"We had the most amazing time at Whispering Pines."
The area is beautiful and the house has views that are breathtaking. The house has all you need for a comfortable stay. The house was really clean and had everything we needed for making family meals. Communication with the local host when we were there was great and the welcome wine was well received! We will certainly recommend to family and friends.

"We absolutely loved our stay at Whispering Pines."
When we arrived it was immediately obvious that this was no normal holiday let, and that it was actually someones part-time home. Everything you needed was here, and more. The level of comfort in the house is very high. Every aspect was top-of-the-range Each and every one of the beds had a decent proper mattress, and the linen was all 100% egyptian cotton - we all slept well. The furnishings were great, there was enough comfortable seating for all ten of us, and the dining table had room for ten people as well. Everything about the house was of good quality. Even the carpets were of good quality. We felt pampered. Ahakista itself is idyllic. It's just about as far west as you can go in Europe. There are huge skies, quiet days unspoilt by traffic noise or pollution, friendly people, and dark nights. Whispering Pines is in the best of settings. The view up and down the estuary is fantastic. We are really grateful to the owners for sharing this small piece of heaven. We'd love to return.
Thank you for your kind words, we are delighted you had a great stay. We're sorry that we were not able to arrange better weather for you!! We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Property Owner

About the location
KILCROHANE, COUNTY CORK
Bantry 15 miles.
The lively and vibrant village of Kilcrohane is located south west of Durrus as you head towards the end of the Sheep's Head Peninsula, in County Cork. The village takes its name from the Church of St. Crohan founded in the 8th century. The crystal clear waters at the coast of Kilcrohane are exceptional, and provide a great place to swim and explore all of the hidden caves dotted about, while those who prefer to stay on land can enjoy the Sheep’s Head Way and traverse some of its 60 miles of trails. As well as fantastic land and sea scenery, Kilcrohane also has a wonderful traditional music scene, and plays host to the music festival Ceoil on the Coast each year, so no matter what you’re looking for on your Irish getaway, Kilcrohane has something for everyone!
