Description from owner

Description

Moynihan's is located in a sheltered position on the rugged Toe Head peninsula, off the 'Wild Atlantic Way', and is a haven of tranquillity with a sandy beach less than a mile away. The large kitchen-dining room has fabulous sea views (as do two of the bedrooms). A 5th bedroom and additional living accommodation is provided in an adjoining annex so the property also suits two families holidaying together (but we do not let this separately). The large garden, terrace and indoor accommodation provide plenty of space for dining whatever the weather, and a wood burning stove keeps the living room warm. There is ample indoor and outdoor play areas for children and there is ample parking.

The property is 4 miles from the picturesque village of Castletownshend where there is a shop and two pubs - one with a renowned seafood restaurant. The larger market town of Skibbereen is approximately 6 miles away. Fishing, sea kayaking and whale watching are close by.

Further details

We include 20 GB wifi per week in price. Should you wish to purchase additional capacity it is charged at 10 euro for 2GB, 25 euro for 7.5GB or 35 euro for 20GB.

Getting around

A car is essential for reaching our beautiful remote location, however, there are local taxi firms and we have left phone numbers for these in the guest information at the property. If you wish to visit the islands off the coast, ferries run all year around and the most up to date timetables will be in the guest information at the property. If you are feeling energetic, there is a bike hire shop on Townshend street in Skibbereen - the roads are quiet and there are many cycle routes. Details of cycle routes are available from the tourist information shop in Skibbereen.

Interaction with guest

We have a local manager just down the road who will meet you and show you how everything works. She will be on hand should you need any assistance with the property during your stay. Our manager is very knowledgable of the the local area and will be able to recommend places to visit, restaurants and local entertainment.

“Amazing”

Reviewed 7 Jul 2018

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home. The house is in a stunning location with simply the most amazing views, however what made this holiday one off the best for is was dealing with the owners Paula and the most Pauline, both ladies are a pleasure to deal with and couldn't do enough for us. The local knowledge of the area and things to do was second to none esp the things you won't find in a guide book. We will be back. We loved it. Thank you.
