We were traveling with family and it was wonderful to be able to spread out. The area is remote enough out was so quiet, but close enough to everything we wanted to see.

The house is located on a cliff overlooking the Celtic Sea, and the view from the property is magnificent. The cliff walk to Ballycotton begins at the corner of the property and runs along the edge of the cliffs above the sea. The house has 4 bedrooms and is well equipped and very comfortable. The drive to Ballycotton takes about 5 minutes, and there are some wonderful restaurants and bars there. The photos on the website accurately depict the house and the views, and the property exceeded our expectations. We would certainly stay here again.

We feel so fortunate to have found this incredible property. The access to restaurants in Bally Cotton was perfect. Hiking on the cliff walk right out the door not to mention swimming on the beech steps away. We took day trips to Cork, Cobh, and Waterford. Our host was incredibly available to answer questions about the area. Thank you.

October Stay

The house and location was absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and met all of our needs and communication with the owner was great. It was our favorite stop on our vacation to the south of Ireland. Don’t miss out on the cliff walk which begins/ends right in front of the house. It was breathtaking !

Ballycotton

The house was fantastic in all regards and had an excellent location for short trips in the area like to Cobh. The trailhead for the Ballycotton Cliff trail is literally across the road too. Definitely check out the Sea Church restaurant in Ballycotton.

The Perfect Getaway!

Jo is an amazing host! Beautiful home, breathtaking views, rugged and removed from the hustle and bustle of being in town. Ballycotton has good food and lively Pubs in close proximity. Polar Plunges at the private little beach, Cliff Walks and the friendly neighbors were definitely highlights of the trip! We are already planning our return visit!

Relaxation!

This home is perfect for a relaxing vacation. We took walks along the cliff walk, and several country roads. We took day trips from Kinsale to Waterford, and everywhere in between. We ate farm fresh eggs purchased from a local home a quarter mile from the house. The views of the Atlantic are stunning from the sun room! I would highly recommend for the quiet, escape from the city, vacation!

Fantastic views

We stayed here last year and enjoyed it so much that we came back again. The house is beautiful, spacious, well equipped and has fabulous views. The two downstairs bedrooms are perfect for the needs of some of our party, and the cliff path starts right beside the house. All in all it's perfect.

Haven from the pace of life. All the entertainment you need is through the window. A carefully thought out floor plan and comfortable furnishings made the the best version of a home from home. Plenty of space and china to allow us to host a family dinner for 12 - everyone blown away by the views and the quality of your home. Thank you

Bally Tranquility

My wife, daughter and I returned for our second visit to Ireland. This trip, we were accompanied with our parents who have never experienced the spell that's casted over you while your stay in Irelands countryside. Our choice to stay with Luxury Holiday Cottage by a secluded beach near Ballycotton did not disappoint. Its charm and open floor plan worked so well with space and provided all the amenities during our stay. I would suggest to anyone.

Amazing!

If you are looking for a place that is in the middle of the action and you can take a walk to a local pub, this isn't for you. This is an amazing home off the beaten path, breath taking views and more than enough room for larger families. I couldn't be happier with this diamond in the rough.

Spectacular Views

This home does not disappoint in comfort, amenities and views! This was our first trip to Ireland and after the excitement of Dublin, pulling up to this serene location was breathtaking. It took us a few minutes to enjoy the view before we wanted to unpack the car. Then discovering all the rooms of the house was so fun as it kept getting better with each room. The trails and the beach were so fun to explore. We didn’t leave the house for two days and then to explore the nearby towns added to the charm of the location. When I asked my family their favorite part of our trip, they all said it was their time at this house.
