A charming old stone farmhouse nestled in a rocky hillside with views over Dumanus Bay. Cotton's Cottage has been in our family for about 50 years and is restored as a comfortable holiday home with typical cottage characteristics (traditional low ceilings and steep narrow stairs which give it a cosy atmosphere!)
A leafy lane leads to the fishing and farming village of Ahakista which lies at the centre of the Sheep's Head peninsular with its 200km walking route.
The real charm of the cottage is its tranquility and beautiful setting. For those looking for more activity there is something for the gourmet, the golfer, the cyclist, the surfer, the fisherman, the sailor, the gardener....in particular, the walker.
The ground floor has a sitting room with original inglenook fireplace leading to a semi open plan kitchen. In the next room there is a dining room with a utility area and shower room at the back and a back door.
Up to the first floor there are 2 staircases with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom each side. On one side there is a double room, a twin room and a bathroom and on the other side there are 2 twin rooms and a bathroom.
There are bay views from 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Please note one of the staircases is original, steep and narrow.
Heating is by panel heaters, paying for what you use.
Outsider there is a terrace overlooking the view and a garden leading down to a stream. The garden is semi enclosed.

Zum dritten Mal in Ahakista Cotton's Cottages und das Gefühl, wie im Hier und Jetzt angekommen. Die Lage ist traumhaft im Herz vom Sheepshead. Viele Wandermöglichkeiten. Sheepshead Lighthouse Walk ein Muss. Ebenso das Café dort. Vielen Dank an Margaret für ihr herzliches Willkommen. Martina & Otto

Margaret war sehr freundlich. Schlüsselübergabe und Ausstattung bestens. Cottage urig, tolle Lage im Grünen mit Meerblick.Kleines Feuer im Kamin war optisch schön, strahlte aber keine Wärme ab bzw. nur Rauch. Daher ist im Herbst die Elektro-Heizung erforderlich. Elektro-Kosten sind extra zu zahlen. ...
