The Experience

This is a grand spot, right next to the beach and with lovely walks over to Goat Island at low tide spotting gulls and oyster catchers. Your cottage-in-a-row is open plan and absolutely charming with local art, posters and prints on the walls, plenty of comfy seating, a cosy wood-burner and lots of good books. On sunny days you can sit in the front garden enjoying the views and planning your next move.

The kitchen has ample prepping space, bonny china, colourful plates on the walls and more fabulous views. An honesty pantry has all the basics – you just replace what you might use. Two simple bedrooms have painted wooden panelling, hooks for clothes and gorgeous linen. They share a gleaming shower room with fluffy towels.

Sandycove is ideal for wild swimming with a little walkway down to the beach. Or hire a kayak and spend a day exploring secret beaches and caves, with fish and chips and stargazing afterwards.

Reviews

This is a grand spot for taking huge gulps of wonderful Atlantic air, walking, sailing, swimming, cycling, eating good food and learning about the history of Kinsale. The cottage is a sweet retreat for a couple or four friends.

We had such a wonderful stay at Green Cottage. The owner is so friendly and responded to any queries and the cottage is beautiful with everything that you could need. Sandycove and the surrounding area is very pretty. We would highly recommend the cottage if you are thinking of visiting the area.

Jennie, ULVERSTON

We had a fab family stay at Green Cottage. It's beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, especially comfy deck chairs for admiring the view and a great hot shower for warming-up after a swim. The sea and a diverse collection of well-populated rock pools are just opposite the cottage. Fionnuala was a friendly & helpful host. Highly recommend a trip down the coast to Rory at West Cork Ocean Tours too, a very knowledgable guide. We enjoyed a great trip where we were lucky enough to see porpoise and a pod of dolphins playing about the boat.

Idyllic situation, just a short drive or bike from the lovely town of Kinsale. Ideal for sea swimming. Cottage is beautifully and freshly kitted out, including a couple of super comfy deckchairs for sitting looking out to sea.We would be happy living here. Feel we have luckily found a wonderful spot we hope to return to again and again. Hosts Fionnuala and Nick friendly, responsive and accommodating. Many thanks!

Location

The neighbourhood

Head along the cliffs for bracing views of the Atlantic. It's 2km to a pub and 4km to Kinsale – a bustling sailing town with a Wednesday market, pubs, coffee shops, restaurants and good food shops. There are many festivals in summer and some gorgeous beaches to discover, with pop-up food vans in summer. Ballinspittle is a very colourful place to visit or you could head to the Dock beach.

Local points of interest from Fionnuala Maynard

  • The cottage is one of 4 cottages in a row which were once all one lodging house for the workers who came off the grain boats that docked off Sandycove island.
  • You will always find someone to be your swim buddy should you fancy a swim around the island. People come from all over to train at Sandycove to swim The Channel. If long distance swimming isn’t your thing, take a sauna and dip instead. (Booking essential)
  • A walk up the headland and on over to Courtaparteen, a church ruin and famine village is not to be missed. Look out over Goat Island, how many new kids can you see frolicking there?
  • Garretstown beach is the place for surfers and sauna. Check out @wildercork followed by a smoothie bowl and coffee at Bean and Berry. Take a spin on up to the Old Head to take in some amazing views.
  • You're in Murphys county now (no Guinness here, nah, only joking!) - whilst watching the sunset over Castle-park marina down a pint o the black stuff before stopping off on the way home at the bridge to buy the best fish and chips in town.
  • The marine nature reserve, loch Hyne is a must and for the walking tribe Gougane Barra is waiting for you. The historical walking tour of Kinsale is full of fascination and fun.
