About this property

Cottage with sea views in Glengarriff, West Cork, Ireland

A country cottage near Glengarriff, near Bantry Bay, South-west Ireland, set in 5 acres of dramatic landscape on the Beara Peninsula. Sleeps 4 with 2 bedrooms. The cottage is situated within the warming Gulf Stream that comes down Ireland’s west coast. Only 90 minutes drive from Cork airport or ferry terminal, Lough Avaul is an ideal holiday location for those who want peace and quiet. It is also accessible from Kerry Airport by driving over the Caha Mountains.
Overlooking Seal Harbour and itself overlooked by the Cahas, The Cottage is conveniently situated 3 miles from the friendly small town of Glengarriff, with its shops, pubs and restaurants. There is a trout lake (Upper Lough Avaul) within 500 metres of the cottage. It is only a short walk down the hill to nearby Seal Harbour, where a rocky headland stretches out to the ocean, and bathing is possible from rocks and a small shingle beach at low tide. Seals can sometimes be seen. The weather is pleasant throughout the region and there are many sandy beaches nearby for summer bathing.

Lovely place
We were very comfortable in this house. Check in, check out and questions (only once re heating) were all answered promptly and kindly. The house doesn't look much like the listed photo on the outside- it's not white and there is a lot of trees and foliage around it. It is close to a reasonably busy (during the day) main road, which we hardly noticed except when walking- you have to walk on the main road to go anywhere. Seal Harbour was not accessible due to private building activity which was disappointing. The views were lovely and we were disappointed to not be able to sit outside because of the weather. The location was excellent for us (we love quiet isolation)- accessible to Beara Peninsula and an easy drive to Kerry and Mizen. There was a very active, apparently lonely and anxious dog from a nearby property which is unattended who was around the house most days. I'm not a dog person, and found this quite intrusive every time I walked outside. My partner, however, was concerned and spent some time trying to find out if she was a stray- we ask that whoever stays in the house treat her kindly, as we were told that she is usually chained up at a nearby house which is unlived in on the same lane (she does appear to be fed regularly though) and she is a nice, if anxious and active dog. It's a place that we would stay in again with no hesitation.

Bon séjour à Glengarriff
La maison est (bien) située à quelques kilomètres de Glengarriff qui est une petite ville agréable. La commune de Bantry, un peu plus distante de la maison, est très chouette également (on y trouve tout). Le comté du Kerry est tout près. La maison est fonctionnelle, bien équipée (lave vaisselle, lave linge, ...) un peu "dans son jus" donc si vous cherchez le luxe absolu passez votre chemin, mais le rapport qualité / prix est très satisfaisant. J'y ai séjourné avec ma famille (deux adultes, deux enfants) en août 2023 et le séjour s'est très bien passé. Excellente communication avec Emma. Je recommande cette location.

About the host

Our family has owned this holiday home for over 20 years. Over the years we have enjoyed many visits to Glengarriff and now we return with our children who love exploring the Irish coast.

Why they chose this property

The cottage has wonderful views and it benefits from the warming jet stream. The sea air is so refreshing, we all sleep so soundly. My favourite place to visit is Garnish Islands, the gardens are beautiful and you normally see seals sunning themselves on the rocks.
