This is a lovely, spacious, well-equipped house. Sitting outside in the sun looking out over the water was blissful. When it rained we sat on the stoop fully sheltered. It is exceptionally private (probably 500m from the road - down a windy, forest road - really lovely). The kitchen has everything you could need. The only toilet downstairs is the en-suite for the 1 downstairs bedroom - this wasn't a problem for us & there is a separate apartment on the ground floor as well. We used the games room & kayaked from the small jetty. Beds were v v comfortable and bed linen was spotless. Highly recommend the house.

I have discovered my new favorite place on earth! Our group was a three generation family ages 23-83 and we thoroughly enjoyed this house and property. We hiked, swam, discovered plant and animal life, a cemetery, out door buildings, and more. A family of swans hung out in the cove, an otter visited morning and night and we even had three dolphin swim by! The immaculate house had room for all nine of us to sleep, bathe, play, relax and eat at one table together. We highly recommend

Property Review

Mary was very helpful and made our stay very comfortable. She went out of her way to sort minor issues that arose during our stay. The property had a brilliant location and was well catered. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Stunning property

We had a wonderful stay at Ardnagashel! Mary was a joy to deal with and made our stay extremely comfortable. The property itself was clean, inviting and spacious for our family. The location is phenomenal. Sitting outside by the ocean was magical. Gorgeous Glengarriff was 2 mins away by car and offered delicious locally sourced seafood. We highly recommend a stay at this property. We will certainly be booking back in.

Ireland is magical

Mary was a wonderful host. The house was perfect and I love that we all fit around the table. The driveway to the house is long. Our 32 passenger coach was not able to make it all the way down the road, therefore we got to do beautiful hikes each time we left. We would highly recommend this location for your stay.

Lovely Time by the Sea

We had a lovely family reunion with our kids/spouses! The home provided tons of sitting areas, excellent dining room, hot water for showers! Just wonderful. Our host provided immediate answers to questions and helpful ideas about outings. Helpful hints might include more hooks for bathroom towels and more outdoor seating on front porch overlooking sea.

Simply beautiful. We loved every minute. The house is awe inspiring. Deer at dawn, Moonlight on the sea in front of the house at night.. If you are not "4 in a bed obsessed" this house is perfect. Its away from the crowded roads, Mary the house manager, available 24/7. As a group or 8 we loved it!! So specious so your not bumping into each other! LOVED the separate TV room allowing perfect conversation in the main room!!

Interesting property!

Interesting sprawling property with the house right on the water, with close distance to a couple of small towns for necessities. Come prepared for the cold and rain especially if visiting in the fall/winter. Heat is on a 2 hour timer, and keeping a fire going during the day and evening helps keep things warm. Mary was a very responsive and gracious host.

Fantastic family get away

The accommodation was perfect for our large family group, with all the bedrooms in use. Lots of well stocked presses in the kitchen, heaps of glasses, crockery etc. and the two dishwashers got plenty of use. The weather wasn't kind to us during our stay and the kids made great use of the games room and the TV/ library. The large sitting room was perfect for cosy chats around the roaring fire. Bandon and Glengariff are within easy reach ad we all enjoyed our trip to Garnish Island. We are all looking forward to doing it again sometime.

Wonderful

Ardnagashel was just beautiful. The house was stunning. Really clean and lots of room for everyone. The view was spectacular. It was a great location for day trips to Kerry and Cork. We stayed local on our last day and visited glengarriff nature reserve. Then visited bantry,O’Connors fish restaurant is highly recommended abandon great for children. Mary was really helpful and friendly. Always there for questions. We went for a dip in the sea right outside the house! A fantastic stay!

Beachside house

The position and views with this property were exceptional. Tranquil, unspoilt and relaxing. The manager Mary was also a lovely, helpful lady who answered all of our questions. The property it’s self is well built but it does need some TLC and Mary mentioned that all the windows are to be replaced next year . The kitchen is well equipped and the use of a tumble dryer and washing machine were very helpful to us. The beds were comfortable but some extra electrical sockets and mirrors are needed for guests to be able to dry their hair. There is a separate annexe to one side of the house which is ideal for grandparents etc.

Stunning views in this relaxing abode, nestled in nature

My family stayed at Ardnagashel Estates for 5 nights and enjoyed every moment. Mary greeted us to check-in, and was so helpful throughout the entire stay, showing us around this beautiful property and how to use the amenities and suggested the local places to go for anything we needed. We enjoyed the peaceful interaction with nature (every time we looked out the windows onto Bantry Bay, there was a different type of animal or boat to watch, and the property is nested back in a beautiful forest of trees and greenery). We completely disconnected during our time there. You will fall in love with the house, the property and the countryside and won't want to leave. We look forward to coming back to stay at Ardnagashel Estates next time we are in Glengariff. Thank you Mary!

Amazing location

We had a lovely introduction with Mary who could not be more helpful. The House, the area, everything is so beautiful, we were sad to leave.Just one issue- The downstairs does not have a family bathroom, so it was a little annoying everyone using my hubby and mine room. Where the Sauna is, would make a great family bathroom and make the house amazing. Other than that, we had the beautiful clean strand outside the door. Walks in the woodlands behind and it is a drive away to the main town and village. We absolutely loved it and will rent there again. Thank you Mary for all your help and advise while we were there. Wishing you and all your colleagues a great summer. Best wishes, Frankie & Mo Arundel-Bruno, London

Acccomodation for extended family wedding guests

Mary was welcoming and did a tremendous job with looking after us and providing us with all the necessary information needed about the house, transport and surrounding area. The house is well laid out and suited our needs. I would however say that the downstairs en-suite bathroom needs a complete upgrade as it's falling apart. It would also be beneficial to have a downstairs cloakroom for guests in place of the sauna. Please consider modernizing the heating system to one that is practical for guests to use. Finally, the seating area outside looks tired and could also use a bit of a lift. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this property as it is in a peaceful location and has spectacular views
