This beautiful detached cottage is nestled on the hillside, surrounded by a large, private garden with wonderful sea views. The garden features a stream, pond and small outdoor pool, stone corral with barbeque and patio area equipped with garden furniture. Inside there are three bedrooms (a double, twin and a single), downstairs loo, family bathroom, en suite shower room, open-plan kitchen/living room, study with sofa bed and sun room.

Laharandota has been thoughtfully restored from an existing farm complex, comprising a detached cottage, stone outbuilding with utilities, an old stone loft/barn (recently renovated to provide a further self-contained unit) and a green house, all enjoying spectacular views over Dunmanus Bay and the West Cork countryside.

Many original features have been retained to create a unique and peaceful atmosphere which compliments the surrounding land and sea.

"It is a fabulous place to stay - we found ourselves spending lots of time just pottering around the cottage because it was so lovely. We will definitely come again and will recommend it to our friends."

Gerry & Liz, Gloucestershire (April 2008)

"Thank you so much for the weekend. I must say your cottage is spectacular - you have a real eye for interiors and the quality of the renovation and furnishings is stunning.  We had 3 days of great weather... the kids were even swimming in the sea. They didn't want to leave and now want to live there!"

Adam & Jane, Hertfordshire (May 2008)

"Thank you for a wonderful 3 days in your beautiful cottage. It was everything we had dreamed of and more.  We absolutely fell in love with The Artists' Cottage and the surrounding area."Jayne & Gordon, Rockingham, Australia (June 2008)

"We had a fabulous time. The setting was wonderful and the cottage was just gorgeous.  Daniel loved his cute little bedroom. He was even brave enough to swim in the pool!"

Pamela & Roger, Glasgow (July 2008)

"Thank you for providing such a welcoming, comfortable taste of rustic charm for we city-dwellers. We all loved everything about the cottage. Of course the swimming pool is the icing on the cake - luckily the weather was glorious so we chilled out and lazed by the pool or braved its invigorating freshness!"

John & Susan, Edinburgh (July 2008)

"Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the cottage. It is in a beautiful and unspoilt location and the views across the bay are something to remember. The quality of the finish and furnishing in The Artists' Cottage are incredible, really beautiful. We had some really lovely times there and we will remember it with great affection."

Susan & Phil, Hampshire (August 2008)

"A big thank you for the use of The Artists' Cottage. It certainly is a very lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Thank you for the warm welcome and tray of goodies etc. We enjoyed and appreciated everything about the place. Truly amazing.  Weather was pretty good, too!"

Phil & Lydia, Bristol (August 2008)

"What a lovely cottage!  It was like a home from home. So beautifully decorated with such attention to detail.  One of our particular favourites was sitting beside the pool admiring the views across the bay."
