Location: Bantry Bay in County Cork

Nearest Airport : Cork at 75 Kilometres
Nearest Ferry : Cork at 75 Kilometres
Nearest Train : Cork at 75 Kilometres
Nearest Beach : beach at 100 Metres
Car: necessary

The house is located at the sunny South West Coast of Ireland, the most demanded area of Ireland. Cork airport is 50 miles away; the next little town (Schull) is 4 miles away. It is surrounded by unspoiled nature on several acres of own coastal land, right at the Atlantic Ocean. All you see from the windows is the sky and the blue of the water and the Fastnet Lighthouse. Because of the Gulf stream, the climate is mild (palm trees in front of the house) and most of the year is perfect for being outside. Because this area is highly sought after by tourists (a sailor’s paradise) the coastal towns are bursting with charming pubs, first class restaurants, little shops and activities. In short: If you want to withdraw and nourish your soul, be surrounded by cosy fireplaces, art, paintings, books, music and movies, handmade furniture, Persian carpets, gardens with palm trees, smell and feel nothing but the Ocean without seeing other houses around you, this is the perfect place.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Bantry Bay, Ireland

Private and authentic Atmosphere: This house has a very special personal and charming touch and atmosphere. The owner is using it himself on a regular basis and it is very different from a typical holiday rental cottage. Everything is real and authentic. You will find handmade furniture, Persian Carpets, very expensive HiFi system, huge library with books in several languages, art, several hundred CDs and DVDs. The owner is traveling quite a bit and the house is full with little things from all over the word. There is a little video a guest made, you can watch it at youtube if you search for 'Toormore'

Remote and quiet: The house is very remote. In front of the house is a garden with palm trees, fuchsia, escalinoa. The Gulfstream creates a very mild climate and we never have snow. This allows a very sumptuous vegatation. Every room has ocean view and you can see the famous 'Fastnet' lighthouse. A sheltered intimate sand beach is in front of the house. From the guestroom and the meditation room upstairs you can see the 'Standing Stones'. At night, you only hear the waves of the ocean. And sometimes a fox. In fact, the fox as well as Likker and Honey, our cats, might even pay you a visit.

How it all began: Over 15 years ago the owner, an international working artist came to work on an art project in the Southwest of Ireland. Finding peace and serenity and a refined lifestyle which can only be found in a few places on earth, he built his dream house in a very special location. The house is on an elevated piece of land and overlooks the Atlantic, a stone tomb und the bay. Quite an unique combination of endless blue, space and a feeling of longing to be far away --created by the ocean-- yet at the same time the feeling of being at home, protected and sheltered --created by the bay and the cliffs-- had a very strong impact on him and he fell in love immediately. In Toormore he found a place where one can still discover secret places, be enchanted by the grace of thousand year old forests and explore ancient castles and stone circles. Here where people still take the time to chat, it is possible to withdraw from the hectic modern life and to relax, be creative or even find oneself.

Golf:

There are several opportunities for playing golf. Bantry and Skibbereen are closest to the house. Kinsale Golf Club is an 1.5 hour drive away.

Peaceful Treasure

Review Submitted: October 1, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Achim,
The house was wonderful! We especially enjoyed your music collection and marveled at how fitting the music was to the setting. Listening to music and watching the changing sea was hypnotic. We enjoyed relaxing and visiting various sites in the area. Your house is a treasure. Denise (the caretaker) and her husband are marvelously informative and engaging. What a great way to spend our first trip to Ireland. So glad we skipped the tour buses!

Perfect Quietude

Review Submitted: October 1, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We spent three weeks at the Toormore house in August and had a wonderful, peaceful time. It is the perfect location to relax, read, cook and enjoy the beautiful Irish coast, weather and lush green surroundings. We even enjoyed a few welcomed summer showers. The house had everything we needed including a vast collection of books, CDs and DVDs. As professors who wanted an escape from our desert life and teaching, we couldn't have asked for anything better.

Schull, a small Irish town down the road had all the necessary amenities and a perfect bookshop for replacing the many books you will get through at the house. There wasn't a lot to do (the Sunday market in Schull was a highlight) without driving a moderate distance but that is exactly what we wanted and took advantage of. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants a quiet, restful vacation in the picturesque surroundings of Ireland.

Amazing House! Perfect Honeymoon :)

Review Submitted: June 24, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We spent our honeymoon at Toormore and everything at the house was amazing! We both enjoyed the home, the area and the local people so much. We just don't know how the owner ever can leave the house. We hope to come visit again soon. Alyssa and Shaun

Totally impressive in its every detail!

Review Submitted: June 3, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Another memorable stay in Ireland! The weather was a bit squirrely this time around, but what the heck—no guarantees there!

The house was great, to say the least. Not only was it totally impressive in its every detail, but it was also beautifully situated with its wonderful views and access to various other destinations along the west coast. We put quite a number of miles on the car and (this time) managed not to hit anything: took lots of pictures and took some great hikes.

For whatever reason, I googled the owner when I returned home and was totally amazed at his accomplishments. Who knew? The house itself reflected someone very well heeled and well traveled, but that now appears to be an understatement. Thank you again for letting us share the experience of Toormore House. We hope to return again. Randall
