Fabulous Caherdaniel Bolthole

Lap up rugged coastlines, unspoiled landscapes and quaint seaside villages from this delightful, family-friendly cottage on the Iveragh Peninsula. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, you’ll soon be swapping your everyday routine for adventures in the great outdoors and lazing on the sand.

Leave your walking boots at the door and make your way through to the large lounge. Admire your charming country-inspired surroundings as you hunker down under a blanket with a cup of tea and the welcoming glow of the open fire. Spacious and well-equipped, the kitchen is a great place to congregate and show off your cheffing skills before serving up on the decking. On chillier nights, the window-side dining table boasts yet more incredible views. Retire back to the lounge for nights in front of a film, or perhaps take advantage of your position within this International Dark Sky Reserve by curling up with a glass of wine and seeking out various constellations. Upstairs, rest and rejuvenate in one of four thoughtfully designed bedrooms, which are ideally served by the family bathroom.

Pack a picnic and your windbreakers and head down to the seaside village of Derrynane (3.5 miles) for hours well spent on the sweeping golden beach. The area also boasts an ancient abbey and a historic house with manicured gardens for those seeking to learn more about the region. Foodies are in good company at the seafront village of Waterville (6.5 miles), which is famously known for its locally caught and cooked seafood. Alternatively, play a round of golf at its world-class course.
