The last house on the road — the description sounds romantic, and it will appeal to those who want to get away from it all. For those who do, what about Castlepoint Farmhouse?

This renovated, four-bed, two-storey house is five miles west of Schull, with remarkable views along Roaringwater Bay, over islands and inlets, and with a castle ruin in the foreground.
