Myself, my children and their spouses and five grandchildren ranging from 2 yrs to 20, stayed a glorious week at Dunworley Cottage . We had a blast at the beach, traveling to adjacent areas, going to pubs and restaurants and enjoying the house and each other. Can’t wait to go back!
I’ve never stayed any place like it. Instantly felt at home. The art was beautiful making our stay all the better. Kitchen stocked with everything one would need.Plenty of space for large families. Breathtaking views and beach very close. Many thanks for magical stay!

Thanks Anna, I’m so glad that you had a lovely time!
What a wonderful experience! Staying in this gorgeous home took us back in time and we were spoiled by the surroundings and the hosts. The landscape is stunningly beautiful. The mighty Atlantic Ocean is steps away but the house and the hosts were the real stars. No need to search farther. This is the place you should stay
The grounds and main cottage where we stayed were gorgeous! Gilly and Richard and their pups are wonderful! There were 8 of us- we did a few day trips and also stayed at the cottage quite a bit. The beach is UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL! The kitchen stocked full of everything needed to cook a few meals (go get groceries in nearby Clonikilty). I loved the quirky style of the rooms- so much cooler than a hotel! You’re surrounded by cows, and flowers, and ocean- just amazing! Thank you, Gilly and Richard!
Couldn’t have asked for a more ideal location. The house was beautiful and cozy, with a beautiful private garden yard. Just a short walk down to the beach with amazing views of the cliffs. Whole family loved to just go stand on the edges of the cliffs and watch the waves at high tide. We enjoyed fresh eggs and vegetables provided by the hosts. We had daily visits from the family dogs who are super sweet and full of energy. I particularly loved being lulled
to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves and the cows mooing.

First and last time Dunworley house!
Had a wonderful family gathering at Dunworley house. Loved the very unique charming and spacious holiday home. Unfortunately the negative contact with our host, which continued through out our 6 day stay, cast a shadow on our holiday. We felt uncomfortable and observed in the house. On numerous occasions they were very unfriendly to us and also to visitors. In this category of luxury holiday homes we expect more privacy and a more pleasant interaction / contact with host.
This is the third time we have stayed at Dunworly Cottage. The place is spacious and comfortable. Obviously a family home and as a reult it is homely containing pretty well everything we needed for a family get together. Richard and Gilly were, as ever, warm and welcoming. They were easy to get hold of and talk to and respected our privacy. We ate fresh produce from the hosts' garden and enjoyed the peace and stunning scenery. It is in a remote location (which we wanted) but still people visited local attractions (e.g. Clonakilty, Kinsale, Cork). Altogether an enjoyable stay with no complaints from us or our guests. Definitely will consider a fourth visit.
Remote, wild, beautiful and an interesting location. The house is quirky, like spending a week in a friend's home. The accommodation is spacious and well equipped, we had a most enjoyable holiday.
This home is so comfy and warm. Loved the big kitchen for cooking our family meals and the cows who greeted us each day. It was right out of a storybook. Gilly brought us fresh veg from the garden and we Collected late summer raspberries from the bushes in the yard. It was a magical experience.
We stayed here as an extended family. Children ranged in age from baby to 5 years old. The place is not ideally set up for children with dining room far from kitchen and separate sittingroom but the overall experience made up for that. There is a nice outdoor seating area and garden with spectacular views of the sea. The hosts were at hand for anything we needed while still giving us our space and privacy.
The proximity to the beach was a great advantage with people able to just stroll up and down as they wished. I would highly recommend this place.
Gilley and Richard are lovely and caring hosts with a fabulous home. We had two catered meals for 12 and even though we had a variety of food needs everyone was delighted. Wondeful!!!

Large spacious house, very rural, lovely walks and views.
We had a very pleasant 2 week stay at Dunworley. The house was large enough to invite family for the middle, Bank holiday, weekend. All the rooms are spacious (6 bedrooms - 5 are double). There are two sitting rooms, one very large and one smaller one with the TV. There is also a large kitchen and sun/dining room. The location is very rural with only one road in. There was plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Also well provided with toiletries (including towels and toilet rolls that lasted for the whole stay). There are two smaller rental cottages on site. A short walk (5mins) down the hill brings you to Dunworley beach - very pretty and very quiet. We went on a number of walks in the area including the Seven Heads marked walks. We visited Clonakilty and Kinsale - neither are far by car. The owners were on site (in one of the other cottages) for most of our stay and were very helpful, discrete and polite and were easy to contact. We had a very good stay and can see ourselves returning (we visit Ireland every year). Full marks to the owners.

Beautiful and spacious home in gorgeous location
Gilly and Richard made us feel right at home from our late night arrival to providing helpful local information. Nine of us had the time of our lives hiking, sightseeing and just relaxing. Could not have been any better. Thanks again.

Delighted - what a wonderful holiday!
My wife and I booked Dunworley House for a getaway with our extended family, over the Christmas break and were delighted with the place! The house is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, right off the rugged West Cork coastline. The interiors are charming and with fires roaring in both sitting rooms it was just the cosy retreat we were looking for. The bedrooms and all large and extremely comfortable, and the dinners and breakfasts are a must (everything was fresh and local - veggies from Gilly’s own garden!). Gilly and Richard could not have been more helpful and friendly, and were always at hand to advise on walks, day trips and what local pubs to check out!! We were honoured to be the first guests in the house, and will be back for more next year!
