    Luxury on the Wild Atlantic Way, West Cork.
    Originally built in 1771 for Colonel George Sandes the house was famously the home for 30 years of Noel Redding, bass guitarist for The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Clonakilty music hero. Over the last number of years it has been lovingly renovated and restored to its former glory and with many reminders of its illustrious past still on view.
    Dunowen House is in the unspoilt village of Ardfield, with secluded Sands Cove private beach 5 minutes walk from the door and close to magnificent Galley Head lighthouse. The bustling market town of Clonakilty is only 5km away, with Kinsale a 45 minute drive to the east and Bantry the same distance to the west.
    Dunowen is perfectly located to explore all that magnificent West Cork has to offer including the Wild Atlantic Way, golfing, surfing, fishing, wha...     Read more

    Management response:

    Thank you for your very honest reply - we have to agree with you, the amount charged was a lot more than we charge guests when they book directly with us. We are finding Tripadvisor & their partner engines to be a very unsatisfactory way of taking bookings and communicating with guests. Not only do they charge us a sizeable...
