About this property

Breathtaking cliff top farmhouse with deserted beach

An unashamedly romantic secluded period farmhouse, “Park” has sea views from every room (from every bed if you want to be exact) and is set in a magical unspoiled coastal vista with an unrepeatable “get away from it all” atmosphere.”
A private holiday home and bolt-hole for the same family for more than fifty years, there is a calmness and a healing property that makes it perfect for honeymooners (not necessarily their first) and also idyllic for young children who might find they can explore the abundant natural beauty of the farmland and coastline with a nowadays unusual freedom.
The informal seaside style gardens feature ancient stone walls and extensive grassed areas and suggest the urgent need for a little more relaxation before indulging in anything as vigorous as a walk on the beach let alone a swim. There is a sheltered cove on the property and also rock pools and an amazing rock archway and seating with sea views.

Amazing and relaxing retreat
We chose Fleur’s and Colin’s holiday home earlier this year, as my sister had wished for a visit to ireland as a gift for her 50th birthday. The pictures and reviews made the property our favorite and so we booked our stay in mid September. And what can we say. This place is really amazing and charmed us the moment we arrived, even it wasn’t the best weather on our first day. But soon the rain stopped. And with this our discovery of this amazing property really started. No disturbing noises, it’s like a calm, own world. The historic house with its modern equipment, beautiful garden, the amazing view over the sea, the trees around the house and property just help to relax and make it a perfect holiday retreat. I can only advise any visitor to take a walk on the premise at sunset or sundown time. Also great is the beach below the property. A special Thank You to Fleur: Your mail with the perfect instructions on how to get to the place, your welcome call on the first day and the call the day before we left again were great and show that you care for your guests. I hope to get a chance to visit this place again.

Stunning Private Getaway
History and charm abound in this farmhouse from the early 1600s. While containing the necessities of modern living, the joys of the property are the historic details. The house contained a library of Irish authors and travels which were handy to have. Our nephew really appreciated the available toys and kids books. The grounds were spectacular! Beautiful gardens were all around the house. The barn ruins were a delightful historic element. However, it was the view of the Irish Sea and beach access that really solidified this as an exciting location. The walk down to the beach was a little difficult for the older family members but well worth it. Be sure to follow the suggested landmarks to get to the property. The last left turn (unfinished gate) might be better described as a sharp left before the concrete block posts. Our seven-person extended family had a wonderful time at this property as a home base for our Ireland adventure.

Idyllic Old World Romance with Modern Comforts
From the moment you arrive, you feel a sense of calm and yet enthusiasm for all Park has to offer. The cottage was all we had hoped it would be, and more! The beach is spectacular and private. We were surprised with how often we could enjoy the water. The nature and wildlife did disappoint. Exploring the surrounding area was a joy. The very thoughtful garden design did not feature in the description and was a pleasant surprise. Our 2 weeks at Park will go down as a travel highlight.

Traumhaftes Wohnen wie im Museum
Die Lage ist traumhaft! Einen Strandabschnitt hat man quasi im Garten für sich alleine. Das Haus hat einen ganz besonderen Charme. Man wohnt wie im Freilichtmuseum mit den wichtigen Annehmlichkeiten wie Heizung, modernen Küchengeräten und fließend warmem Wasser. Colin und Fleur vielen Dank, dass sie dieses Haus vermieten und so eine Erfahrung möglich machen. Wer Erholung und Natur sucht, der sollte sich einen Aufenthalt hier gönnen. Wir haben es sehr genossen.
