Buying and Staying in West Cork Property, the Sheep's Head Peninsula
Those buying property on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula or any other West Cork property are often looking for recommendations on where to stay also.
There is a broad-ish sort of range of places to stay around the region generally. On the Sheep’s Head Peninsula, accommodation consists basically of B&B’s and mostly farmhouse B&Bs. Seamount Farm B&B is one such place. It’s only 12k from Bantry town, so it’s convenient enough (there are plenty of good taxi services serving Bantry and Durrus too) and, most importantly of all, it gives access to the wonderful walking routes of the Sheep’s Head Peninsula. Incidentally, if you are interested in the walking routes of the Sheep’s Head and just about anywhere else in the country, then this website is well worth having a look at.
From your B&B base on the Sheep’s Head, you are free to explore a lot of properties that are on offer. The area is becoming ever more popular with people that are keen to settle in West Cork. For a start, it’s got an atmosphere that many have described as almost “island-like”, every part of it is pretty and there are wonderful sea views from most of the peninsula. As an example of some of the types of properties and the range available, check out this page. Prices range from this one at €370,000 to this one for a little more money.
So, no matter where you’re staying, as any seasoned military campaigner will tell you, it’s essential to set up base camp in the optimum location first. And that rule carries as much for buying property on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula as for anywhere else.
