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!

Absolute Dream
I can’t recommend this property enough. It was the most peaceful and comfortable stay. Deirdre and John’s attention to detail in the design and accommodation in the cottage was amazing. We were greeted by 2 sweet dogs and a happy line of cows walking into the pasture. The large bay windows flood the home with light. Deirdre left eggs, milk, fresh bread and jam for us to nibble on for breakfast. She had many wonderful local suggestions. I can’t say enough about the scenery. I highly recommend this cottage stay to anyone. We will most certainly be back.

Owners go above and beyond!
The best cottage to stay at with owners that care about you and your happiness! My first night there, the airline lost my luggage and the owner took it upon herself to go get it at the airport once it arrived! The cottage is clean, welcoming, and cozy with the most beautiful setting.

Simply Perfect in Every Way !
The property is simply wonderful on every level, with every conceivable holiday requirement fully catered for. It is in a beautiful location, albeit slightly remote, but with the hosts, John and Deirdre living next door at the farm. We are a suburban couple but our experience at this house is one we will both treasure forever ! The Wow factor on walking in through the front door remains throughout the stay. Our high expectations before arrival were easily exceeded. John and Deirdre really are the most perfect hosts, whom it was a real pleasure to meet. The surrounding area is beautiful and as well as being a beautiful house, it provides a great base for exploring the delights of West Cork. A five star rating doesn’t do it justice ! Thank you Deirdre and John !

Our 3-night stay was absolutely ideal and would stay longer next time. We were two adults and two teenage girls; all of us had an amazing time. The house is immaculate and very well appointed. Deidre has done a tremendous job making sure everything you need is there. A stop at the local CO-OP for some groceries and we were all set. The surrounding views from the house are like something you might see on a postcard. We would have enjoyed just sitting in the house and taking it in, but a walk to the ocean and the cliffs behind the house is a must. We spent multiple hours walking along the cliffs. Wow! Spectacular! We tore ourselves away one time to visit Mizen Head which was certainly worth the drive. The highlight of our stay was spending time with John helping milk the cows. OK, we really weren't any help, but it was such a treat and he is a gem. Our two teenage girls are not the "outdoorsy" types, but they had the time of their lives. No cell phones needed. Thank you, Deirdre and John, for sharing this special place.

Idyllic house.
Absolutely stunning property located on a beautiful headland. The attention to detail within the house made this such a special stay. Every amenity, from fresh produce to large fluffy towels, has been given great thought and makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The hosts could not have been more welcoming and with so much still to explore we will definitely be back in the future. We thoroughly loved our time at Oceans End, such a pity it had to end!

Best Stay Yet!
This stay was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. The place was extremely clean and well stocked. We didn't need for anything that you would use in a week during our stay because it was provided. John was very nice and went out of his way to show us his cow operation, we got to milk the cows, play with the calves, and talk to him and ask questions about how it all works. Additionally, he had materials to help not ruin clothing with milking the cows. The short walk to the cliffs was a very easy walk and their dogs showed us the way! The view over the cliffs was beautiful. The house had heated floors and adequate heating throughout the house that you never had to worry about being cold. We got in late and Deirdre came over right away to show us how to use the heating system and to make sure that she answered any questions that we may have had. There were tons of brochures provided to make looking for things to do a breeze. The house was plenty big enough to fit my husband and I and our three children with plenty of space left over. The drive to get there is beautiful and the house is easy to find. I can't say anything bad about this stay. I would 100% stay again if we come back to Ireland! Thank you so much for everything!!

It felt like a dream…
My husband and I were looking for a getaway during the week of Thanksgiving, but we got much more than we could have imagined. The cottage interior is a good-size space that still feels ultra-cozy. Our evenings were spent dining by candlelight, followed by snuggling next to the fireplace with a cheesy Christmas movie on the television. The kitchen is well-stocked with all a chef, or amateur home-cooks like us, would need to successfully create a hearty spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bedroom linens and mattress were very comfortable allowing for well-rested nights that we were longing for on our escape from the corporate world. The cottage is surrounded by rolling landscapes of emerald green, speckled with the black and white of dairy cows, framed by breathtaking cliffs and the stunning coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The cottage is the perfect distance from nearby towns offering the peace and quiet of a rural property but the comfort of food and drink a short drive away. Our stay was highlighted by the hospitality of our lovely hosts, Deirdre and John. Dierdre baked some delightful bread as a welcome treat and stocked the kitchen with fresh eggs and milk. We spent an evening with John to go behind the scenes of the dairy farm. While us big city folk weren’t much help to the dairy operations, we really enjoyed hearing from John, a fourth-generation dairy farmer. We would absolutely recommend, and we will be back for another visit!
