  Superb This was a late booking to visit family in the local area.

  The pictures do not do this lovely cottage justice. There are three large bedrooms (very comfy) and a fantastic bathroom upstairs, loads of hanging and storage areas in the rooms and in the under eaves areas. The open plan kitchen/diner and lounge is both large and comfortable. The kitchen includes everything you will need, modern, loads of worktop for the keen chefs out there, large fridge and completely separate freezer. Separate utility area houses the washing machine and leads to a very large second bathroom with walk in shower/wet room and toilet. Outside there is plenty of space for chilling out with rattan style furniture and benches and a large covered area at the rear of the cottage for washing (i left my bike under there). Wifi was good speed which was a bonus as I had to work remotely whilst there. To enter the property there is an electronic gate and gravel drive which all felt grand. We spent a week here and Claire was available to help with any queries but otherwise left us to do our own thing. I can honestly say that we would go back tomorrow if we could, great location for exploring the area, close to Bantry for shops, petrol etc. You will not be disappointed

  We had a lovely stay at Sunset View - which was very aptly named - beautiful sunsets every evening from the large, well-kept garden.

  Kathleen & Tom provided a much-appreciated Welcome Pack which included cereal, apple tart, bread, butter, etc. They were on hand if we needed anything and were very helpful & friendly. The cottage had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, well-kept and roomy. There was ample off-road parking. The area itself was very peaceful. It was a good location for a base and while we ventured out each day - to Galway City, Fr Ted's at Cloon, Maumturk Mts, Cong, Silverstrand (lovely beach), Roscommon ... Kathleen and Tom did tell us about the nearby 'hidden bridge trail' at Glinsk which was beautiful. Thankfully Kathleen provided the Eire Code for us prior to our visit, as the map on the website showed the cottage in the wrong place (we did mention this to Kathleen). The garden was great for my dog Ben to roam safely in. He was comfortable being there and even went uninvited into Tom & Kathleen's house to see them - they were very good about that! Sunset View was a lovely place to stay. Kathleen and Tom were very thoughtful & kind - such lovely people. Thank you. Linda, Carol, Anne & Ben the dog.

  We had a lovely week at Rock Lawn Cottage in August 2020.

  This place was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. It is situated in a lovely quiet location, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could need for a week away with the kids. If you want to eat in, there is a good choice of supermarkets, bakery's within the town. But there are plenty of good restaurants and takeaways to choose from too. We were blessed with amazing weather, however there is lots to do even if the weather is good or bad. Bantry is perfectly situated for exploring further on down the peninsula's with Barley cove, Mizen head, ring of Kerry and Dingle approximatly 1-1.5 hours drive either way. The drive passes by so quickly as there is so much beautiful scenery to take in. There is lots of areas to explore, national parks, pony trekking, kayaking and boat trips to name a few. Even with Covid restrictions, there was still plenty of safe places to go. We would definitely come back here again.

  We were most impressed by the commitment to our comfort and enjoyment at Sykes Cottage.

  The cottage was bigger than we expected, spotlessly clean, with very comfortable furniture, beds, bedlinen. Everything they could think of for us was included and there was such a warm welcome. We appreciated the pack with details of local areas of interest for visits, hikes, meals and information on local doctors, dentists etc should the need arise. We have rented holiday homes both in Ireland and abroad for many years and this was the best experience we have had to date. Guests know when their hosts have their best interests at heart and when this is sensed, it adds to the enjoyment of the stay. Having the proprietor on site was great. We had a friendly neighbour, who did not intrude on our privacy, but was eager to help us with directions and local information whenever needed. Honestly couldn't recommend this cottage/ spacious house more! We will definitely be back.

  A beautiful conversion of several really old cottages.

  Spacious and airy, maintaining lots of atmosphere from its past history. A very quiet location with no farm noise above normal and nopassing traffic. Wonderful night skies free of light pollution.The woodburner and fireplace were very welcoming on cool evenings. Sadly it has suffered from lack of maitamance to the property, especially outside. The en-suite shower room was unusable due to a previous mis-hap causing quite bad water damage, but the large bath in the bathroom was wonderful. Many light bulbs didn't work and the house had a feeling of neglect and the need for t.l.c. It was a shame, because we felt very at home there.
