We spent two nights in this wonderful house. It was clean and spacious and we had cosy nights by the fire. The location on the Sheep's Head is spectacular. The magical light and morning Winter sun was breath-taking. I ate breakfast outside accompanied by a lovely robin. Taschi was a very warm and welcoming host.

Somewhat disappointing

Good location, excellent view. Had to ask for pillow, blankets and sheets. Only 1 towel per person. Had to ask for paper towels and toilet paper. They advertised a washer and dryer but we did not have access to it. They would take our laundry and return it the next day.

Remote Retreat with family

We had a very pleasant stay at Taschi‘s House. From here, we explored Sheep‘s Head, Mizen Head and Bantry. Taschi was very welcoming and helpful. She and a friendly neighbor even pulled our car out of a ditch.

Fabulous Sheep's Head peninsula stay!!

Absolutely gorgeous house in a stunning location. The house is like new, beautifully furnished with both modern furniture and some of the owner's antique Bavarian furniture! Lots of light, stunning views towards the west and out to sea, located down a botharin (small rural lane with grass down the middle for those who are not aquatinted with the term as Gaeilge!) off a botharin on the road to from Durrus to Ahakista, so... ideal for R'n'R, rural strolls and listening to local animal life as well as beautiful sunny sea views from the back terrace!! Every you need is there (down to a drinking bowl for the dog!); no washing machine but we didn't need one. Easy access to everywhere and daytime walking to Durrus and Ahakista absolutely do-able. Super house, stunning location! I very much hope to be back and would recommend without hesitation! Thanks for all Taschi!

Beautiful Spot

The house is amazing and the view from the terrace is simply stunning. The house has place to spare for a family of 4. Bantry - for all amenities and great food - is 15min by car. Durrus (with a few nice pubs and a village grocer) a good 5 minutes. Sheep‘s Head is a gorgeous and not too straining walk with Beara and Mizen Head also within reach for a day trip. Very highly recommended!
