Cottage vacation rentals in Goleen

It’s hard to even describe the beauty of this place, the cottage was perfect and the amenities are wonderful, everything you need to have a great time. The grounds are truly breathtaking, there is a real magic about this property, loved every minute. Gerard and Ann were excellent hosts, thank you!

My family stayed at Esther's place for 4 nights. We had the most wonderful time! The house has beautiful views of the ocean and is a short walk from both Inchydoney beach and the hotel. The house was clean and spacious with room for the whole family including our dog. Esther was welcoming and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area. We would definitely recommend Esther's place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the beach!

Had a lovely few days away staying in Kate's accommodation. She was very helpful and great to deal with. The accommodation was perfect for a quiet getaway and met all of our needs, would recommend to a friend.

I could not recommend a stay at these poolside cottages enough! Great value for money. Ideal for a romantic short break away. The location is perfect and the cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The nearby town Clonakilty is worth a trip to and is easily accessible by car or taxi,

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

Didn’t want to leave ☺️

Gerard was a lovely host. Beautiful grounds, would definitely stay here again. Very peaceful and very clean. Hot tub and sauna are a lovely addition to this already stunning airbnb.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Tom & Judy's Beautiful home , spacious , relaxing , fantastic views which included grazing deetlrs in the front garden and foxes , rabbits , hares and a multi dude of birds to watch every evening . On arrival we were treated to home baked tarts and cakes in the fridge ( which were delicious) , treats left for the pup , clear instructions of how to use everything in the house and Tom had no bother answering us straight away via text when I was enquiring about something in particular . Just a 5 minute drive from bustling Kenmare and you are not far in any direction from some spectacular drives , we would highly recommend staying at Tom & Judys place , it is out of this world , thanks so much again , Mick & Irene .

Eileen and Robert were perfect hosts. They could not have been more helpful and the cottage was spotlessly clean. The location was as excellent for touring and our hosts had given us excellent advise of where to visit. This was our first Air B@B and everything was perfect. We will definitely be going back in the future.

Had such a great time staying at the snug! The property was so cozy, perfect for a staycation around west cork! Very close to Clonakilty, which has everything you need! Frances was super friendly and helpful, would definitely be back🥰

We stayed in Ritchie’s cottage for 3 nights with a dog and a toddler. Ritchie was very friendly and helpful. The cottage had everything we needed and the surrounding area was so beautiful. Thank you Ritchie for your hospitality!

Annette was a great host from start to finish. Very responsive, attentive, and a very friendly person in general! A welcome hamper for the first breakfast was there for us when we arrived, which was a lovely touch! The house was as described, very clean and cosy, and an excellent launch pad for travelling around the county. Has all the utensils you need for cooking too, which we made good use of. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants something private, has dogs, and wants to see the local sites. Thanks again, Annette!!!

Fabulous location and the cottage so cosy. Helen was a wonderful host.

Colette’s place is stunning and was probably the nicest place we stayed in during our trip. The amenities were amazing and it was well stocked with everything you needed. The attention to detail was on-point. Colette brought fresh baked scones for breakfast- still hot out of the oven and the fresh eggs were amazing. Finding the place was a little challenging, but Colette responded in minutes to meet us and offer assistance. The real downside was finding out we were a week early for the hot tub room opening!! The live stock right outside the door was very cool for my daughter and added to the homey feeling!! Highly recommend!!

Thanks Mag and Eugene for a lovely stay. Lovely surroundings and views, birds, reindeer, sheep and doggies. Very comfortable, cosy and peaceful. Hopefully we can visit again soon.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hanna's Cottage. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The furniture and all the little touches really create an atmosphere, we found we did not want to leave and just enjoyed watching the view and the boats on the water. The cottage is beautiful and warm and cosy. We went for a lot of walks in the area, its really beautiful there and a lot of nice places to visit. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake! :)

Absolutely loved staying at Karin's place! The attention to detail was truly impressive - from the thoughtful welcome treats to the carefully curated amenities, it was clear that Karin had put a lot of love and care into creating a special experience for guests. The space itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. Karin was also super responsive and accommodating, making the whole stay feel seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay - thanks Karin for a wonderful experience!

What a fantastic spacious property and beautiful location. We had everything we needed for our 4 night stay, including the best weather. Catherine and Michael were very welcoming and it was lovely to share a bit of banter with Michael!

The shed is truly such a gem, likely our favorite stop on our Ireland road trip! Riona and Paddy are wonderful hosts. Their space is thoughtful, inviting, and cozy. The bed was very comfortable! We cannot recommend it enough. Stay here if you get the chance.

Stunning setting and ideal accommodation overlooking the mountains and adjacent Killarney National Park. Could not have asked for a better hostess in Eileen, who was always helpful and friendly and who pointed us in all the right directions for a perfect holiday. Throw in three gentle pet donkeys and a farm cat, who could ask for more? Bliss!

A lovely peaceful part of the world. A quiet retreat surrounded by nature to unplug and switch off. John was a great host and very easy to communicate with.

Our stay at Maureen’s place was truly unforgettable. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it’s clear she puts incredible care into every detail. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a fairytale . The home’s unique gothic architecture and character created such a magical atmosphere. The bathroom was beautifully decorated. Easily the nicest I’ve ever seen, and the tub was absolutely dreamy. Maureen even surprised us with an extra room, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed (and more), which made our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. She even ensured our 5 month old son had everything he needed! While the location might seem a bit off the beaten path, it turned out to be the perfect home base. The peace, charm, and thoughtful touches more than made up for the extra drive. I would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend this stunning space to anyone looking for a special getaway.

Kelly was a fabulous host. Setting was exquisite for the adventurous at heart. Great location as a home base for exploring the southwest coast of Ireland.
