Lordan's Cottage is at the edge of Goleen village, around the corner from the small picturesque harbour and the sea food restaurant at Heron's Cove. A gentle walk in the evening will bring you to the restaurant, bars and other village facilities. The last village on the Mizen, Goleen is near the sandy beaches at Barley Cove and a short drive from the waterfront hamlet of Crookhaven, a well known landfall for Transatlantic sailors. The village is lively in the summer months with its own festival and a regatta at Crookhaven. A fifteen minute drive will take you back to the fashionable village of Schull and the quiet roads will take you to Bantry or Skibbereen for golf, or a wooded walk in the national park at Glengarriff. There are more restaurants and bars in Schull, along with a sailing centre, kayak and diving schools. The area is regarded as some of the finest sailing waters in the world.
