And, finally, our favourite piece of estate agent's guff

Surveying the landscapes of Coolmain and Harbour View this luxurious three-bedroom bungalow offers itself to the open market as an exceptionally well-appointed and presented home on circa 1/3 acres of ground but not just any site, elevated and overlooking the harbour to Courtmacsherry, the beaches of both Coolmain and Harbour View and the main inlets and features of perhaps one of the most natural and scenic areas between Kinsale and Clonakilty. Three large bedrooms, captain's lounge and kitchen area are complimented with chic European design, decoration and, of course, luxury. A property such as this, which enjoys a close and personal relationship with the sea and its gentle whisper of sand-soaked beaches, rarely leaves possession of its proud owner, so don't miss this opportunity.
