Stunningly appointed coastal cottage with superb views

'Setanta' which we reckon has the best views in Baltimore, has been refurbished in May 2003, with the addition of a wonderful sun room affording amazing views both to seaward and hillside. The perfect place to relax, enjoy the view, read or just chill out. But if you want a bit more activity, its just ten min walk to the village, where there's plenty to engage the visitor: three sailing schools, many sea sports, angling, diving, walking and hiking, swimming pool in local hotel, horse riding nearby, golf. Sherkin Island is 15 mins. by ferry, Cape Clear a little further. And when it comes to eating and drinking, there are many excellent bars and restaurants. Without a doubt, we reckon we have a gem in 'Setanta'. Come and enjoy!

Accommodation and Facilities for the cottage in County Cork, Ireland

BALTIMORE

Started life as a fishing village, and fishing still plays a major role in the local economy: as is evidenced on the menus of the numerous delicious fish restaurants. But its not all fish - the meat is excellent too and vegetarians have plenty to choose from. Village has many bars and eateries to suit every pocket and age group from prawns to pizza. There are many local festivals covering such diverse gatherings as the O'Driscoll Clan get together, the Mussel Festival as well as Vintage Cars and Wooden Boats. In early August we have the Regatta.

Baltimore is perfect for trips to the islands, Sherkin and Cape Clear (which is a Gaeltacht or Irish speaking area); Kerry is about 90 mins. drive away. Make sure to include a trip to the lovely town of Kenmare, visit its local bookshops and eat in one of its excellent restaurants, pubs or hotels. Cork is also not far away if you want to do some serious shopping; however there are many local craft shops in West Cork, selling knitwear, pottery or luxury food items.

But the best thing about Baltimore is the friendliness of the people, who are eclectic, perhaps some say even eccentric. So come and enjoy: you will certainly not be bored. You'll have the holiday of a lifetime!
