Comfortable apartment with a spacious living area and spectacular views of the bay. Great location from which to explore all the village has to offer. Would definitely stay there again.

Phenomenal apartment and location for a trip to East Cork.
The apartment was exceptional. It had a phenomenal view of the sea. It was spacious and very well serviced. The location was fantastic. Great places to eat within walking distance. It was an excellent place to tour east cork and Waterford - including FOTA wildlife park, Titanic Experience, Cobh, Youghal, Garryvoe. It is also only hour and half from Killarney. Will definitely go again.

Very comfortable, relaxing, better than we expected.
The apartment was very spacious, very comfortable and very clean. Martin was our host and nothing was too much trouble for him. The location was spectacular with a balcony of the lounge looking out to sea, which was only about 50 metres away. Would not hesitate to book this apartment again.
There was nothing we did not like.
The location of the property is very close to the sea, beaches and cliffs, the quiet area you can feel and smell the sea air from the apartment. The balcony was my favourite place to chill and watch the sea. Loved everything about the place and location of the apartment. Has been an absolute therapy to get away from the hassle and stress of living in the city.

Would love to go back when weather improves
I was a little confused by the heating, but thats my own fault. The shower head needs replacement, a slightly meager stream of water from it.

Hi Anne
Many thanks for your great review of No.6 Ballycotton Holiday Apartment, Co. Cork.
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your business and comments.
We hope to welcome you again to Trident Holiday Homes.
Apartment is spacious, clean & tidy and very well equipped (the towel rads in the bathrooms can be heated even when central heating is off!).
There is off road parking and a fantastic view over the bay (subject to Irish weather).
3 pubs within 100m, 2 of which serve food and on the other side of the bay there is a fantastic beach. Roads in and out of the village are good, there is lots to do nearby and Cork is not far away and the Atlantic coast easily accessible beyond that. Only downside is that there is no village shop. Note this is an upstairs flat, not a problem for us, but not suitable for everyone.
Highly recommended.

What a great place!
The location was wonderful, although a bit out of the way. The Ballycotton hiking trail is about a mile up the road, and absolutely stunning! Ocean views from the kitchen and living room at the apartment were gorgeous. Kitchen was very functional. Lots of bar activity surrounding from Thursday thru Sunday.
The road into Ballycotton is narrow with no shoulder, occasional cyclists and walkers, and I think speed limit too high for safety. So if you are a new left side driver, beware. The apartment is not luxurious, so if you're looking for high end and perfectly groomed facilities it may not suit you. It was great for us. Also, very few, if any of the pubs and other venues were open between Monday and Thursday, and the only place near to buy supplies is a gas station a few miles away.

Schöner Ausblick
Mein Mann und ich sind mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln angereist. Das war möglich, aber langwierig. Es fährt ein Bus nach Ballycotton, aber nur zweimal am Tag. Da der Ort kein Lebensmittelgeschäft hat, ist es mühsam einzukaufen. Entweder man fährt in die nächste Stadt Midleton und kann aber erst nach 5 Stunden zurück oder man läuft zu einer 4 km weit entfernten Tankstelle über Straße mit regem Autoverkehr. In Ballycotton gibt es gute Möglichkeiten essen zu gehen und am Wochenende gibt es Live-Musik. Der Blick über das Meer, besonders am Cliff-Walk ist traumhaft. Die Unterkunft ist geräumig und auch 4-5 Personen kommen gut unter. Sie bräuchte allerdings eine gründliche Reinigung und die vielen Reste in den Schränke gehören rausgeräumt. Die Menschen sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Mit dem Auto kann man sich die schönen Hafenstädtchen in der Nähe ansehen und schönen Strandspaziergänge machen. Zum Baden war es bei uns noch zu kalt. Es gibt aber Möglichkeiten, um im Meer zu schwimmen. Mit Kindern muss man zum nächsten Strand ca. 7 km entfernt fahren. Auto fahren beim Linksverkehr und sehr unübersichtlichen, engen Straßen muss man sich zutrauen. Es gibt viel Verkehr, aber die Autofahrer sind rücksichtsvoller als in Deutschland.

Rest and relaxation
We found the apartment very well equipped for self catering, it was very comfortable for those days when you just want to just veg out and the location is perfect, restaurants and pubs are literally a few minutes walk.
