A perfectly reclaimed cottage with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean....

Ocean's End is an ideal base to explore the unadulterated splendour of the West Cork coastline. The cottage sits comfortably on the dramatic and rugged Seven Heads Peninsula and is a mere 400 metre stroll from the cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect location to relax and unwind and immerse oneself in the natural unspoilt beauty of the surrounding landscape. There are a myriad of sandy swimming beaches at its door step and the multi award winning historical town of Clonakilty is a short drive away.
The cottage has 2 double ensuite bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms as well as a main bathroom upstairs. The extensive living space that stretches from a compact, contemporary kitchen through to a sunny South facing dining room, occupies one half of the ground floor. From here you can choose to dine al fresco on the adjacent paved terrace. The lounge is comfortably furnished with a welcoming wood-burning stove and a sumptuous snuggly sofa. Across the hallway the sitting room features another wood-burning stove, a classic corner sofa and a generous tv for movie nights in. The space at the rear of the ground floor hosts a boot room, with guest WC, utility room and a shower, all cottage-styled with a home-makers detailing and skill. A wonderful outdoor seating area is provided, and sheltered garden room, should the weather turn inclement. The log burning fire, complete with cooking racks for grilling steaks and burgers is an enchanting bonus for those long evenings. Also included is a charcoal bbq and a wood-burning pizza oven.
Ocean's End sits adjacent to an award winning dairy enterprise so early morning milking excursions can be arranged, affording you a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with nature and immerse yourself in the best of what West Cork farm life has to offer. Your reward – a bottle of fresh creamy milk straight from the cow to enjoy with a well-earned breakfast. Don’t forget to pack your wellies!

Our stay was perfect. The pictures on the app along with the narrative were spot on. We enjoyed the view and quiet environment and watching the cows come in for milking and go back out. John was a good instructor for milking cows and was a lot of fun. I will recommend this spot to my friends or anyone else looking for this kind of stay.

This has been our favorite VrBo hands down! From the moment you walked in with the smells, then the kitchen with eggs from their farm, fresh baked cookies and bread with homemade jelly! Also had fresh milk from the cows that morning! The icing on the cake was having John the husband taking the time to show the boys how to milk the cows! Can’t wait to go back!

If we could give more than 5 stars we certainly would. Deirdre and Johns place is absolutely amazing. From every detail that Deirdre created in the house, including the fresh baked Irish soda bread with jam, the Irish cream and fresh milk from the farm and the wonderfully delicious cookies. Then John took out time to include us with his busy day, to explain how their farm actually works. They were both so very gracious and kind. If you are lucky enough to plan a trip to Ireland, do yourself a huge favor and book their cottage. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you both so much,It was incredible!

This property has everything you will ever need for a comfortable and relaxed holiday in a stunning location in Ireland. It is obvious a lot of thought and care has gone into ensuring that everything is catered for at such a high spec and cleanliness.

Such a fantastic place to holiday in a remote and quiet setting but have all the comforts and enable you to explore the area.Thank you.

Superb high quality accommodation, with lots of extra additional touches. The welcome pack with fresh milk, butter, soda bread and lots of other little bits was fab! I can’t fault anything about Oceans End plus our host was really lovely and so helpful. This part of Ireland is beautiful, lots of lovely beaches and towns, well worth the visit.

Everything as described and much more

The photos of this cottage are beautiful and when you arrive you will not be disappointed as the cottage truly is that beautiful and the scenery around the cottage is even better.On arrival the cottage just feels like a home you can relax in and is extremely clean. It had lots of comforts that two teenagers enjoyed such as hot-chocolate, marshmallows, comfy sofas and a window seat that was highly coveted to enjoy the ocean view.....of course teenagers would not be happy without good WiFi which the cottage thankfully had.The kitchen is truly well equipped should you wish to cook or simply make a coffee that accompanies the delicious homemade bread and cookies.The scenery is beautiful and within a few mins walk you are on a cliff looking onto the Atlantic Ocean.The cottage is set beside a working farm and John was able to take time out to demonstrate how to milk cows which was great fun.We made use of the available BBQ and fire to cook pizza in the evening and when the temperature dropped we could simply move into the Garden Room and enjoy the views through the window.There's a well stocked store in Barryroe that is about 10 mins away. For larger stores you would need to visit Clonakilty which has a number of options but definitely check out the Scally's SuperValue and note there is a carpark behind the store which we only discovered on the last day.

Absolutely perfect

We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs all over the world and this was by far the best. From fresh milk from the cows and home baked brown bread to miles of fields to walk and ocean views to comfy beds and perfectly stocked kitchen, this place was so wonderful. Teddy the sheep (er cow) dog was an added bonus. Just in general I can’t say anything bad. It’s also really out in the country so you feel surrounded by quiet and peace.

A very special place

Others have mentioned the thoughtful touches like fresh baked bread and milk from their farm, but I want to reiterate how lovely it is to arrive to a home, not a house, where every detail has been lovingly thought of. John and Dierdre have truly created a special place that made us not want to leave. We loved our long walks on the property with only cows, green fields and the ocean in sight. I have stayed in many homes around the world but this is my new favorite. Thank you!

Our favorite place

Absolutely relaxing and remarkable. Our entire family loved this spot the most. Deirdre is a wonderful hostess who pays attention to every detail. Incredible location as well. Clonakilty was also our favorite destination, as far towns with shopping goes, and it was close by! We happily spent most of the time at the place though. We feel lucky that John showed us the process of milking the cows and their adorable dogs led the way on the gorgeous walking paths. Thank you Deirdre and John:)

A Piece of Heaven

This is a beautiful property out in the country surrounded by green hills, the ocean in the distance and many cows grazing in the fields. I find grazing cattle to add to the feing ofp1eace and contentment. The house itself is beautiful with lots of room for five people, (enough beds, two sitting rooms so two TV's, a well equiped kitchen, three bathrooms) plus a lo ely yard with outdoor seating. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Home

We stayed four nights in early April, and our stay was just beautiful. The house is pristine and cozy with lots of room to hang out inside and in the back, which has a patio, fire pit, and a kind of viewing room overlooking the ocean. The kitchen is wonderfully appointed, and there are fun little surprises everywhere. The surroundings are heavenly, with a great group of cows near the house. We spent a day in Cork, a day in Skibbereen, and a day hiking the 7 Heads trail. Deirdre is a wonderful host, and I can't say enough good things about this listing.

Dream Rental

This property was everything we hoped it would be and more! Comfortable, beautiful, amazing location, spectacular views and fully stocked with anything you might need on vacation. Deirdre and John were so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed learning about the milking process from John one evening and wondered around by the sea with Teddy and Robin (the pups). I cannot recommend Ocean's End enough. Book it! I promise you'll be so glad you did!

Wonderful stay at Ocean’s End

We had a great time over Christmas! Deirdre and John are wonderful hosts and their beautiful house offered us more comforts than we anticipated. We took walks to the nearby beach escorted by their dogs, we cooked and reconnected by the wood stoves, and we visited friendly towns nearby. We are grateful for the care and hospitality of our hosts who went over and above to help us properly celebrate the end of a hard year. We hope to go back!

Our family enjoyed a few quiet days away from the hustle of every day life. The cottage is absolutely perfect. Deirdre and John have done an amazing job.. Would love to come back in the summer. Really appreciated John taking time with us to tell us about his experience as a dairy farmer. It renewed our appreciation for the work that goes into our dairy products.

We loved Ocean’s End!

This is an amazing property that I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the West Cork region especially. As a first-time driver in Ireland, although different with narrow and winding roads, I was able to maneuver, albeit slowly, and find my way in and out and to other towns. The grounds with the cows and the ocean nearby were breathtaking, and the cow-milking experience was fun! Not to mention walking with the neighbor dogs accompanying us! Deidre and John are perfect hosts and even provided us with homemade bread, cookies and jam! Wonderful experience overall! I’m so glad we found it and would return and highly recommend!
