Rock Cottage is a charming and spacious traditional Irish self-catering cottage set within the grounds of a former Georgian hunting lodge dating back to 1826, on a private 17-acre country estate on the Mizen Peninsula in West Cork.

Surrounded by gardens, paddocks and heather-covered hills, the cottage enjoys a peaceful rural setting with walking trails and elevated viewpoints overlooking Dunmanus Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The location is ideal for guests wishing to explore the Wild Atlantic Way, with Schull, Durrus and Goleen all within easy driving distance, along with some of West Cork’s most beautiful beaches.

The cottage has been thoughtfully restored to retain its historic character while offering modern comfort throughout. Accommodation includes a well-equipped modern kitchen, a separate living and dining room with a traditional open fireplace for cosy evenings, and a large shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs is a bright, open-plan bedroom with a king-size bed and a single bed, making the cottage suitable for 2–3 guests.

Rock Cottage is dog friendly and particularly popular with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Guests are welcome to explore the estate, enjoy the open space, and relax in the various seating areas dotted throughout the grounds. The resident animals, including donkeys, ponies, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs and cats; add to the relaxed country atmosphere and are a favourite with animal lovers.

The vibrant village of Schull, just 10 minutes away, offers boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, sailing, and a popular Sunday market. The wider area is renowned for excellent food, music and film festivals, island ferries, historic sites and outdoor activities including walking, swimming, kayaking, surfing, sailing, golf and horse riding.

Rock Cottage can be booked on its own or in combination with The Stables and The Garden Chalet, making it ideal for couples, small families or groups who would like to holiday together while enjoying their own private space.
