 Holiday rentals in Ireland
Ballymacrown Homestead, which consists of three West Cork cottages - the “Croft”, the “Gallery” and our home, which adjoins the Gallery - the “Old Farmhouse”. The homestead has been here for two maybe three hundred years.
The layout is the same throughout with loft bedrooms and cathedral style ceilings in the open plan living areas. The Croft features a magnificent fireplace and has views across the rose garden and wild flower meadow, whilst the Gallery has panoramic views of the countryside and out across the islands as far as Mizen Head.

The cottages sit in an acre of land with lovely views to the mountains and to Loch Ine (Lough Hyne) Forest. There is also an orchard that we planted a couple of years ago; a herb garden behind the cottages and our latest project the dew pond. We garden organically and to limit the impact on the environment we use eco-friendly cleaning products, encourage recycling and provide hand made irish soap.

| About the Area: |
Baltimore itself is a vibrant little fishing and sailing village, with many good restaurants to choose from. Previous guests have enjoyed driving along the coast visiting the various beaches and secluded bays or experiencing the barren Sheep’s Head and Mizen Head peninsulas , (awe inspiring in both good and stormy weather) and for the more adventurous over the mountains to the Lady’s View overlooking the lakes of Killarney. Other activities enjoyed have been diving expeditions, fishing off the quay in Baltimore for mackerel and keen photographers have captured the dramatic scenery and for those interested in the history of the area the Famine exhibition in Skibbereen.
