Enjoying rural views in Durrus, County Cork is 1 The Courtyard, a fabulous, three-bedroom home.
Within walking distance to a hub of local amenities, whilst featuring a delightful, mature garden, possible to hear the neighbouring river from, 1 The Courtyard offers a well-equipped base for six guests, also inviting a well-behaved, four-legged friend.
Be welcomed by off-road parking, before heading into your new abode, firstly reaching the handy utility room.
Store your muddy boots and coats before heading into the spacious kitchen, where you'll find all the appliances for a self-catered stay.
Prepare delicious meals in this space, to be enjoyed in the dining room, or head outdoors and through the garden, where you can enjoy an alfresco affair, enveloped by pretty blooms of Wisteria and mature shrubs.
Cosy up in the sitting room by lighting the solid-fuel stove, or watch the sun go down from the sunroom, before heading upstairs to catch some rest from one of the well-appointed bedrooms; select between two double bedrooms with en-suite showers, and a triple bunk room.
All are also serviced by a bathroom with an indulgent Jacuzzi bath, where you can soak after a day of exploring.
Once you're ready to tour the area, head into the village to stock up on the essentials, dine out and enjoy a tipple, with three inviting pubs to select from.
Beachgoers will enjoy the stunning landscapes of Shanvallybeg Beach and Ballyrisode Beach, both reachable by car, whilst history buffs will relish in the chance to explore Dunmanus Castle.
Upon the Wild Atlantic Way, take in the coastal views from Colla Pier, with the Colla Trail Head to follow for a clifftop vantage point.
Travelling north up to Glengariff, practise your swing at Glengarriff Golf Club (Club Gailf Gleann Garbh), or wildlife spot from Glengarriff Blue Pool (Linn Snámha Ghleann Garbh), before returning home for supper.
All of this awaits, and more, at 1 The Courtyard.
