About the home
Bessie's Cottage is a traditional thatched cottage, which was built pre-Famine, around 1820. It is full of old world charm, nestled into the hill, giving the perfect setting overlooking the sea. Most of its original features have been retained and restored, including the half door and thatched roof, and modern creature comforts have been installed in sympathy with its heritage.
The cottage sits on almost an acre of land, including an outdoor barbecue / picnic area and a forested area to the left with ample off road parking for several cars. It is surrounded by flowering shrubs and enjoys a sheltered, sunny and warm aspect.
