5 Star Dunworley House – Beachfront Luxury on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Coast
Welcome to 5 Star Dunworley House — a truly special six-bedroom beachfront retreat nestled along the breathtaking coastline of West Cork.
Here, the Atlantic Ocean stretches endlessly before you. Fresh sea air fills the mornings. Evenings end beside roaring fires. And soft sandy beaches lie just moments from your door.
This is where families gather, friends reconnect, and memories are made against one of Ireland’s most spectacular natural backdrops.
Though wonderfully secluded, the vibrant and music-filled town of Clonakilty is just 20 minutes away — offering the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and lively Irish charm.
The Space – Designed for Togetherness
5 Star Dunworley House has been thoughtfully designed for large families and groups seeking both connection and comfort.
Inside you’ll find:
-
Six spacious bedrooms accommodating up to 12 guests
-
Two generous living rooms — one for relaxed adult evenings, one for children
-
A fully equipped kitchen at the heart of the home, ideal for preparing local West Cork produce
-
A bright and welcoming dining room made for long, shared meals
-
Inviting interiors with cosy furnishings and open fireplaces
Every room feels warm, comfortable, and unpretentious — a home designed for real living by the sea.
Outdoor Living & Atlantic Views
In warmer months, the front lawn becomes an extension of the home:
-
Croquet, boules, and table tennis
-
Outdoor dining with BBQ and panoramic sea views
-
Children’s play areas including a swing and tree house
-
Coastal walks and beach access right at your doorstep
Morning swims. Afternoon games. Sunset dinners overlooking the Atlantic.
This is coastal living at its finest.
Optional Catering – A Private Farm-to-Fork Experience
(Advance booking essential)
For guests who wish to fully unwind, optional in-house catering brings the very best of West Cork directly to your table.
Menus celebrate zero-air-mile, chemical-free produce sourced from:
-
The property’s organic garden

Trusted local farms
-
The nearby Atlantic waters
Breakfast might include:
-
West Cork pork sausages with fresh Dunworley eggs
-
Smoked salmon and brown soda bread
-
Proper porridge with homemade preserves
-
Homemade muesli with seasonal fruit
Dinner becomes a four-course seasonal feast featuring locally caught fish, ethically reared meats, and vegetables picked fresh that very day.

All dietary requirements and allergies are carefully catered for.

Guest experiences
Chris May 2025This place is amazing! Beautiful location and a 5 min walk to the beach. Richard and Gilly are perfect hosts. Respectful of your privacy but available should you have any queries. We had a lovely bbq on our final day and played with their very friendly dogs. All in all a perfect place to visit with family and friends. Would highly recommend.
David April 2025Thanks Richard & Gilly. Great place. Tons of space. A really well equipped house. 3 nights wasn’t enough!
Georgie April 2025We had the most amazing time at Gilly and Richard's place! I can't recommend it enough. The house is absolutely stunning and easy fit our group. We walked down to the beach in the mornings for a cold swim, went for walks along the gorgeous west cork coast and played games in the house. The locals at the Grange tavern were so friendly and welcoming, the owner even gave us a lift home free of charge! We hit up Debarras in Clonakilty for the sunday night trad session, which was pure magic. We couldn't have asked for a best stay in West Cork.
