Lovely quiet retreat

Luxury cabin in the grounds of a country house. We were made very welcome by our hosts. Excellent bathroom with really hot water and a well equipped kitchen. Outside we could walk all over with our dog and it was great to climb to the top, have a drink sitting on the bench admiring the stunning view. viewviewvview.

Beautiful property in a gorgeous location

We had a fantastic break. Jackie was was a friendly and helpful host. We were free to explore the extensive grounds- the views are spectacular, especially at sunset. The chalet is lovely. Very comfortable with everything as pictured. A little slice of paradise! We were visited regularly by Elsa and Saffron the dogs and enjoyed our evening strolls to visit the ponies and donkey. The surrounding area is stunning - there is so much to see and do. We enjoyed daily sea swims and exploring the coastline. We can't recommend this place highly enough!

Fantastic spot

We had a lovely stay in this cottage. The property is beautiful and has loads to explore. There are walks with stunning views and lots of friendly animals. We found the cottage had plenty of amenities for our stay, but the best part is how easy it is to explore the area from here. I would recommend the cottage for a couple, but probably not a family as it would be a bit small for more than 2 people. We'd definitely like to visit again.

Peaceful and relaxing

We had a great week staying at Rock Cottage, the setting is beautiful the grounds are stunning and spacious. The chalet itself is hidden away with a private patio and resident ponies over the fence. The chalet is well kitted out with super kitchen and great shower, comfy bed and tv (we didn't use it). Lovely touch with the flowers and free eggs as a welcome. Will certainly recommend to others, we loved it

Superb location

The chalet is very compact. It took some discipline and organisation to make our stay comfortable. The bed is very comfortable and the shower and bathroom are very good. It would benefit from additional storage, even some shelves or coat/clothes hooks. It was, of course, great value for money.

We loved our stay in the chalet. It was idyllic. Jackie and Jonathan were great hosts, there when we needed them but never intrusive. The chalet had everything we needed and more. Sitting having breakfast in the company of the donkeys was our piece of heaven. We couldn't recommend Rock Cottage more strongly.

Magic

This was our first experience at Glamping. We arrived with open minds ready to make-do no matter. Our experience was just amazing. It became for us an enchanting oasis in an area of West Cork with which we were unfamiliar. We couldn’t have selected a better location. It was central to all. A magnificent compact dwelling, artistically furnished with a delicate, yet tasteful awareness of all that is beautiful in nature. Thank you Jacqueline for our most memorable trip to Schull and surrounds. We loved every moment.

Review of Garden Chalet (not pictured)

I loved my 'glamping' experience. I feel at home on the property and John was the perfect host. Everyone I encountered made me feel so welcomed. Serendipitously, my visit coincided with the West Cork Food Festival. What a great experience to participate in events that bring together all of West Cork's communities. I was able to find plenty of vegan/vegetarian food options. Highlights of my first week include the Ewe Experience and Two Green Shoots, Sheep's Head lighthouse, Heritage Museum in Skibbereen and Organico in Bantry. Spinning classes with Daniel and Linda from Daniel Martin fitness were really good, and yoga with Bella was super relaxing. On to my second week...and more events to write about. Such a beautiful part of the world. I am so lucky!

Perfect, peaceful, property in a beautiful location.

My wife and I stayed in the Rock Cottage chalet for a leg of our honeymoon across Ireland, and we couldn't have enjoyed our stay here any more. As others have stated, the setting is extremely tranquil and quiet, and you can even see the ocean from the hill atop the property! We so enjoyed exploring the area, including the nearby Mizen Head Peninsula and the lovely towns of Schull, Goleen, Crookhaven. We also took a ferry out to a nearby island for a day hike - all of these activities are minutes away. Best of all, Jackie and Jonathan were extremely kind, helpful, and accommodating hosts, and we would absolutely love to stay with them again in the future. We honestly can't say enough good things about our stay at Rock Cottage. Thank you again for everything, Jackie and Jonathan!

Perfect Place to Stay, ideal location

Can't say enough positive things about the chalet and hosts. The setting was peaceful. The property is a tucked away and there is no car noise, which is exactly what we wanted coming from a city. The bed is VERY comfortable. The whole arrangement afforded us the best nights sleep my wife and I have had in ages. Kitchen has everything needed and is stocked with some essential items like cooking oil, salt, pepper, tea bags, etc. The hosts are wonderful and shared some farm fresh duck eggs. Not a far drive to explore the peninsula. Make sure you go to Three Castle Head and do the little hike up to the top overlooking the castle and water. Breathtaking. Anyhow, no regrets booking this property. This made our first trip to Ireland very memorable.

Joli mignon petit chalet

Parfait pour un séjour court en couple, voire plus long si on ”bouge” beaucoup. Une région à découvrir, des hôtes adorables et hyper réactifs, (prêts à se mettre en quatre pour palier vos erreurs), des petites attentions dénotent un réel sens de l’hospitalité : petit dejeuner à l’arrivée, bouquet frais sur la table. Un cadre tranquille, des fonctionnalités claires. Recommandable en tous points.
