Maggy's wood

The main cottage has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs and a large kitchen and cosy sitting room down stairs. It can accommodate 5 guests.The adjacent stable can accommodate 3-4 guests as a separate unit from the cottage.
Maggy's was built in the end of the 1700s and it is thought it was originally a single story cottage with a thatched roof. The first documented reference we have of a house being here is on Griffiths valuation of 1852, which shows the main part of the house and what is now the forge building. The tenant was Jeremiah O'Brien and he rented 53 acres and the house for thirty pounds and fifteen shillings a year from the landlord James Redmond Barry.

Step inside Mrs. Kane’s Room. ✨ Right across the hall from Maggy’s room, you find this special bedroom. 

This room features a window from where you can see The old head of Kinsale when the weather conditions allow it. This room sleeps up to 2 people and fits a cot as well. 

Very different from Maggy’s Room, Mrs. Kane’s Room brings back the feel of the 1800s featuring unique decor and traditional furniture. 

We are Maggy’s Wood, located in Barryroe County Cork in Ireland. If you’re looking for a unique stay, this is the place for you!

We have many unique features here at Maggy’s Wood, including Wall Art. The old barn, that is now “The Loft” features The Old Head of Kinsale. 

By looking out the window of The Loft you can see the lighthouse. During the rebuild we decided to create it as part of the house. The talented daughter Kate sculpted this and another piece here at Maggy’s Wood bringing history and tradition to modern surroundings.

Autumn at Maggy’s Wood 🍁 is like stepping into a storybook. Golden leaves blanket the paths, and raindrops cling to branches, sparkling in the soft light. 

The air is crisp with the scent of pine, and the gentle bray of Rosie and Danny echoes through the misty air. It’s a time when nature slows down, inviting you to wrap up in its quiet beauty and savor the magic of the season. 🍂

POV: You book a holiday in the Irish Countryside and Hozier is your neighbour. ☘️ 

Well, Hozier does live in County Wicklow and we are in West Cork, but it technically isn’t too far away! 😄 This property is currently available for autumn and winter for only €300 a night and sleeps up to 8 adults plus children. 

This is Maggy’s Wood. A beautiful renovated and restored 1798 Farmhouse / Cottage. A family project that was turned into a luxury holiday rental over 3 years. The spa area features a big hot tub which is the perfect treat, especially at night. Come out to West Cork and enjoy a relaxing and calm staycation. We have some more availability. ✨

Just a 10min drive from the Cottage, the Life Boat Inn is a great spot to sit down and enjoy a delicious dinner, with family or friends. We hadn’t been here in a moment and can say it has been one of the best dinners we’ve had in a good while and can always recommend @the_lads_from_the_lifeboat 👏🏻

It was fantastic. The service was great, the interior is stunning and the food was delicious! 

What we had:

Starters:
- Pork Belly Croquettes 
- Roaring Bay Mussels with homemade Soda Bread
- Beetroot & Macroom Ricotta Salad
- Kids Pasta (which we ordered to come with the starter) 

Mains:
- Traditional Fish & Chips
- Aubergine Bake
- Beef Burger 

Dessert:
- Guinness Cake with Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Starry Night ⭐️ When you stay with us, you don’t only get to explore the surroundings during daylight, the nights are special as well. 🌙

Today, we’re taking a drive over to Courtmacsherry, a beautiful village by the seaside with stunning views and amazing food. Only 10 mins from the Cottage. Even the drive down is beautiful. 

We arrived around 10am on a sunny day at low tide. It was quiet, calm and amazing to walk by the shore to enjoy the view and explore the surroundings. A perfect morning to recharge. 

We will be back to try out the restaurants, and hikes and share the experience. But for now, enjoy some impressions of a sunny day here in Courtmac. ☀️

One of the things we would like to offer to our guests is to pick their own vegetables when they stay with us. Let’s have a look at the first potatoes of the season and see if we can harvest any. 🥔

Why is this place called Maggy’s Wood. Owner Tom gives an insight of why we decided to call it that. 

We found many treasures during the build and one of them was little boys shoes. Tom made it his task to find out more about the history of this beautiful old farmhouse and found out that 3 Margaret’s lived here. 

Only two of them got to live a longer life. But this is to honour them and to cherish their memories.

They‘re home. 🫏 Meet Rosie & Danny, a mother and her son who are now our new permanent residents here at Maggy’s Wood. The whole team is in love 😍 Who‘s excited for donkey content? We sure are.

The donkeys are arriving so soon! 🫏 We have to get the fencing done before they arrive, so this is what we’re doing today. Let’s get the property donkey ready.
