We arrived to find a welcoming fire in the woodburning stove and a lovely country setting. The kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms had basic toiletries. Property has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs and 1 bedroom plus 1 1/2 baths downstairs.We did not have cell service but wifi was fast. The owners were very kind. If ever in the area again we would not hesitate to stay here.
This was a very pleasant property for a relaxing country stay and easy access to local amenities in Bantry. There were only three of us so it felt spacious with ample bedrooms and bathrooms that would accommodate six. The kitchen was well equipped. There was a lovely view and a nice enclosed wood burning fireplace. We would definitely come again!

Loved this cottage, very cosy, comfortable & well equipped. It had everything we needed, the fire was lit before we arrived. The hosts were very friendly & accommodating. We’d love to re visit x
Had a Fabulous holiday at this property. Ideal location for peace and quiet as well as a launch pad to tour the south West coast. Highly recommend this property - ideal for dogs
This cottage is a wonderful place to stay and an excellent base for exploring West Cork. Although there were only two of us, it would easily and comfortably accommodate up to six people. Kathleen is a warm and welcoming host, and the cottage felt cosy from the moment we arrived. Visiting in December, we were greeted by a warm living room, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree creating a festive atmosphere, and a lit fireplace that made the space especially inviting. Very “hygge,” as we say in Denmark. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone.
Secluded and yet within ten minutes of town and Bantry Bay. Well equipped and comfortable property. Great base to travel from. Property owners very helpful if needed.
Loved that it was located in country and how peaceful and relaxing it was. Definitely need a car. Had beautiful sunrises and listening to birds as drinking morning coffee. We even had the local cows and cats come visit us! The hosts responded quickly when needed. Overall this was a great place for my spouse and I to celebrate our 25th anniversary while enjoying Ireland with our friends!
The dog loved it ,had chats with other dogs neighbouring in houses around , met a few friendly cows in the neighbouring field fascinatedwith them , space for him to run around the drive.Adults had a quite relaxing stay , alot of places to go ... recommend " The Priest Leap, bring a parachute, not for the faint hearted , but some views back onto Bantry and the many peninsulas, Also Caha Pass to Kenmare views.People of west Cork / East Kerry very welcoming.Host exceptional
Great time spent in this idyllic cottage with country views and comfort! Well equipped kitchen with everything one. Would hope for and more! Thank you Kathleen and jack
We had a lovely time at the cottage. Jack was very friendly and had left us some wood for the fireplace. All in all we had a very nice stay.
The only critics we have is that the place has not been cleaned very well and the carpets in the bedrooms need to be changed.
Lovely cottage in rural setting, quiet and comfortable. Has everything you need for your self catering needs. Great location with easy access to Bantry Bay and the beautiful coastline of County Cork and Kerry. Sat nav took us to a location 2 kilometres away but found it easily with the help of neighbours and prompt texts from the hosts.
Hosted by the loveliest people, we adored our stay here. We loved the big, comfy couches to sit around the fire on in the evening, a large gravel driveway for the kids to play ball on, three toilets to make bathroom sharing easier in a family of 5 and wifi and lots of TV stations to pick from. Our hosts put the picnic table out when the weather got warm and stopped by to see us on our way and really made us feel like part of the family!
This cozy old farm cottage was just what we were looking for. Lots of character with the 18” thick walls & fun window seats. The location was perfect with beautiful views & very quiet. Easily accessible to Bantry, Glengariff. We enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings. . There is plenty of room for a larger family. The barbecue grill was unusable & we needed to supply our own soap & shampoo, this is not a complaint just a heads up
We had a nice stay jn a lovely cottage fitting perfectly into the area. Our hosts had already welcomed us with a fire in the fireplace. It is a very quiet area, perfect for relaxing. Thanks to the spacious outdoor area, the children were able to play freely outside. The house is a bit older and the wooden floors are thin on the wall, but we expected that and it didn't really bother us.
We enjoyed our stay.
As a VRBO Host and an owner of a guest house I can sometimes have my expectations not met. I had the pleasure of staying for 3 weeks at the cottage. its well equipped with anything you might need for a relaxing holiday. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, fireplace, salon and a real working kitchen with most everything you need. close enough to the pub and food shop but far enough away to feel isolated. It a real Irish home with out the bells and whistles you might get at a more modern/commercial property. Kathleen and Jack are great hosts, they are less than 1 k away… good communication and very friendly.
The cottage was clean and comfortable and in a quiet rural location. It was a great place to relax after a full day of sightseeing or when we just needed some downtime. The host is excellent and answered questions promptly. We will definitely stay here again if we ever have the opportunity to come back!
Everything was lovely, had a great time in this cozy house. Jack came by twice, very nice man :). Just a great place to be. Thank you Jack and Kathleen. Cheers from Daniel
