The Burrow a perfect retreat

KEEPING its head proudly above ground is the modestly-titled home The Burrow, in wild West Cork’s Ahakista.

The boosted bungalow, all bulked up on designer steroids and built in staggered stages, is set right above the tiny village outside Durrus and Bantry, overlooking scenic Dunmanus Bay.

Ahakista is still set to be the hide-away home of Graham Norton, if the complicated and protracted legals on his purchase of period and waterside Ahakista House can be completed.
