HOUSE: Secret Harbour is located on a lovely little private boreen and sits on an elevated site overlooking the sea. It's the only house on our 7 acres of unspoilt natural countryside which is covered in red sandstone rock outcrops, with stands of oak, birch, willow, holly, rowan, rhododendron, furze, ferns and heathers. These provide glorious colour all year round and are home to a wonderful selection of wildlife that can be observed, especially early in the morning (binoculars are provided). A network of maintained tracks run through the grounds where you can stroll and enjoy the diverse nature and the wonderful views. The house exterior has a traditional stone finish while the interior is modern and contemporary with a palette of colours, plants, pictures and furnishings that is warm, welcoming and wonderfully relaxing. The house is superbly equipped and with constant care and attention to detail we try to ensure that our guests have everything necessary for a luxuriously comfortable and memorable stay. A paved patio, with furniture, runs along the entire rear of the house that is south facing and enjoys sunshine all day. There is a large first floor deck area that is accessed from one of the upstairs bedrooms. Views of the extensive grounds and the stunning surrounds can be enjoyed up here. This deck area is the perfect place for reading or painting, enjoying a coffee in the morning sunshine or a quiet relaxing drink in the evening. There is another deck/viewing area in the grounds that also provides spectacular sea and mountain views and is ideal for star-gazing.
