The County Cork region

County Cork is full of contrast; it is home to dozens of vibrant, atmospheric towns and villages. Yet it’s full of truly breathtaking natural beauty all around. With unspoilt beaches, historic castles, and modern visitor attractions, there’s plenty for all ages to absorb.

If you’re a fan of beautiful scenery, of dramatic skies and exploration, this is the place for you.

From the bustling seaside town of Youghal in the east to the rugged peninsulas and harbour villages of the west, there is always plenty to see and do in County Cork.

The Kinsale area

Golf: The beautiful new parkland course at Farrangalway is just a 5 minute drive, while within a 30 minute drive you have some of Ireland's best courses such as: The Old Head, Cork Golf Club; Harbour Point; Lee Valley, Muskerry Golf Club, Bandon Golf club and Fota Island Golf Club.

Beach: The Dock is a small safe beach just outside Kinsale. Garretstown is a 25 minute drive, and beaches in West Cork, i.e. Inchadoney and Owenahincha are well worth a visit.

Water Sports: The Oysterhaven centre, 10 miles, caters for every level and age group with a variety of water sports including kayaking, wind-surfing and sailing; while the Outdoor Education Centre in Kinsale caters for adventure sports like canoeing, archery, absailing and rock-climbing.

“Perfect accommodation, great location, superb hosts” Copper Beech Farm was everything that we could have hoped for and more. The Barn was well-furnished, very attractive and had everything we could possibly need. With its location close to Cork, Kinsale and beyond, our vacation was full of adventure. The Sheehan family were charming hosts, answering all of our questions and providing good advice for our young family. In particular, our two young boys had a wonderful time helping to milk the cows, feed the calves and bounce on the trampoline. We particularly enjoyed the wood stove in the evenings and the beautiful countryside that surrounds it. We would strongly recommend Copper Beech Farm.

“As always, a great experience at Copper Beech Farm” This was our third stay here, and we found it again very comfortable, despite the pretty chilly Irish weather. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and the living/dining space is upstairs. The table is big enough to easily seat more than four (nice for us as we like to have friends over once during the stay), and the kitchen comes with all the usual appliances (toaster, microwave, electric kettle etc.), so cooking is a breeze. The scones with jam and butter on arrival are a sweet touch, as well as the fresh flowers from the garden. We also found firewood and built a fire on those nights when we stayed in. The views from most rooms are pretty, over fields and rolling hills. There is also a little balcony off the living space with a small table, so in theory you could sit out, but it has almost never been mild enough for us to do that. On the farm itself is a playground for kids with a trampoline and some toys, which our two girls loved. The also loved helping to feed the calves and watching the milking, and farmer Michael was always friendly and patient with them. We loved being able to have access to the fresh milk straight from the tank. There are also two friendly dogs, and in previous years we were able to gather eggs from the hens, but they weren't ready for laying yet this time. Location wise, the farm is conveniently located for the sights of West Cork (Kinsale is about 10-15 minutes drive, Cork City a bit further), and also to Cork city, but you will need a car if you stay here to get around. It is very quiet at night, so our kids always sleep later than at home, which we of course appreciate! We are very comfortable staying here, and our kids love it! Response: Thanks for your kind response. It was nice to meet you again and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to meeting you again. Michael & Eileen

“Would not recommend staying in Winter” My husband and I booked this cottage for one week during November and were very disappointed with the accommodation. On our arrival at the cottage, we had to phone the manager to inform him of... more Response: We were sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at Copper Beech Farm. We tell all our guests on arrival to let us know if they have any complaints or problems with the cottages. Any issues... more

“Homely,peaceful,family friendly setting” We received a lovely,warm welcome from Michael on our arrival after a long journey and were delighted to find fresh milk in the fridge and homemade scones. To our son's delight Michael gave us a tour of the farm and spent time demonstrating the art of milking to him. The apartment was ideal for us, with the kids (age 7 and 11) sharing a room with their own bathroom. They had bunk beds which the kids enjoyed too. There is plenty of space in the open plan dining/living area and a fully equipped kitchen. There is plenty of space outside for the kids to ride bikes and a play area with a trampoline. As a base to explore Kinsale and the surrounding area we found it ideal as it was only a short drive away. Response: Thanks for taking the time to give us your review. We are glad you all enjoyed your stay at Copper Beech Farm.

“Relax in Ballinhassig” We spent a very relaxing week at Copper Beech Farm with our two young sons. There are lots of excellent amenities nearby and stunning scenery to be enjoyed. Michael and his family were very hospitable and the cottage was very reasonably priced. A great escape from urban life! Response: Thanks for your review. We appreciate your kind words.

“definately where we will stay for all future trips to Ireland” Having relatives in the area (and our family home sold) my family and I needed to find a holiday home for our visits to Ireland. Cooper Beach Farm looked too good to be true on the internet so I asked my brother and sister-in-law to visit in person before making the booking. We were very pleased on our arrival to find that everything lived up to my family's recommendation and the website photos and definately plan on staying here again for all our future visits. The location also was perfect. It offers the peace and tranquility of the countryside, the excitement of being on a working farm, convenience of having the property owners close by and a short drive to Cork city and Kinsale. Despite an unseasonably cold and wet June, we were very comfortable in the house (once we figured out how to program each room heater individualy, which was a simple process once done the first time). I would not have thought to even mention this if I had not read that another visitor felt the property was damp and cold. Last year I even read a review from someone who stayed during a time when all water pipes in the area froze due to sub-zero temperatures but remained toasty in this house. Having a washer, dryer, games, movies, etc on hand was also a huge bonus given we were travelling with our 2 and 4 year old daughters. When the weather was dry, they also loved the trampoline, toy shed, chickens, the old dog (whose name I forget) and waving to the cows. Micheal and Eileen (while never intruding) were very friendly and helpful. Michael re-connected the TV for us when we somehow disconnected ourselves and also arranged to loan us an internet modem so that my husband could take care of some business. I have already recommended the rental properties at Copper Beach Farm to a colleague who may visit with his wife next week and will be highly recommending to anyone else I know who may be visiting the area. Response: Thanks for your kind review. We enjoyed meeting you and sharing our farm with you. We look forward to meeting you again.

“Excellent Location” Excellent location, really close to Kinsale which is a lovely little sailing town. The farm was lovely, and the eggs & milk that were available every day was a lovely touch. Response: Thanks for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday at Copper Beech Farm.

“Fantastic Farm!” We had a wonderful stay at Copper Beech Farm in August. The weather was fantastic and we went to the beach 3 times! Farmer Michael was great with the kids - showing them the milking, collecting eggs and even taking them in the tractor. This made it so much more relaxing for us, knowing the kids were happy. The bonus was that there was the playhouse, trampoline and outdoor toys which kept everyone occupied and entertained. The cottages themselves were very well equiped and we had a very comfortable stay.

“A home from home: quiet hideaway - except for the calves mooing!” The living room had a vase of lilies from the garden to welcome us and scones, too! In barn conversion style, the accommodation is on the upper floor and well laid out, with a nice little terrace at the entrance at the top of the steps, overlooking the farmyard. Conveniently situated in easy reach of the coast, between the delights of Kinsale and Cork City / the airport.
