Kilcrohane, Sheep's Head Peninsula, West Cork, Ireland |
INTRODUCTION |
This house above Dooneen Pier on 7 acres of rough pasture on the Sheep's Head peninsula is 30km(16miles) west of Bantry and a 5-minute drive west from the village of Kilcrohane. The south and west facing windows take in a 180o panorama extending way beyond upstream towards the harbour at Ahakista and sweeping right down Dunmanus bay out west to where the mouth of the bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is a distinctively beautiful location with hills up behind to the north, and across the bay to the south. This is a quiet place of relaxation in one of Ireland's renowned scenic areas.
This compact house is designed to fit into
its environment. The roof blends into the slope of the hillside. mainly south and west-facing windows absorb the sun and light all year round; the changing light is a source of continual interest. All of Dooneen's rooms give spectacular views be it of the bay, the headland, the hills north and south, and of the ever-changing weather.
Dooneen
is an ideal retreat if you like to enjoy superb scenery,
to walk, to swim, to fish, and then to sit back and simply
relax, and read. It is also a good base from which to explore
and enjoy the West Cork region of Ireland.
