The cottage was clean and comfortable and in a quiet rural location. It was a great place to relax after a full day of sightseeing or when we just needed some downtime. The host is excellent and answered questions promptly. We will definitely stay here again if we ever have the opportunity to come back!

This cottage is a wonderful place to stay and an excellent base for exploring West Cork. Although there were only two of us, it would easily and comfortably accommodate up to six people. Kathleen is a warm and welcoming host, and the cottage felt cosy from the moment we arrived. Visiting in December, we were greeted by a warm living room, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree creating a festive atmosphere, and a lit fireplace that made the space especially inviting. Very “hygge,” as we say in Denmark. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage in Bantry. We were welcomed by a cozy fire and the place was clean and charming. We loved the kitchen and enjoyed cooking and dining together there. It had everything needed. Walks around and the views out of each window were beautiful. The bathtub was welcome during a gusty storm. I would stay again. Great for family. Thanks Katherine and Jack!Warmly, Mary Winslow and family

Land Decision

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
My girlfriend and I made plans to get married in Ireland in March 2026. After a lot of research we decided this cottage which was perfect for our two week stay. It perfectly located for purposes in Bantry for shopping, dining, etc.. Typically most Americans do not appreciate "strangers" approaching the temporary rented vacation home, but Jack (part owner) was very kind and a great part of our trip (we even fed his cat).. The layout was cozy and typical of Europe. Everything worked fine except towards the end of our stay the water in the downstairs bathroom scalded my wife TWICE without touching the heat controls. The upstairs bath had very low hot water pressure (not good for washing hair).. The fire place was a nice touch being lit when we arrived. Only a few neighbors, and nice and quiet. Loved the livestock grazing nearby, lovely vegetation and plenty of literature for exploring. We would definitely visit again as long as the water situation was addressed. You really can't beat the price, people and safe location.

Loved that it was located in country and how peaceful and relaxing it was. Definitely need a car. Had beautiful sunrises and listening to birds as drinking morning coffee. We even had the local cows and cats come visit us! The hosts responded quickly when needed. Overall this was a great place for my spouse and I to celebrate our 25th anniversary while enjoying Ireland with our friends!
