About this property

Luxury Cottage Style Stone House in Beautiful Location on Mizen Head Peninsula

The House at Libeen is situated 6 miles from Schull on the Mizen Peninsula in an elevated position with wonderful views from all windows over Dunmanus Bay, the Sheeps Head Peninsula, and Mount Gabriel.
It is a cottage style, stone built house in an acre garden which is totally enclosed by old stone walls where wild fuchsia grows in profusion.
The house is light, spacious, and furnished to a very high standard. It is well equipped, and can sleep 6 plus a baby very comfortably. The location is well placed to access Schull, Ballydehob (5 miles), and Baltimore (12 miles) on the Roaring Water Bay side of the peninsula as well as Bantry (7 miles), Glengariff (12 miles) and beyond on the Dunmanus Bay side, all of which have many excellent pubs and gourmet restaurants. The countryside around is beautiful and rugged and is good for hill walking and cycling. There are excellent golf courses in Bantry, Glengariff and Skibbereen plus lovely sandy beaches around Crookhaven and Barley Cove.....and the good news is: We do NOT charge extra for cleaning or utilities, plus wireless broadband is provided free.
Hill Walkers Paradise: Our house is situated in immediate proximity to The South Durrus and Mount Corrin Trail. There are fabulous views along this trail of Dunmanus Bay, Roaring Water Bay and the Mizen Peninsula - a must for those who like walking.

Holiday house for family
This was a wonderful holiday house for us to use as a home base for exploring west cork. Well equipped for children and conveniently located to grocery stores and play grounds as well the sights of Ireland! We’re already talking about coming back!

A Fabulous Home in an Amazing Place
As we crested a hill along the small road to this incredible home, our jaws dropped at the sweeping view before us: brilliant green fields dropping away toward Dunmanus Bay, a long finger of glittering blue hemmed in by the Mizen Head and Sheep's Head peninsulas. Then we came to the home itself — and found ourselves even more astonished. Perched on the hill, it affords that same breathtaking view. Once inside, we found that we could take it all in from the home's beautiful and cozy sunroom. The rest of the home was equally appealing, with a lovely living room and dining area, comfortable and spacious bedrooms with access to modern bathrooms, a perfectly serviceable and equipped kitchen, and all of it furnished and decorated beautifully. We were a group of six, and the home accommodated all of us very well. Located on its own in a quiet rural setting, it is nonetheless close to the town of Schull, as well as all the places we wanted to visit, such as Mizen Head, Sheep's Head Lighthouse, the ferry to Cape Clear Island and Fastnet Rock, and many others. The location was also ideal for walking (and running) on quiet lanes to visit nearby standing rocks, stone circles and the top of Mount Corrin. We had such a wonderful time staying here that we were all terribly sad when we had to leave. We cannot wait to go back!

Calme absolu, jardin fantastique, maison parfaitement équipée: l’endroit est idéal. L’emplacement est est aussi remarquable, loin des foules de touristes du Kerry, mais tout aussi impressionnant. En plus, la météo était de notre côté avec une semaine de soleil!

Pretty much perfect
The house is perfecty appointed, spotlessly clean, and house management details, restaurant choices, and nearby things to see and do, all fully explained. The site itself is unbelievable: perfect views in all directions; house is located off a one lane path, so it is isolated and quiet, the locale everything you'd want from Irish countryside. Would have preferred an earlier checkin. 4 pm is pretty late. All in all, could nor recommend more highly. Jim, Jan & Dans.
