Luxurious living in a rural west Cork setting

West Cork home blends old and new, a traditional cottage with modern two-storey add-ons, says Tommy Barker.

IS it just the look of the name, Reenascreena, that sticks in the mind and mind’s eye, or is it actually the case that there are more signs pointing towards the crossroads spot than there might be souls living there?

Whatever it is, for anyone driving around west Cork’s back roads and the heartland between Clonakilty and Rosscarbery, or Leap, Drinagh, Dunmanway and Enniskeane, there seems to be a plethora of road signs all indicating where Reenascreena might be found.
