About this property

Stunning large stone cottage on the Wild Atlantic Way with sea views and WI-FI

This is a simply stunning stone Cottage located right on the Wild Atlantic Way with it's own WI-FI. It is beautiful both inside and out. The interior retains 'a country atmosphere' as it consists of white washed walls and extensive use of wood. The Cottage sleeps up to 10 and is ideal for two families. Two of the bedrooms are en suite and there are three bathrooms in total. The kitchen is very large and is fully equipped with all conveniences. Our location is fabulous with total privacy on our 1 Hectare site plus you have access within 300m to the sea for fishing and 300m to a local beach with lots of shellfish. The views are wonderful to the Fastnet Lighthouse and of Toormore Bay from the house. Schull is only 8 km and Goleen is only 6 kms away. The house is fantastic for children with so much land, wildlife plus we now have a fantastic Swing, Slide and See Saw for the kids. Beautiful safe Ballyrisode beach is only 2 km away, with its abundant supply of Rock pools for children to explore. A simply wonderful holiday is assured!


We have recently made some great changes to Reen Cottage. We have utilised the kitchen area better by adding a two seater couch and a single seater armchair to make the area so much more comfortable. This will be a very popular area at all times of the day as the seats are right beside the double patio doors which open on to the patio and have great views. Wea have also added Fuschia headging and created a garden area whilst adding swings and a slide for kids.

Our hallway downstairs has been revamped with tasteful mirrors, a beautiful wooden bench and rugs and lighting whilst the sitting room which is located upstairs for the views has been hugely upgraded with a flat screen TV, new rugs, lighting, new seats and a fantastic wicker lounger to relax in and enjoy the views of the Atlantic ocean.

Quite simply this is one of the best houses in the West Cork area.

Our visit to Reen Cottage

What can I say other than this is the perfect place to stay. A wonderful lay out with amazing outdoor spaces. The cottage is in terrific shape with all the room you'll need and in the ideal location. 10 minutes from everything you'll need. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Thank you to the owners for having us stay. We'll for sure be back!

Great stay in Toormore

We had a great stay. It’s an excellent house for friends and family, spacious and comfortable in a brilliant location with fantastic views. Very good facilities inside and out and the house works really well for all weather eventualities . We had an unexpected and glorious hot blast of late summer and the house was a lovely place to be - the outside eating area and bbq really came into their own. All communications with Ross were easy - the whole thing was stress free and excellent from start to finish. Thank you - I would definitely book this house again for next year if it wasn’t already booked up!

Lovely house, lots of space, great sea view from upstairs. Great local walks & boat trips available

Great house but needs a little TLC here and there. Great location, in the centre of lots of places. Busy enough road but very quiet at night. Friendly neighbours and property manager lives close by in case of any issues. Schull is 10 mins drive. Mizen head, Skibbereen, Bantry etc 15/20 mins. Lovely local walks and boat trips from Schull. Only negatives were some information in the house instruction book needs updating re heating and immersion tv guide, also the kids games need to be replaced as they are damaged and are missing parts. Overall great place to stay. Would definitely recommend. need to be replaced due to lots of missing parts.

West Cork Week

House was perfect for our two small families combined (7 of us in total). One family in upstairs bedrooms and one in downstairs two. Wonderful views and great to have two separate living areas so we never felt we were on top of one another. Kitchen very well equipped (with everything we needed apart from a grater). Trips included Schull market on Sunday and Bantry market on Friday. Barleycove beach, Crookhaven, Ballydehob and Three Castle Head. The weather seemed to cooperate with our plans, which included fishing in Schull and Goleen. The Wild West pub in Goleen was great for watching Ire v Canada while lunching. All in all a great week was had by all.

Very nice house, we recommend it!

We are a family of six adults and one dog - we rented Reen Cottage for one week in April 2014 which is "off season". We found plenty to keep us occupied in the West Cork area enjoying relaxing in Baltimore, mountain drives of the Healy Pass and Caha Pass (narrow roads) and the lovely village of Glengarriff. Three of our party went whale watching - all this was easily accessible by car. The house itself is worth experiencing with the downstairs located in part upstairs to facilitate the views across the water. The house is equipped with all mod cons including dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and sky TV. We didn't cook in the cottage but enjoyed the restaurants in Schull instead. Schull is a welcoming village with some beautiful walks and boasts an outdoors adult gym. The cottage itself is set back from the road which meant our little dog was away from traffic but the neighbouring cattle had a few conversations with him. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone visiting West Cork.

Reen House , Goleen. Cork

Reen House is situated in a picture perfect setting . It is situated very close to Schull and Goleen villages and beside gorgeous beaches . There are fantastic views from the house , a great bbq area and the area is peaceful and unspoiled . The house should be thoroughly cleaned and a little more communication from the property manager would be very helpful . Overall we had a wonderful holiday and would love to return to the area.

Ons verblijf om en nabij oud en nieuw 2018/2019 in Reen cottage

De woning was op zich prima: genoeg ruimte, open haardje, droger, wasmachine, vaatwasser, twee koelkasten enz. Ook de stoelen waren prima om op te zitten en bestek, borden enz. voldoende. De bedden sliepen goed. De locatie was prima. Wij hebben enorm genoten van de schiereilanden en de oceaan die daar tegenaan beukt. Veel gewandeld met name de wandeling rond de vuurtoren van Sheephead was fantastisch.Ook een bezoekje aan Crookshaven met zijn pub en Baltimore met zijn prachtige vuurtoren zijn aanbevelingswaardig. De ring of Beara is fantastisch. Wij hebben een deel gereden richting steenkring van Uragh, waardoor wij twee passen door de bergen namen, wat een geweldig uitzicht opleverde. Wat wij de eigenaar en/of caretaker - Kathleen heb ik trouwens gesproken in de supermarkt van Schull - willen meegeven is een opmerking over de schoonmaak, voorafgaand aan ons verblijf in Reen cottage. De stofzuiger zat vol en als wij het huisje wilden stofzuigen kon daar echt niets bij. Er was geen bezem om binnen aan te vegen en schoonmaakspullen lagen her en der slordig in de kasten. Verder was te merken dat de laatste bewoners in september gebruik hadden gemaakt van de cottage. Er waren spinnenwebben tegen het plafond en onder de bedden lag stof. De slaapkamer middenboven had een kapotte verwarming en het raam kierde, waardoor het er koud was. In deze kamer zaten koninginnewespen, die door onze aanwezigheid tot leven kwamen (doodeng). Wij dachten dat de cottage aan de oceaan stond - zo leek het in de omschrijving - maar de oceaan is toch een eindje weg. Omdat het weer voor Ierse begrippen helemaal goed was hebben wij ook daar enorm van genoten..... Al met al een paar kanttekeningen rond de schoonmaak van Reen cottage voorafgaand aan de nieuwe bewoners....verder hebben wij het heel goed gehad. Groet Antonet

About the host

Hosted by Ross Barry

Host profile image
This land belonged to my parents since 1961 and they owned a separate property closeby. Following my Father's death in 1994 I purchased the land from my Mum and we built our dream West Cork home on the site which we have enjoyed for so many years now. We even added a boat two years ago to get the maximum fishing and touring and installed our own mooring closeby which can be used by guests. We even catch our own Lobsters and Shrimp!

Why they chose this property

When you see the views from the rear of the cottage and experience the sheer peace and quiet you will understand why we chose here. Add to the fact that you can stroll out of the cottage down to the beach only 300 metres away and collect your dinner when the tide is out! Clams, Cockles, Razor Fish and we have even found Oysters! I have spent nearly 50 years holidaying in this exact area and love it as much now as I did when I was a kid. We even have WI-FI

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Fishing from the beach, fishing from the rocks, peace and quiet, privacy, luxury, stunning views, beautiful ocean, great walks from the Cottage and lovely shops and pubs in nearby Schull. Our own secure WI-FI just added.
