Kitchens for Courtmacsherry cottages and houses by the bay.
Kitchen Hero covers Courtmacsherry and the shore around it from our workshop in Skibbereen. Every kitchen is measured, designed and fitted by Marius.
Small rooms, thick walls and the light off the water.
Courtmacsherry is a village of coastal cottages, older terraced houses along the front, and newer houses set back to catch the view of the bay. Many of the older kitchens are small, closed off and dark, laid out for a time when the kitchen was somewhere you cooked and left. The most common ask is to open that room up and make it somewhere you sit.
We work in Courtmacsherry from Skibbereen. Marius comes to the house, measures the room himself, and designs a kitchen for the walls he finds rather than the ones a catalogue assumes. It is cut to size, painted in the colour you choose, and fitted by him. A good few houses here are lived in for part of the year, and that is fine. Call and talk it through.

Cottages, village houses and the weekend places.
What we tend to find in Courtmacsherry, and what tends to suit.
Coastal cottages
Thick walls, low ceilings, deep window reveals and not a right angle in the room. A kitchen cut to those measurements can use every inch without fighting the house. Light painted colours help in a small room, and so does storage that goes up rather than out.
Older houses along the front
Terraced and semi-detached houses with more height, sometimes a kitchen at the back that has been added onto once already. These often suit a kitchen that runs through into the dining space, with the tall units gathered on one wall so the room stays open.
Holiday homes and second houses
Owners want a kitchen that looks right the moment they walk in and is easy to keep between visits. Simple layouts, sensible worktops and finishes that will not date suit them well. If you are doing up a house here while living elsewhere, call Marius and talk through how it could work.
Kitchens, wardrobes and a proper media wall.
The kitchen is where most people start. Bedrooms and living rooms follow the same measure, design and fit.

Courtmacsherry questions.
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, call Marius — it’s quicker than a form.
Call 085 254 4787Do you cover Courtmacsherry?
Yes. Courtmacsherry, Timoleague and the coast around them are within the area we cover from Skibbereen, which runs across West Cork and into Cork city. Marius comes out for the consultation, measures the room himself, and does the fitting himself when the kitchen is ready.
Can you make a small cottage kitchen feel bigger?
Often, yes. Storage that runs to the ceiling, worktop that continues into the reveal, a light painted colour and fewer wall units at eye level all help. So does honest planning about what actually needs to be in the room. Marius will look at it and tell you what he would do.
The house is only used part of the year. Does that matter?
It changes the timing more than the kitchen. Tell Marius when the house is free and when you want to be back in it, and he will factor that into the timeline that comes with your quote. Plenty of houses along this coast are lived in for part of the year.
How does the free consultation work?
Marius calls to the house at a time that suits, measures the room himself and brings samples of doors and colours. You talk through what you want and he tells you plainly what the room will take. A written, itemised quote follows, with a clear timeline.

Kind words from our customers.
I am delighted with my kitchen. Marius took the small space I had, and rearranged the design of the kitchen to fit the space. It is now a refreshing and contemporary space with tons of storage. His attention to detail is exceptional. 100% recommend.
I needed a press built in where a fridge used to be and it had to look like the rest of the kitchen presses. Marius was so exact and his attention to detail is fantastic. Highly recommend him.
Placed a tricky ‘under-the-stairs’ cupboard with an eye for detail. Great result, we are so happy with it and the loads of storage! Neat on the job, flexible, excellent communication and Marius of ‘Kitchen Hero’ was only happy when the fit and finish were perfect 😃
Marius was a pleasure to deal with, from design ideas all the way up to construction and fitting. He gave us loads of extras, went through all the options and tailored our kitchen to our budget. The quality of his workmanship and his products are out of this world! He lives up to his name as the kitchen hero. Along with all the traditional carpentry/joinery skills he looked after the plumbing and working for the relocation of sinks, switches etc etc. thanks again for making our house a home!
The first visit costs nothing.
