About this property

Stable Converted Cottage In The Heart Of Castletownshend

Passing through an archway into the courtyard of Shana Court, a customs house, Shana Cottage was originally the stables. Castletownshend is within easy access (52 miles) of Cork Airport. The village provides an excellent base to explore the magnificent surrounding countryside, coastline and beaches by car or foot. Opposite Shana Cottage is the award winning Mary Ann’s pub which produces fine quality local seafood with a bar and restaurant menu. The village has a public stony beach which is clean and safe for swimming, and a public pier suitable for launching small boats. West Cork is one of the best places in Europe for seeing whales, dolphins and seals. Trips out to see them can be arranged, where you are picked up from the public pier. There is plenty of scenic walking in the area, including Knockdrum Stone Circle just outside the village and the ‘Five Fingers’ standing stones close by.

Could be so good
I am afraid I was one of the few who found this property really disappointing. I love old so no problem there, the 3 foot thick whitewashed walls were brilliant and the lounge was lovely ( photo below if there is an option to upload) - but that is where the plaudits stop. It is adequate and we enjoyed our stay - but old is one thing, tired and in need of some (quite a lot actually) TLC is totally different. Our hearts dropped as we pulled up into the parking space, felt as if we had booked in to a 1960’s Glasgow tenement. The big house next door look almost derelict and the two shells of old stables adjoining, even worse. Kitchen had all needed but in 2023 don’t think an oap should have to get on his knees and burn his fingers lighting the gas oven with matches! The wood stove looked really welcoming, the empty log basket didn’t! The contact in the village said she’d get some but didn’t. She also took 30 euros from us for heating/ electric ( as agreed) but wondered if it all found it’s way to the owner! The bedroom was of a good size but like so much more of the house it really need decorating. The house could be SO good! Apologies for publishing this publicly, I have tried to get in touch with the owner privately via the verbo website but to no avail!

Converted stable
Most of the original stone walls of the cottage are painted white and all the rooms are large and spacious. The exception is the galley kitchen, by definition. Everything needed for a stay is there and housekeeper Anne is welcoming and helpful.

Lovely cottage in beautiful village
We had a lovely week in Shana Cottage which is a converted stable next to a big house with which you have shared access to the garden. Communication with the owner and housekeeper was seamless and parking is in the courtyard next to the cottage,which is opposite one of the village pubs that does great food. The cottage iswell equipped for self catering and is well furnished with a nice mix of traditional and modern. A great location for trips out to local beaches and villages. We will be back next year!

A Real Irish Cottage
If you want an air conditioned perfect pristine accommodation, go fine a Hotel chain. This is a real peace of Ireland, an old cottage with all you really need, warm and cosy and great location. There is an amazing Restaurant literally across the road that specializes in fresh fish dishes. And a friendly pub & shop 100 metres up the street. All in all we had a great stay here. And will book again when we are vaguely in the area.
