This stunning Cathedral Suite features vaulted ceilings and original 1700’s pitched beams. The free-standing stone bathtub is a real wow factor, set beneath the exposed stone wall section. This bedroom also includes a separate ensuite & walk-in shower.
The Studio Suite
The Studio Suite occupies the entire top floor of one wing of the house, with four large roof windows, gorgeous light and stunning views towards the West. It was once an artist studio used by Noel Redding’s former partner, Carol Appleby. The ensuite bathroom has the original 1700’s beams, which you can admire as you soak in the bathtub!
Noel's Room
Named in honour of Noel Redding, whose bedroom this was for the thirty years he lived at Dunowen House. Noel’s Room has five windows that cast light inside all day, a gorgeous garden view and a glimpse of the sea at the bottom of the lane. It also has a fab ensuite bathroom.
The Captains Room
The Captains Room is named after Captain George Sandes, who lived here at Dunowen until his death in 1876. This room has lovely sunny views into the courtyard with its old bell tower. Renovated in 2023 it now has a stunning kingsize 4-poster bed, replica Georgian window shutters, antique furniture and beautiful coastal artwork by local artists. The room has a free-standing bathtub and a Travertine marble ensuite shower-room.
The Orchard Room
The Orchard Room is ideal for anyone staying with children or if there are 3-4 guests sharing the room. It has a cosy annex with a double bed just off the main suite, giving a little extra privacy. The Orchard has a marble tiled ensuite, comfy beds and lots of natural light.
SANDES Room
Sandes Room is situated on the south side of the house, looking out across the garden towards the sea at the end of the laneway. It’s bright and spacious, sleeping up to four guests in a king bed and a custom-made sofa bed. The real wow factor in this bedroom is the fully tiled glass mosaic bathroom that pops when the lights are on.
"A Magical West Cork Escape"
We stayed at Dunowen House for a long weekend and genuinely didn’t want to leave. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the house and its surroundings – the views, the gardens, the quiet… it’s pure magic. The house itself is full of character and history but still feels incredibly cosy and luxurious.
We loved having our morning coffee overlooking the sea and strolling down to the nearby coves. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Clonakilty is only a few minutes away too, so we had some lovely meals out and picked up bits from the local markets.
