About the host
Hosted by Denise Cassedy
Leader’s Farmhouse was purchased by my great grandfather in 1905 where he raised his family. It is an original cob home from 1700’s and fell into a derelict state during the eighties. It was a restoration project with the old, labor intensive methods and limestone used to restore this jewel to its original glory. Modern touches like underfloor heating and power shower were installed. We are excited to share our home with international guests from around the world.
What makes this property unique
Our home has the benefit of being only a short distance from Kinsale but set in the bucolic countryside. It has stunning views of the Bandon River .
