Sherkin Island lies in the sheltered waters of Roaringwater Bay, west Cork. It is a relatively small island, no more than 5km by 3km, with a current population of approximately 100. There is easy access by ferry from Baltimore, a trip of about 15 minutes. The island offers a special experience for anyone with an interest in wildlife and the marine. It is one of the best places in Europe to observe the European Otter (Lutra lutra) - there are signs of them everywhere if you know what to look for. The island is also home to the independently run Sherkin Island Marine Station, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

"This is a lovely cottage and the hosts are very responsive and helpful. It is probably best suited for a warmer season fishing trip than a cold weather stay on the coast.The view from the cottage is gorgeous and the back yard is wonderful."

"Very well located and functional accommodation. Environment and change of scenery guaranteed"

Cosy south facing sunny cottage Ballylickey, Bantry - on the Wild Atlantic Way

5/5 Excellent

Ballylickey cottage

"This cozy old farm cottage was just what we were looking for. Lots of character with the 18” thick walls & fun window seats. The location was perfect with beautiful views & very quiet. Easily accessible to Bantry, Glengariff. We enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings. . There is plenty of room for a larger family. The barbecue grill was unusable & we needed to supply our own soap & shampoo, this is not a complaint just a heads up"
