The Cabin

This unique tiny house is an inviting & creative space, located along the Wild Atlantic Way - exactly 1/2 way between the 2017 Urbanism award winning town of Clonakilty and the renowned beach Inchydoney which is known for being one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches in West Cork. Built using native Douglas fir & surrounded by trees, the cabin is located on the grounds of a small residential home where guests will have their own separate outdoor decking and privacy. The Cabin looks across the Clogheen Marsh so the following extract from birdwatch Ireland might be of interest to our guests! "Clonakilty comprises two estuaries separated by Inchydoney Island. The northern area is Clonakilty Harbour with estuarine mud and sandflats. Cul de sac pool, an area of open water and reedbed, with a fringe of alder woodland, is part of this area. The southern area is Muckross Strand, again an estuary with mainly sand flats. There are two areas of marsh with patches of exposed mud and marsh; White's Marsh and Clogheen Marsh lying to the north and west of Muckross Strand. Generally wintering waders and wildfowl but particularly Black-tailed Godwit, Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew, Golden Plover, Wigeon, Shelduck, Dunlin, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Greenshank and Knot." The Cabin and decking outside as well as the grassy garden area below. Please note we have a shower in the bathroom but no bath. If we are available, we can sometimes provide spins to and from local hotels or into the town. We respect our guests privacy and space but our own house is a stone's throw from the cabin, in case you would like any information or local recommendations We live 1.8km outside Clonakilty town heading out the Ardfield road. Our house is surrounded by fields, trees and a marshland. When the tide is in you can see the sea in the distance from the cabin and we have a neighbour next door as well as across the road. Walking or cycling is a nice way around here if the weather is good. The Clonakilty Bike scheme is a great way for tourists to rent bikes hassle free. Local taxi's operate in the area but during busy periods may need to be booked in advance. We are located approx 2km from the public bus stop. -Logs for the stove are stored around the side of the Cabin. -When lighting the stove best leave the air vent open and close once flame is burning keeping a little open all the time. -Please don’t put coal into the wood burning stove as it would damage it. -The road into town is dark in patches so bring a torch if planning on walking at night. -The outdoor light is on a sensor so will turn itself off. - let us know if you would like us take bins from you to put in our large outdoor bin. -You can message us through the Airb&b site during your stay if you want to get in touch about anything at any stage
