    Liney and Jackie were lovely friendly hosts. Everything we needed was in the house. We were very pleased with our stay. 😀

    A very lovely place, and very lovely people - I didn't want to leave, and hope to go back some day. It was extra special to be surrounded by nature, to hear birds and insects and the breeze in the trees.

Liney and Jackie
Shiplake Mountain Farmhouse and Cottage are situated in the heart of West Cork. There is no passing traffic so it's very safe for children and pets. All bed linen and towels are provided. We also provide tea, coffee, cooking oil, salt and pepper. Washing machine in the utility area. Wood burning stove in the sitting room. We provide a welcome/starter pack of for the stove. Logs, briquettes coal etc are available from the garage in Dunmanway. Gas central heating. The hot water is instant. Unfortunately, due to the current high cost of electricity and gas we now have to charge for usage. Both are metered and will be read on arrival and departure and charged based on units used. Clean, fresh water is supplied from our own well. There is a small woodland to enjoy with open/bonfire and children's play area. The large garden welcomes you to rest, relax and enjoy the views.
Myself and my partner Jackie have been here at Shiplake Mountain for the past 15 years. We have been running self catering accommodation here since 2008 Jackie is a working artist specialising in sculpture and I am a registered Homeopath. In our spare time we love to travel, to hike and to cycle. We both have a love of gardening and enjoy spending time in nature. We have planted many trees and hedgerows and created habitat for wild life and bio-diversity. We aim to make your holiday here a special and enjoyable experience and for you to feel at home away from home.
