5 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms - stunning south facing views "Wild Atlantic Way"

Bay House is a superb waterfront property, located as on the "Wild Atlantic Way", in a truly spectacular and private setting. You can also see more reviews and information on our other sites.

Set in 1.7 Acres and approached by a half-mile private country lane, Bay House and gardens overlook Dunmanus Bay.

The views reach for over twenty miles, out into the Atlantic, over the Sheep's Head and Mizen peninsula and with a backdrop of the Beara peninsula.

We consider our location and stunning views of the sea and mountains to be some of the finest in West Cork.

Stone steps from the garden sea wall lead straight onto a slate/shingle beach. Many claim to be waterfront but we really are the real deal!

The friendly and lively village of Durrus is within walking distance (1.5km), where there are three pubs, a pizzeria, a grocery shop, a post office and a charity shop.

The Mizen peninsula's sandy beaches, including Barley Cove’s beautiful Blue Flag beach, are just a short drive away and the Sheep's Head peninsula with the Goat's Path is famous for having many miles of scenic and rugged walks.

There are numerous marked walks on both peninsulas to suit all abilities.

The historic waterside and market town of Bantry, which boasts a brand new marina, is approximately 8 kilometres away.

Here you will find many more bars, restaurants and supermarkets, incl. Lidl and Supervalu. Super valu also offers an online delivery service; this is available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to Bay House, Durrus.

Within easy reach are: Bantry House, Mizen Head Lighthouse, Glengariff Bamboo Park, Schull Planetarium, Ewe Sculpture Garden, Waterfall Alpaca Farm in Drimoleague, Cape Clear Island, Fastnet Rock & Garnish Island.

Other activities in the area include: fishing, boat trips, kayaking, horse riding, scuba diving, cinema, whale watching, swimming & Spa, walking/hill walking, beaches and golf.

Bantry (Bantry Bay Golf Course) has an 18-hole championship course with some stunning scenery overlooking Bantry Bay. A little further down the road in Glengariff is another course, with 9 holes.

The house is spacious and very well equipped. The layout is perfect for families or groups sharing.

It has five beautifully appointed bedrooms, consisting of three double bedrooms rooms all looking out over the bay (each with a king-size bed), one has an en-suite bathroom with bath, power shower and WC.

There are two twin bedrooms (located at the rear of the house) and two further bathrooms, each with a separate bath, a power shower and WC.

All bed linen is pure cotton and all of the bedding and pillows are of top quality. We provide bath towels, hand towels and face cloths for all guests. Beach towels are also provided for each guest.

For the younger members of the family, there is a travel cot, a high chair, a "Stocke" dining chair and a baby bath.

The living area consists of a generous open plan sitting room/dining room & kitchen.

There is an American style fridge/freezer with ice machine, a DVD player, a 46" LED flat screen TV, an iPOD docking station, leather sofas, dining table, with benches & chairs to seat 10 and a log burner with glass at the sides as well as the front.

There is a separate utility room with a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a dishwasher, a microwave and an additional fridge/freezer.

The sun porch doubles as a children's playroom. Here they will find numerous toys and books for many age groups. There are also plenty of jigsaw puzzles and games to be found in the top of the cloak cupboard - and for the parents and grandparents too!

All of the living and sleeping accommodation is on one level. This is ideal when there are different generations of families. It can also be very useful to those who find it difficult with stairs and different ground levels.
In the wooden shed you will find a charcoal barbecue (with tools) and plastic buckets & spades for the beach. There is also ample room in here to store your walking boots, wetsuits, body boards, dinghy and any other paraphernalia that goes with a wonderful holiday in West Cork.

In front of the house is almost an acre of lawn with direct access to a shingle and slate beach. Don't forget to fetch the buckets & spades from the shed for crab catching!
