Here at Cottages for Couples we are big into romance, but… we believe that romance is more than hearts and flowers. To us, romance is about sharing the moment. That could mean watching the sun set together from the top of Lough Hyne hill or sitting together under the stars of a clear, unpolluted West Cork night sky. And, of course, romance is about passion.
We have joined forces with a small number of West Cork people who know a lot about passion. Each of them is passionate about what they do here in West Cork and we at Cottages for Couples invite you to share their passion.
Each of them is recognised as an expert in their field with national and international acclaim and each of them offer you the chance to enjoy a shared experience which we believe will enhance your stay with Cottages for Couples.
