This house is wonderful. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable, and the views from the kitchen, living area & patio are absolutely spectacular. The surroundings are beautiful - wild and windswept, and stunning when the sun shines, which it did for most of our stay! Catherine (and her husband Michael) who look after the house on Roberts' behalf are a lovely couple and extremely helpful. The location of the house is perfect for exploring Mizen Head peninsula - it's 20 minutes from Schull, 20 minutes from the beautiful Barley Cove beach and 10 minutes from Goleen. Crookhaven and Mizen Head itself are also 20-30 mins away, but the journeys along the tiny country roads that wind between rocks & open up unexpected spectacular coastal views are really enjoyable in themselves. Canty's Cove (for the brave swimmer!) is 3 minutes in the car from the house, and well worth a dip (just have your route back to a hot coffee planned well in advance!). In 10 days we never left the peninsula - the landscape is so unique, and there is so much to do, that there was no need.
We would highly recommend Robert's place to anyone considering a stay in West Cork (or even a stay anywhere in Ireland) and hope to be back ourselves in future.
