Durrus Villa | 5 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms - stunning south facing views "Wild Atlantic Way"

5 Bedroom Villa in Durrus, Cork

Bay House is a superb waterfront property, located as on the "Wild Atlantic Way", in a truly spectacular and private setting. You can also see more reviews and information on our other sites.
Set in 1.7 Acres and approached by a half-mile private country lane, Bay House and gardens overlook Dunmanus Bay.
The views reach for over twenty miles, out into the Atlantic, over the Sheep's Head and Mizen peninsula and with a backdrop of the Beara peninsula.
We consider our location and stunning views of the sea and mountains to be some of the finest in West Cork.
Stone steps from the garden sea wall lead straight onto a slate/shingle beach. Many claim to be waterfront but we really are the real deal!
The friendly and lively village of Durrus is within walking distance (1.5km), where there are three pubs, a pizzeria, a grocery shop, a post office and a charity shop.
The Mizen peninsula's sandy beaches, including Barley Cove’s beautiful Blue Flag beach, are just a short drive away and the Sheep's Head peninsula with the Goat's Path is famous for having many miles of scenic and rugged walks.
There are numerous marked walks on both peninsulas to suit all abilities.
The historic waterside and market town of Bantry, which boasts a brand new marina, is approximately 8 kilometres away.
Here you will find many more bars, restaurants and supermarkets, incl. Lidl and Supervalu. Super valu also offers an online delivery service; this is available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to Bay House, Durrus.
Within easy reach are: Bantry House, Mizen Head Lighthouse, Glengariff Bamboo Park, Schull Planetarium, Ewe Sculpture Garden, Waterfall Alpaca Farm in Drimoleague, Cape Clear Island, Fastnet Rock & Garnish Island.
Other activities in the area include: fishing, boat trips, kayaking, horse riding, scuba diving, cinema, whale watching, swimming & Spa, walking/hill walking, beaches and golf.
Bantry (Bantry Bay Golf Course) has an 18-hole championship course with some stunning scenery overlooking Bantry Bay. A little further down the road in Glengariff is another course, with 9 holes.
The house is spacious and very well equipped. The layout is perfect for families or groups sharing.
It has five beautifully appointed bedrooms, consisting of three double bedrooms rooms all looking out over the bay (each with a king-size bed), one has an en-suite bathroom with bath, power shower and WC.
There are two twin bedrooms (located at the rear of the house) and two further bathrooms, each with a separate bath, a power shower and WC.
All bed linen is pure cotton and all of the bedding and pillows are of top quality. We provide bath towels, hand towels and face cloths for all guests. Beach towels are also provided for each guest.
For the younger members of the family, there is a travel cot, a high chair, a "Stocke" dining chair and a baby bath.
The living area consists of a generous open plan sitting room/dining room & kitchen.
There is an American style fridge/freezer with ice machine, a DVD player, a 46" LED flat screen TV, an iPOD docking station, leather sofas, dining table, with benches & chairs to seat 10 and a log burner with glass at the sides as well as the front.
There is a separate utility room with a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a dishwasher, a microwave and an additional fridge/freezer.
The sun porch doubles as a children's playroom. Here they will find numerous toys and books for many age groups. There are also plenty of jigsaw puzzles and games to be found in the top of the cloak cupboard - and for the parents and grandparents too!
All of the living and sleeping accommodation is on one level. This is ideal when there are different generations of families. It can also be very useful to those who find it difficult with stairs and different ground levels.
In the wooden shed you will find a charcoal barbecue (with tools) and plastic buckets & spades for the beach. There is also ample room in here to store your walking boots, wetsuits, body boards, dinghy and any other paraphernalia that goes with a wonderful holiday in West Cork.
In front of the house is almost an acre of lawn with direct access to a shingle and slate beach. Don't forget to fetch the buckets & spades from the shed for crab catching!
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required upon reservation. The balance is due six weeks before arrival, together with the refundable damage deposit of £250. We strongly recommend taking out travel insurance when making your booking. Wifi is free of charge and covers all areas of the house. Electricity & heating oil are also included but the charging of electric cars is not - please advise before arrival if you are bringing an electric car so that the meter can be read.

The owners, Chris and Debbie with their daughter Faith live in the adjoining property and can be contacted at any time before or during your stay.

Summary: This lovely home is incredibly well appointed and everything about our stay was first rate. The view is captivating and our host could not have been more gracious and attentive. A wonderful and carefree week with my family.

Summary: The pictures don’t lie - the front yard of the Bay House ends at the beach. The water views from the living room and three bedrooms are amazing. Debbie was great to work with - very friendly and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Excellent holiday property. Lots of beds and bath and space inside and outside. Very well equipped kitchen, also everything you need in the house, books, toys, chairs, BBQ etc. Just as well, as you are miles from anywhere and will certainly need to cook and to entertain yourselves. The photos don't even do it justice, the views are even more beautiful and ever changing. Even our materialistic teenagers were mesmerised. Location is lovely if you like your peace and quiet and nature. Walking distance to Durrus which has one pub that does food and a basic shop. But Bantry is 15 mins and has all shops, supermarkets, nice little cinema and restaurants and takeaways. Easy drive to much of West Cork on picturesque little roads, very charming. We had a great holiday (8 of us, 2 families) and highly recommend. We didn't have perfect weather but pretty good and it didn't spoil our fun, a nice family film evening and a meal of spaghetti is a bonding experience for cousins who don't see each other very often.

Summary: Three generations had an absolute perfect stay at Bay House! The view of the bay that appears as you drove down the lane to the property is absolutely spectacular… then you get to look at it the entire time of your stay! Even a bit of rain couldn’t ruin the view. The home was very clean and comfortable and Debbie and Chris are the most gracious hosts!

Summary: Wow! Just a spectacular location in the sheltered bay near Durrus. We thoroughly enjoyed our all too short stay. Home comfortably slept 10 - a mix of adults and older kids. House had everything we needed - including charcoal BBQ. Kids loved playing on the lawn and exploring the bay when the tide was out. The views were just stunningly. We enjoyed eating sitting outside and having a coffee in the morning sitting on the sea wall listening to the peaceful sounds of nature on the bay. The small village of Durrus was good for an evening out, as was fishing for trout on Lake Boffina and a visit to the gardens of Bantry House. If you enjoy beaches, then Ballyrisode is a must along with hiking to Sheeps Head. The whole area of West Cork is just beautiful in the summer. Thanks to Debbie for great communication before and during our stay.

Summary: We rented the bay house for a family reunion and it surpassed all our expectations. From the outset, Debbie was fantastic to deal with. We have small children who loved playing on the big lawn and seeing the sheep being fed up and close next door! The home is very well equipped to cater for large families. Very comfortable beds were a great bonus. We’d love to rerun some day!

Summary: Myself, my husband and 2 children (aged 12 & 15) along with two friends and their 3 children (3, 13 &15) had a weeks stay in Debbie & Chris' home and had the best time! The location is simply stunning - the bay looks different at all times of the day along with much wildlife to watch, Otters, Herons and other birds - you could very easily spend your time just at the house and not go anywhere!! We had a brilliant game of rounders/softball on the lawn with the Bay as a backdrop - which was amazing!! So much space. The house itself was very clean and had everything we needed - we had a BBQ and cooked dinner for ourselves a couple of nights. The living space had plenty of room for us all and there were enough bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from! The 3 main bedrooms had wonderful views over the bay - we felt very lucky to wake up to that view every morning! Debbie's welcome pack was the best we've been given on any of our vacations and communication with Debbie was very good. Durras is just a short walk away with friendly locals, a grocers and a good number of pubs for such a small place!! Our friends have never been to Ireland before so this was a great location to visit Kenmare, Killarney, Gap of Dunloe, (on the ring of Kerry - 2hrs away) and then more local attractions like Mizen Head, Gollen & Barley Cove Beach, Glengarriff (Seal spotting and Island trips), Skibbereen, Baltimore and Crookhaven - with great sandwiches and fish pie!!! We had a fantastic meal at 'Church Restaurant' in the centre of Skibbereen and plenty of lunches in various pubs around the area - none of which disappointed! Overall a great week in a beautiful location with fabulous hosts and we look forward to returning very soon!! Lou, Kev, Harry & Ella

Summary: We had a lovely week-long break in this fantastic house. Everything was as it should be, and the location on the waterfront is just amazing. A 20-minute walk takes you into Durrus, with a grocery shop, cafe and a few pubs serving food (outdoors only when we visited). All the beautiful sights of West Cork are within an easy drive. Highly recommend!

Summary: We spent an idyllic week at Bay House. Grandparents and 2 families and the dog and we had plenty of space. Debbie and her family were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you. This is a wonderful part of the world, so much to see and do, and Bay House is the perfect place from which to explore it all. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending it and really hope we get the opportunity to do it all again sometime!
