About this property
Baltimore 2 miles.
A modern, spacious detached property, in a stunning rural location with wonderful views of the Irish countryside, only two miles from the harbour town of Baltimore, and a 15 minute drive from Skibbereen. Ardagh North offers superb, well-equipped accommodation featuring four lovely bedrooms, a warming open fire and woodburner, and French windows leading to a beautiful garden, framedby rolling fields. Baltimore is within easy reach, and boasts a variety of attractions. Visitors can enjoy whale watching, by chartering one of the many angling boats operating from the pier, or visit the recently restored O'Driscoll Castle and the Baltimore Beacon, one of the area's most notable landmarks. With the lively market town of Skibbereen also within easy reach, this is an ideal base for friends or family to get together!
Located in Western County Cork, six miles from the shops, pubs and restaurants of the market town of Skibbereen, Baltimore has many attractions for its visitors. Experience some incredible whale watching by chartering your own boat – dolphins have been known to get in on the action too! There are many shipwrecks in the bay, a reminder of the historic incident when Baltimore was attacked by Algerian pirates. Wander around the recently restored O'Driscoll Castle, or stroll up to the famous local landmark of Baltimore Beacon - also known as Lot's Wife. Baltimore is an unmissable holiday destination, which also offers the chance to explore the inlets and creeks of Reengaroga, Sherkin, and Carbery's Hundred Isles.

No towel rails or anywhere to hang them in bathrooms. Only 5 wine glasses and 6 mugs ( the house is for up to 8) Its large with a good garden for kids to play. As everyone else states its not white but grey stone. An information pack about the house, where to go eat etc would be useful as it is 5 miles from shops. it is sparesly furnished i.e a large bedroom with en suite but just a wardrobe - a dressing table and mirror would make it so much better. The lighting needs some lamps and softness. A low watt single bulb in dining and room and lounge. One shower needs the doors sorting out they do not close properly. This property could be excellent but just needs a bit more TLC. For the price we paid and as a regular cottage booker we expected more.

Plain simple decor and the property was presented with perfect cleanliness. All necessary equipment was in place and functional. Some furniture may need a bit of updating over time but it was perfectly adequate.
