Photos and Description of the County Cork vacation cottage rental Renovated stone cottage & barn with large garden, pond & pool.

LAHARANDOTA - The Artists' Cottage, an old stone farmhouse recently owned by retired American painter Frank Russell, now fully renovated to include slate floors, old beams and stone walls. Set in over an acre of land and surrounded by fields with extensive views over the sea and the Mizen Head. Ideal for those looking for a relaxing holiday or weekend retreat, for walkers/cyclists or families, with its large garden, spring, pond and small outdoor pool (solar heated). Located 4 miles west of local village Kilcrohane, and a scenic half-hour drive from the busy market town of Bantry with its great restaurants and pubs. Stroll down the lane from the cottage directly on to The Sheep's Head Way, one of Ireland's 31 Waymarked Ways (marked trails). The peninsula's natural wild beauty makes its 55 mile trail stand out from others and offers an exciting challenge for all keen walkers. If, however, you're not a 'wild rover', there's always riding, sailing, kayaking, diving, golf...

Guest Comments: 'It is a fabulous place to stay - we found ourselves spending lots of time just pottering around the cottage because it was so lovely. We will definitely come again and will recommend it to our friends.' Gerry & Liz, Gloucestershire (April 2008). 'Thank you so much for the weekend. I must say your cottage is spectacular - you have a real eye for interiors and the quality of the renovation and furnishings is stunning. We had 3 days of great weather, the kids were even swimming in the sea. They didn't want to leave and now want to live there!' Adam & Jane, Hertfordshire (May 2008). 'Thank you for a wonderful 3 days in your beautiful cottage. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. We absolutely fell in love with The Artists' Cottage and the surrounding area.' Jayne & Gordon, Rockingham, Australia (June 2008).

'We had a fabulous time. The setting was wonderful and the cottage was just gorgeous. Daniel loved his cute little bedroom. He was even brave enough to swim in the pool!' Pamela & Roger, Glasgow (July 2008). 'Thank you for providing such a welcoming, comfortable taste of rustic charm for we city-dwellers. We all loved everything about the cottage. Of course the swimming pool is the icing on the cake - luckily the weather was glorious so we chilled out and lazed by the pool or braved its invigorating freshness!' John & Susan, Edinburgh (July 2008). 'Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the cottage. It is in a beautiful and unspoilt location and the views across the bay are something to remember. The quality of the finish and furnishing in The Artists' Cottage are incredible, really beautiful. We had some really lovely times there and we will remember it with great affection.' Susan & Phil, Hampshire (August 2008).

A wonderful cottage in a wonderful place

LRMcr Manchester England
Review Submitted: November 7, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We were captivated by the cottage from the moment we arrived. Just being in it was a treat, and on those windy rainy October days when we stayed in, it was lovely just to sit by the log fire, relaxing with a book and watching the weather roll by. To say the cottage was well equipped is an under-statement. Everything we needed was there, and more. And it was so comfortable and homely. Better than my home, actually!! On sunny days, it was a short walk to the sea shore, and we really appreciated the bikes in the garage for popping down the lane to the local village, just 3 miles away. On a sunny day, the natural beauty of the area is simply stunning.

chilling out

weegeoff coleraine, N.Ireland
Review Submitted: November 11, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We spent 8 memorable days, basking in the glories of the Irish autumn (sunshine, a little rain and mist, varied hues of green, brown, purple and blue), and relaxing at the superbly equipped Laharandota cottage. Arrived in glorious sunshine, and dived into the welcoming blue pool, along with those in my family equally devoid of common sense. We had a bracing dip every day of our stay. The cottage itself had a useful welcome package, and was amply stocked with logs and kindling. So like the pool, the open fire was a daily ritual. There was plenty to do, with segments of the Sheeps Head Way in close proximity. Manageable 1 to 3 hour walks were the order of the day. The signal tower walk and lighthouse walks were probably the most rewarding. The highest point on the peninsula (Seefin) is also a fairly easy 1 hour walk from the mountain pass viewpoint carpark. There a couple of adult bikes in the shed (long legs required), and cycling round the area is fun also, especially if you don't mind getting a little mucky. On a slightly negative note the nearest pub is 2 to 3 miles away, and could be a long enough stagger home. There is a decent enough shop in the post office of the nearest village Kilcrohane, and a supermarket In Durrus (45 mins away ) for your provisions. Eating out again probably best around Durrus and Bantry. My favourite was O'Connor's seafood restaurant in Bantry for scallops, mussels, lobster etc. We'd definitely come back again, in summer or spring, and if it was a little warmer, probably lounge poolside quite a bit. The kids had a ball, each had their own bedroom, and all really enjoyed it. Even if it rains, there's things to do outdoors. I mentioned cycling, but here's also a quad biking centre near Skibbereen (see the west Cork for kids booklet in the cottage), not for the health and safety conscious, but fantastic fun in the mud.
All in all, the artist's cottage is a really good spot. Thanks Julie!

Truly a little piece of Paradise

travellingduo88 Rockingham, Perth, Australa
Review Submitted: July 7, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My husband and I recently spent 4 wonderful nights at this delightful cottage. We had never been to Ireland before and had no idea of what to expect but from our first contact with Julie I knew we were in for a special experience. Julie had told us it was a 2 hour drive from Cork Airport and that she would be there to greet us. It took us exactly 2 hours to drive there and Julie's welcome was warm, inviting and informative. There was a gorgeous bunch of flowers along with a basket of goodies as a welcome package. Although we had studied the photos we were not prepared for how absolutely delightful the cosy yet remarkably spacious cottage would be. Nor had we imagined the raw beauty of Sheep's Head Peninsula. Julie has thought of everything down to the tiniest detail to make for the perfect stay. There was every modern convenience imaginable along with so many homely touches. The cottage was inn imaculate condition and oozed charm and character with subtle, soothing decor. We absolutely loved soaking in the hip bath (even had water glimpses from the bath) and then curling up in front of the crackling fire in the evenings after a day of exploring.. The cottage is far enough from everything to feel that you are in a truly special place yet close enough to so many areas of interest and beauty is all around.
We fell under the spell of the Artist's cottage and Sheeps Head Peninsula and dream of returning one day (all the way from Australia). Thank you to Julie for sharing this little piece of Paradise. Jayne and Gordon
