We are just so excited, thankful and honoured with the support from all our guests & community that has gotten us this far! Five years ago we took a punt, chucked in our city life and started this business in rural West Cork, the only experience in hospitality being Summer jobs as students in hotels & bars (in the “olden days” as the kids like to say 😂) and a love of cooking & refurb projects (yes, we’ve really moved 8 times!!) We love what we do, meeting so many fantastic people from all over the world every week. The stories we hear from guests & the experiences we’ve had over the last few years are truly amazing. We are thankful every day for this fantastic adventure we’re on ❤️ If someone told me 5 years ago we’d be finalists in the @indo.ie_travel reader awards, become a member of @irelandsbluebook and retain our @mckennasguides award for 3 years in a row all in one month, I’d have said they were crazy. But maybe being crazy & changing your life is the only way! Thank you everyone & roll on January 🤞🏼❤️ . . #thankyou #clonakilty #westcork #dunowenhouse #ireland #travelawards

Got crafty & Christmassy yesterday in stunning Glandore with the lovely @ruthfortuneflowers ..... 🎄 My first attempt at wreath making is rustic at its best but features all the wild foraged greenery from the hedgerows here in West Cork. I’ll be out with the secateurs later today & looking forward to decking out the rest of the house! 🎄🎄 . . #christmas #wreath #deckthehalls #dunowenhouse #foraging #foliage #irelandsbluebook #wheretostay #westcork #clonakilty #countryhouse

In all seasons, a walk to Galley Head is one of our favourite hikes from Dunowen House..... Out along @thewildatlanticway route from Dunowen, you pass some of Ireland’s most stunning coastal scenery. I always think the light this time of year makes the headland look mystical. It must have been a fairly wild & isolated place to live a century ago but these old deserted houses were home to quite a large community. Certainly a perfect spot to blow off the cobwebs & clear the mind ❤️ . #wildatlanticway #dunowenhouse #galleyhead #blowoffthecobwebs #sundaywalks
