Ballylickey cottage

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

Lovely Cottage and surroundings

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.

Lots of space

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!

Calm an lovely cottage

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.
