Wonderful!

We absolutely love this place! We stayed here last year and we had such a perfect time that we returned again this year. This house has every possible thing you would need. It is clean, comfy and the view is spectacular. Communication with the owner was easy and any questions we had were promptly answered. Also enjoyed talking with Angela again! The peace and quiet was just what we wanted. We will be returning yet again as this place is so close to our hearts!

Loved our stay in Clonakilty

Had an amazing stay at our property on the coast. Spectacular views, gourmet equipped kitchen, everything you needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Able to easily reach out to our host Doris who was quick to respond. The house was energy efficient and stayed temperate.

Truly a very special place

As advertised, this property was very close to the sea with most stunning views from the massive sliding lounge doors. The house is calm and quiet and is comfortably furnished. Its eco-friendly credentials are amazing. Housekeeper Angela welcomed us to the property and answered any questions promptly. We had 6 lovely days there which included a visit to Cork and numerous visits to beautiful Clonakilty.

So tranquil

House was fabulous, the view and the sound of the sea was just what we needed after a long journey. The heating was a bit fiddly but Doris was quick to sort out. Would highly recommend Mizen Head and a visit to Inchydoney beach . SuperValu store was fabulous . Lots of fresh bread and food.

Peaceful and restorative stay

My parents, me and a sister recently stayed for a week at this beautiful seaside home. The house is absolutely as advertised, is very comfortable and clean and we loved every minute of it. Doris is efficient and responsive with her communications. Angela, who keeps the place clean, is a great source of local knowledge and an absolute gem. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to others. I didn't want to leave!

Beautiful, clean, sea-side getaway

The property was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with the beds/pillows being the best we have ever had on a vacation. The only thing that could have been better would be directions for the clothes dryer -- everything seemed to be in German on the dryer and we could not understand it. Other than that everything was perfect!
