Home from home

My husband and I are just back from a lovely holiday at Rock Cottage. The location is excellent, quiet, beautiful surroundings and ideally situated for exploring west Cork. The cottage was spotless, very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The owners Jackie and Jonathan were extremely welcoming and provided lots of good advice about the surrounding area. We had our two dogs with us. It’s hard to find pet friendly accommodation that is really pet friendly as well as comfortable for the adults. Would definitely love to stay again. Highly recommend Rock Cottage.

A wonderful beautiful place, and wonderful hosts!!

I've stayed with Jackie and Jonathon (and dogs Elsa and Saffron) in their wonderful cozy and comfortable "Rock Cottage" before, and my planning for another trip to West Cork was predicated on finding an available period to stay with them once again in the cottage. I’ve worked and stayed in 69 countries and 50 US states besides Ireland, and I always come back to County Kerry and County Cork for the beauty, tranquility, and wonderful people as exemplified by Jackie and Jonathon. The property is a completely and lovingly refurbished 1826 Georgian hunting lodge where the former courtyard garden stone outbuildings have been preserved on the outside but very well updated on the inside with a full modern kitchen not a galley kitchen, large modern bathroom with lots of hot water, and cozy and comfortable living spaces. Recycling is well setup and encouraged, and there is even an electrical charging facility for EV cars. The extensive grounds are flower filled and immaculate with horses, donkeys, chickens and geese (and the occasional neighborhood sheep eating Jackie’s flowers). I loved spoiling the donkey and the horses with fresh carrots in the mornings. Driving up the long country lane driveway you feel yourself relaxing, and then the blond sisters Elsa and Saffron come running up to greet you and get some love and scratches, and then Jackie comes strolling over with a huge smile and greeting, and cookies, flowers and fresh eggs. You will not go wrong staying with my friends!!

Great Irish Getaway

The property is as beautiful as the pictures. Everything was clean, tidy, and ready for our stay. Jackie & Jonathan are very friendly, helpful, and attentive hosts. With the main house, just across the lawn and car park, they were always available when needed. We had a wonderful stay and would like to return, because it was such a positive experience!

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline Sarsfield

I am a fun loving individual who loves travelling and meeting new people. My particular passion are the animals here at Rock Cottage and the beautiful unspoilt landscape. My interests are walking, photography & cooking. I love to go walking around this part of Ireland and exploring all the beautiful sites. My passion is to go to the local farmers' markets and cook with locally grown produce.

Why they chose this property

I spent much of my childhood here in Ireland having been born in Dublin. I moved full time to Ireland in 2014 from London.

What makes this property unique

Having rented Rock Cottage for over a year, I decided to purchase this beautiful place and continue with this well established holiday accommodation business. The gardens, paddocks and surrounding hillsides are stunning, particularly the 360 degree view from the top of the garden overlooking Dunmanus Bay, The Sheeps Head and on the other side the hills and Mt Gabriel.
