Near Ballydehob, Schull and Bantry, in West Cork Ireland
Facing south over Roaring Water Bay and Ballydehob, this old cottage has recently been restored to a high standard: it is warm and dry and provides lovely self catering accommodation for year round living.
The setting, not far from the sea, is rural and peaceful: Mount Gabriel stands to the west, hills and forestry are behind (to the north), just over the hill are Dunmanus Bay and Bantry Bay. To the east is the vibrant market town of Skibbereen and to the west the village of Schull, the sailing centre of Roaring Water Bay. This is wonderfully beautiful scenery.

The area There are ferry boats out to the islands in Roaringwater Bay - that's another world again. Ferry boats leave from Schull in the summer months and Baltimore throughout the year.
There are many beautiful sandy beaches for enjoying picnicking, swimming, body surfing, kayaking and sailing. This is a fabulous place to tour from - and west Cork and Kerry can be explored in day trips from Lisin na Cre. The Beara Peninsula is my favourite, but the choice is endless.
Golf courses offer plenty of choice, horse riding can be arranged. Archaeological trips, local hill walking and exploring can be undertaken by anyone.
The Ballydehob Jazz Festival is a must for May bank holiday. The West Cork Chamber Music Festival is held at the magnificent Bantry House from June 27th - July 5th. Also taking place in Bantry during July is the acclaimed West Cork Literary Festival featuring some of the top authors and poets of our time.
Dining We are real "foodies" in west Cork with local, organically grown fresh produce sold everywhere and at farmer's markets. So cook well at home and try local meat, fish, cheeses, vegetables, and salads with just the very best breads. Or be tempted to eat out by any of the excellent restaurants and pubs. Just over the hill at Durrus, Carmel Somers (used to cook at Bibendum and at Sally Clarke in London), runs The Good Things Cafe in July and August, and then cooking courses for the rest of the year. Book well ahead for both of these. On nearby Heir Island John Desmond and Ellmary Fenton run the gourmet Island Cottage restaurant but be sure to book early.

Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
