Special location with a great view

We had very nice days there by the sea with a direct view of the Skellig Islands. The house is in a really fantastic location and has its own charm there above the rocky coast. You can also start some hikes directly from the house.

As beautiful as it looks!

It really was magical to stay there. Given the spectacular view we enjoyed every morning simply eating breakfast, we thought it couldn't get any more beautiful anywhere else in Ireland. And we were basically right! Some wonderful towns and sights on the Ring of Kerry are nearby -- I recommend Sneem, in particular -- but the real joy is simply spending a day at the house, enjoying the view and going on look hikes. I do want to point out, though, that listing the property as a 3-bedroom property is misleading. The third "bedroom" is actually a double bed situated on the landing between the two bedrooms. It worked out for us, but for those who seeking three private bedrooms, this is not the right property.

Sehr schöner Urlaubsort

Das Haus ist wirklich toll. Die Lage ist super. Die Aussicht und die Ruhe sind einmalig schön. Der Anfahrtsweg ist etwas abenteuerlich, da die Straßen so eng sind. Leider hat es im Haus muffig gerochen und die Einrichtung ist etwas zu sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Spinnweben und Schimmel waren dezent vorhanden.

Liebenswertes altes Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche. Trotz schlechtem und kaltem Wetter haben wir die Zeit durch das knisternde Feuer vor dem schönen alten Kamin genossen. Wer alte Häuser mit viel Charme aber einigen Unzulänglichkeiten mag, ist hier genau richtig. Die Internetseite ist nicht ganz korrekt. WLAN ist absolut kein Problem. Die Netzanbindung ist ebenso unproblematisch. Eine Feuerstelle außen ist ebenso wie Liegestühle leider nicht vorhanden. Es gibt normale Gartenstühle. Für alle, die Einsamkeit, Ruhe, viel Platz und eine atemberaubende Natur suchen, können das Haus sehr empfehlen. Es empfiehlt sich das Mitbringen von Lebensmitteln und Brennmaterial für den Kamin.

Anders als erwartet

Leider sind wir etwas enttäuscht von dem Objekt gewesen. Unschlagbar ist und bleibt der Ausblick. Es ist uns auch bewusst gewesen, dass es sich um ein altes Haus handelt, jedoch ist die Sanierung gefühlt 20 Jahre her, warum kein Bild von den Bädern drin ist, ist selbsterklärend. Das Haus ist schlicht und einfach abgewohnt. Die Couch und Sessel haben Löcher haben und sind so durchgesessen das da mal etwas erneuert werden müsste. Ich kann auch nicht nachvollziehen was an diesem Haus kinderfreundlich ist. Auch mit dem Heizkosten kann ich mich nur dem einen Kommentar hier anschließen, wir haben 30€ bezahlt für 5 Tage. Sicherlich für das Wetter kann keiner was und es ist ärgerlich das man im Sommer heizen muss aber durch den kalten Wind und die nicht vorhandene Isolierung des Hauses war das heizen unumgänglich. Die hohen Preise kann man auch nicht nur auf die Energiekrise schieben. Die Aussicht ist sicherlich unschlagbar und man ist wirklich so weit ab vom Schuss - das man seine Ruhe hat, aber man müsste in der Beschreibung schon angeben das man locker eine halbe Stunde zum nächsten Lebensmittelgeschäft braucht. Wanderwege sind auch toll aber der Zustand des Hauses hat nicht überzeugt. Schade, könnte eine richtige Perle sein.

Skellig View

Wir hatten das Glück 14 wundervolle Tage im Cottage verbringen zu dürfen. Wie schon von den anderen beschrieben, ließ das Cottage keine Wünsche offen, wir haben uns rund herum wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist einfach nicht zu toppen, ich konnte gar nicht genug bekommen von der Aussicht. Die erste Woche sind wir nur gewandert, auch hier, das Cottage ist einfach perfekt, wunderschöne Wanderrouten gleich anbei. Was sollen wir noch sagen? Wir möchten sehr gern noch einmal wieder kommen. Irland ist (für uns) das schönste Land, die Ballinskelligs ein weiteres Stückchen, das wir in unser Herz geschlossen haben.

Traumhaus

Das Haus ist perfekt. Ich war 2,5 Wochen allein dort, es hatte die ideale Größe an der idealen Lage. Ein schöner Wanderweg liegt direkt am Haus. Freier Blick aufs Meer, die Küste, Schafweiden. Ich war im Februar da, da war es recht kalt, im Sommer, wenn man auf der Terrasse sitzen und den Sonnenuntergang beobachten kann, muss es sogar noch besser sein.

Mehr davon :-)

Ich schließe mich den anderen Rezensenten an: einfach wunderbar. Lage und Ausblick sind einfach fantastisch - und weit entfernt von Hektik und Trubel. Die Ruhe ist ein Genuss. Tipps für die Anreise: (1) Einkaufen nicht vergessen (Supermärkte in Cahersiveen mit dem Auto knapp eine halbe Stunde entfernt) - (2) für den Mietwagen sollte man entscheiden, wo man den Platz haben will (innen oder außen), die Straßen sind oft sehr schmal ;-)

Schitterend gelegen!

We genoten van de vele mogelijkheden om een (lange) wandeling te maken. We moesten wel vaak een eind rijden naar het startpunt, maar dan ontdekten we onderweg wel weer andere dingen...Portmagee vonden we een erg leuk plaatsje, waar we ook een keer dineerden onder het genot van live music (wel op tijd reserveren). In de erker van 't huis zagen we steeds mooie luchten, golven, vele soorten vogels plus natuurlijk koeien, schapen, konijnen en hazen.

Photos don't do it justice

This house by the sea met all our high expectations. We were looking for a good place to rest and recover.This is a great option if you want to get away from it all. We spent a lot of time in the sun room with that terrific view. Location: 5 stars. The Sea! Absolutely phenomenal view of the Atlantic and the Skellig islands.The photos don't do it justice. Remote, pastoral setting with cows and sheep surrounding you. Be sure to do the Skellig Loop hike. It's incredible and almost feels private. Charm: 5 stars. Amenities: 4 stars. Fireplace was a big plus for us. Washing machine and line drying. Good shower! Comfort: 4 stars. Great balance between an old traditional Irish farmhouse and fairly modern amenities. A cozy fire in the fireplace and a great view of the ocean is hard to beat. Beds and bedding were adequate. I am not a picky sleeper. The mattress and pillow might be an issue for some. Value: 5 stars I thought it was an excellent value. Overall we paid about $600 Euro for 4 nights for two couples. Access: 4 stars. Very remote and a good respite from the city. Hard to find with the directions provided. Use the GPS code! Some minor drawbacks: - Smell of fuel oil from the furnace was strong at first. It helped to keep the doors closed and the windows open in the bathroom/laundry/furnace room. - Separate cleaning, fuel, and electricity costs must be paid in cash. Perhaps that's normal in Ireland?

Unbeatable view

We enjoyed our stay at this very charming property. Deirdre was very prompt in answering any questions we had. An initial issue with the heater was thankfully fixed on the following day. If you have the courage to brave the narrow road leading to this house, the view of the bay and the skelligs as well as the starlit nights will more than make up for the way.

Fantastic, private getaway with gorgeous views of the Atlantic!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cottage on the cliff!!! My friend and I were looking for a remote cottage on the Kerry coast with cows, sheep, views, quite, peat fires for complete relaxation… and did this property deliver! The photos and description on vrbo are exactly what you get!!! It’s a scary drive on the one lane road to get to the cottage but… after a day or two… the driving became easier (for us Americans)…… We will absolutely stay at this cottage again!!!

Besondere Erfahrung in herausragender Lage

Man muss sich schon ein wenig auf das Leben abseits der städtischen Infrastruktur einlassen und wissen, dass das Haus bereits seit über 100 Jahren dem Meer und dem Wind trotzt, dann bekommt man ein unvergessliches Erlebnis in herausragender Lage, wie es nur selten zu finden ist. Alles Notwendige ist vorhanden und die umgebende Landschaft ist einfach nur bewegend schön. Ein paar Tipps für den Winter: ca. 50 Euro/Tag für Heizung und Strom einrechnen, Brennmaterial für den Kamin mitbringen, warme Hausschuhe nicht vergessen, wenn vorher niemand im Haus war, braucht es ca. 24 Stunden, bis die dicken Wände aufgewärmt sind, dann wird es aber angenehm (von Seiten der Vermieter wäre es hier zuvorkommend, wenn die Heizung ggf. bereits einen Tag vor Anreise eingeschaltet werden könnte).

Unbeatable location - disappointing property

Absolutely stunning location, however the interior of the cottage is very dated and uncomfortable, for example the sofa is old and really needs replacing. The bathrooms are very basic and both toilet seats were broken. The interior is generally tired and well worn. You are also required to strip the bed linen yourself and dispose of garbage in a village some miles away, despite the provided ‘cleaning service’. We were very disappointed and would not stay at this property again.
