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.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The cottage was in immaculate condition – spotless, beautifully presented, and clearly cared for to the highest standard.It was incredibly comfortable, with every little detail thoughtfully considered. The amenities truly went above and beyond; everything we could possibly need was provided, and more. It felt like a home away from home, with those extra special touches that made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable.The location was fantastic – peaceful and picturesque, yet perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area.A special thank you to the wonderful hosts, Deirdre and John, who were so friendly and helpful both before and throughout our stay. The added bonus of getting to see the cows being milked and cuddling the calves was such a unique and memorable experience.We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend this cottage.

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!

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.

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. Deidre and John are so friendly and helped make our holiday one to remember. 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.

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.

Slice of West Cork heaven

We had the best time at Ocean’s End. The “cottage” (so much more!) is roomy, well equipped, tastefully decorated and indeed has a view straight out of a picture-book. Deirdre & John are gracious hosts and the location provides easy access to West Cork & beyond. HIGHLY recommend for anyone considering this property!
