Sheep's Head Delight
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
This home was everything we hoped for and more. My wife and I, our 16 year old son, and three others (niece/ 2 nephews age 17 to 24) stayed for a week, and couldn't have been more comfortable. Plenty of places to sit and read, play cards and chat. Impeccably clean and well maintained, with a warm greeting from the owner on arrival. The house is on the lovely Sheep's Head Peninsula, with beautiful views of the bay, and the sounds of sea and the country (sheep on the other side of the hedge!) An easy walk into town for newspaper and bread in the morning, and a pleasant stroll home from one of the delightful pubs in the evening. We'll definitely be back--soon, I hope. West Cork is an undiscovered gem, with all of the beauty of the Ring of Kerry, Dingle, etc., but none of the crowds and tourist buses. The village of Durrus is thoroughly pleasant and real, nothing touristy about it. The nearby town of Bantry has good restaurants and pubs, and always something going on (the West Cork Literary Festival the week we were there.) Just a wonderful experience!
