A fantastic place to stay in a really great part of west cork. The house is perfectly situated with a couple of minutes walk down to the beach for swims on a private path. It’s quiet and secure and has its own sauna with a great view. Highly recommend!!

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,

It was beautiful and we really enjoyed how private it was but how quickly we could drive to Clonakilty!

We had a lovely staying at graces house. Very peaceful and quiet house. Great location alot of things to do in the local area and beyond. House had everything we could need and more. House was very spacious and great for just the 2 of us. The local produce such as milk, ice cream &scones etc was such a nice touch and of course were delicious. Nice to have access to a hot tub whenever we wanted and hot tub was fired up and waiting for our arrival as well as logs to top up if needed.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Absolutely gorgeous place. Really quiet and peaceful.

Gérards place is a must-stay if staying in Clonakilty. We swam every day in the heated pool, played tennis in the afternoon in their private tennis court and walked the local area as well. Stunning grounds to walk as well around the property. 100% would stay again Thank you Connor

Katarina's quirky cabin was exactly what we were looking for in our visit to SW Ireland. It was private and beautiful. Katarina is a simply lovely hostess with great recommendations. loved our stay at her place.

Eileen's house provided a truly comfortable and welcoming base to explore the amazing Beara Peninsula. The property was just as described and depicted -- including the amenities and gorgeous views that match the photos but have to be seen to be appreciated. The house itself is spotless, has a great walk-in shower and modern appliances including a washer and dryer. Eileen herself is part of the house's charm -- she went out of her way to walk us through it and then took more time to introduce us to all the many natural highlights of the peninsula, from hiking trails to a ferry ride to drives that reveal one grand vista after another. And it's all far less crowded than other Wild Atlantic Way destinations we've been to. Eileen responded quickly to questions and was a cheerful delight. She knows the area inside out and is glad to share tips with guests. It's simply a great location to visit and this is a wonderful place to stay.

We used Mary’s Cottage as our starting point for the Ring of Kerry. It was a nice place to stay with easy parking and a fully equipped kitchen.

Rose cottage is designed really well, combines an architectural sympathy with the surrounding landscape whilst the simplicity of the uncluttered interior make for very comfortable living.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Snug. It’s in a beautiful location and being blessed with good weather meant we got to sit outside in the evenings and enjoy the views and garden (as well as visits from Frances’s lovely dog Bear!) The place is really welcoming, the bed was so comfy and there are lovely organic toiletries in the bathroom. It was just so nice to kick back and relax. Frances was also really friendly and so helpful. She gave us some great suggestions of places to visit. We especially loved Barley Cove! I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book here again when staying near Cork. The place is an absolute delight.

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

What a wonderful stay on the edge of a gorgeous working farm! We arrived to scones, jam and butter set out on the kitchen table. The house is large compared to every other Irish stay we enjoyed. Six people could definitely stay here with ease. There's a full kitchen and two baths. Moreover, there's Jenny the Donkey out front and Polly Puxley the cat at the backdoor. Please bring carrots for Jenny and treats for the relentless but fabulous Polly. We fed them with the permission of our lovely host Mairead, who came by to meet us and who was very welcoming. Don't miss a long walk along the farm where you can greet sheep and another donkey. The surrounding area is breathtaking!

The most beautiful place and the most accommodating host we have stayed with in Ireland or the UK. They went the extra mile with small gestures to make us feel welcome. Can’t recommend highly enough.

If you want a quiet place and close to the ocean, this is it. A pleasant drive to Killorghlin for shops and pubs. We stayed 5 nights. It was restful. Anne greeted us when we arrived and when we left. A lovely graceful lady

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! :)

We loved our stay at Paddy and Riona’s place! Very cute and cozy loft with a lovely backyard area! The apartment was well equipped for cooking - had all the bits you could need. Had the best time, thank you!

This location was gorgeous - the hike to the gap and up the mountain was breathtaking and you’re surrounded by cart horses on the fields around the house. To the right, there was a breakfast location and pub/restaurant with live music so we didn’t need to drive anywhere. The mattresses/pillows were not very comfortable but the location made up for it.

We had a really lovely week in John & Eileen's beautiful, cosy cottage. It is wonderfully located close to all the amenities of Killarney and yet also in a peaceful country setting. The cottage is exactly as shown in the photos with the added bonus of a working fireplace which was a real treat to use each night. Eileen looked after us perfectly making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Overall we are very happy to recommend John and Eileen and their beautiful cottage to anyone.

The Green Door Cottage was just as expected, clean and comfortable plus close to the downtown area of shops and pubs. There are many things to do at nearby Killarney National Park, as well as day trips to Cork, Kinsale, and the Dingle Peninsula. We wish that we could have had more time in the area! Tony and Sinead are extremely responsive to any message. We would definitely recommend staying at the Green Door Cottage🤗

Trudi’s place is comfortable and in a central location that is easily walkable to everything in the town of Kenmare.

We had a wonderful stay at Ur's House! The location is incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. From the moment we arrived, Urs was warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable and at home. Lounging on the couch in front of the stove with a DVD playing was just amazing. The house itself was spotless—neat, tidy, and very well-maintained. Everything we could possibly need was readily available, from kitchen essentials to thoughtful touches that made the stay even more enjoyable. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a space that is both functional and inviting. Having no wifi and limited mobile reception enhanced the experience. I would highly recommend Ur's House to anyone looking for a serene getaway with exceptional hospitality. Thank you for such a memorable experience!
