Mason's (II06930), Kilcrohane, Co. Cork

Set in a tranquil and secluded location on the Sheep's Head Peninsula, this striking property sits amongst some of Ireland's most spectacular scenery. Tucked on a hillside just 2 miles from the vibrant village of Kilcrohane, this three-bedroom villa benefits from magical views across rolling countryside and over Dunmanus Bay. While away idyllic days walking or cycling the Sheep's Head Way, birdwatching, and exploring small villages and historic sites. Then return here to rest and recharge with a cuppa on the terrace while drinking in those views. Mostly laid out over a single storey, this detached property features a dramatic split-level lounge and dining room with panoramic windows framing the view. The interior radiates warmth and elegance with a rustic sophistication and plenty of natural light thanks to the large windows. The living area invites cosy evenings with an open fire, shelves of books and lots of homely touches, while the terrace features outdoor sofas for lazy afternoons and evenings stargazing. The country-style kitchen also benefits from superb views to offer inspiration while whipping up delicious meals. Along the hallway, there are three welcoming bedrooms, an en-suite room offering flexible accommodation with twin zip-and-link beds, plus a double and a single. A folding bed offers an additional single. The property and balcony are wrapped in a mature sloping garden. The idyllic Sheep's Head Peninsula is a delight for walkers with a long-distance walking route traversing the entire peninsula (the Sheep's Head Way), and the challenging Peakeen Ridge Loop which offers spectacular views.
