attractions. There are a lot of local shopping and activities within short driving distance of the cottage. Our only regret is not staying longer. Thank you for the amazing experience!

This property was magnificent. Check in was easy, the property owner had great communication leading up to our stay as well as during our stay. Many local recommendations as we were here over the St Patrick’s holiday. We were welcome with fresh milk, eggs, bread, jam, and some liqueur where their cream is used to make. The home was stunning, spotless and so cozy. View from the home are even more beautiful in person than in the photos online. This was by far our best stay and close to many local villages and a nice drive to Kinsale and Cobh. I cannot put into words how incredible our stay here was. We will be back when we come to Ireland.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The cottage was in immaculate condition – spotless, beautifully presented, and clearly cared for to the highest standard.It was incredibly comfortable, with every little detail thoughtfully considered. The amenities truly went above and beyond; everything we could possibly need was provided, and more. It felt like a home away from home, with those extra special touches that made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable.The location was fantastic – peaceful and picturesque, yet perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area.A special thank you to the wonderful hosts, Deirdre and John, who were so friendly and helpful both before and throughout our stay. The added bonus of getting to see the cows being milked and cuddling the calves was such a unique and memorable experience.We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend this cottage.

Our stay was perfect. The pictures on the app along with the narrative were spot on. We enjoyed the view and quiet environment and watching the cows come in for milking and go back out. John was a good instructor for milking cows and was a lot of fun. I will recommend this spot to my friends or anyone else looking for this kind of stay.

This has been our favorite VrBo hands down! From the moment you walked in with the smells, then the kitchen with eggs from their farm, fresh baked cookies and bread with homemade jelly! Also had fresh milk from the cows that morning! The icing on the cake was having John the husband taking the time to show the boys how to milk the cows! Can’t wait to go back!

If we could give more than 5 stars we certainly would. Deirdre and Johns place is absolutely amazing. From every detail that Deirdre created in the house, including the fresh baked Irish soda bread with jam, the Irish cream and fresh milk from the farm and the wonderfully delicious cookies. Then John took out time to include us with his busy day, to explain how their farm actually works. They were both so very gracious and kind. If you are lucky enough to plan a trip to Ireland, do yourself a huge favor and book their cottage. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you both so much,It was incredible!

Everything as described and much more

The photos of this cottage are beautiful and when you arrive you will not be disappointed as the cottage truly is that beautiful and the scenery around the cottage is even better.On arrival the cottage just feels like a home you can relax in and is extremely clean. It had lots of comforts that two teenagers enjoyed such as hot-chocolate, marshmallows, comfy sofas and a window seat that was highly coveted to enjoy the ocean view.....of course teenagers would not be happy without good WiFi which the cottage thankfully had.The kitchen is truly well equipped should you wish to cook or simply make a coffee that accompanies the delicious homemade bread and cookies.The scenery is beautiful and within a few mins walk you are on a cliff looking onto the Atlantic Ocean.The cottage is set beside a working farm and John was able to take time out to demonstrate how to milk cows which was great fun.We made use of the available BBQ and fire to cook pizza in the evening and when the temperature dropped we could simply move into the Garden Room and enjoy the views through the window.There's a well stocked store in Barryroe that is about 10 mins away. For larger stores you would need to visit Clonakilty which has a number of options but definitely check out the Scally's SuperValue and note there is a carpark behind the store which we only discovered on the last day.

Absolutely perfect

We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs all over the world and this was by far the best. From fresh milk from the cows and home baked brown bread to miles of fields to walk and ocean views to comfy beds and perfectly stocked kitchen, this place was so wonderful. Teddy the sheep (er cow) dog was an added bonus. Just in general I can’t say anything bad. It’s also really out in the country so you feel surrounded by quiet and peace.

A very special place

Others have mentioned the thoughtful touches like fresh baked bread and milk from their farm, but I want to reiterate how lovely it is to arrive to a home, not a house, where every detail has been lovingly thought of. John and Dierdre have truly created a special place that made us not want to leave. We loved our long walks on the property with only cows, green fields and the ocean in sight. I have stayed in many homes around the world but this is my new favorite. Thank you!

Beautiful Home

We stayed four nights in early April, and our stay was just beautiful. The house is pristine and cozy with lots of room to hang out inside and in the back, which has a patio, fire pit, and a kind of viewing room overlooking the ocean. The kitchen is wonderfully appointed, and there are fun little surprises everywhere. The surroundings are heavenly, with a great group of cows near the house. We spent a day in Cork, a day in Skibbereen, and a day hiking the 7 Heads trail. Deirdre is a wonderful host, and I can't say enough good things about this listing.

We had a great time over Christmas! Deirdre and John are wonderful hosts and their beautiful house offered us more comforts than we anticipated. We took walks to the nearby beach escorted by their dogs, we cooked and reconnected by the wood stoves, and we visited friendly towns nearby.
