Idyllic Spot

First time Ireland visitors Reno, NV. USA
Review Submitted: October 21, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Fellow Travellers,

On behalf of my mother, daughter, sister-in-law and myself, I can wholeheartedly recommend Sunset Cottage. Everything was neat as a pin inside and out. The locals we met at the beach-front WiFi spot were very friendly. The owners of the house have accumulated lots of brochures on different activities, making us spoiled for choices. Looks as though a return visit is a "must".

Unique summer

jfgap Lake constance / near alps, Germany
Review Submitted: October 2, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
It was our first visit in Ireland. We really had a unique summer with irish weather in this amazing house. Our two children used the nice rooms on the ground floor - each child a room. And my wife and I took the (very) large rooms upstairs. So every gerneration had their free space - if it was necessary. ;-)
Dessy gave us four bikes and we made some lovely trips around Ballingskellig. The small beach three minutes away was also ideal for the kids. Collecting mussels and climbing onto the cliffs around the edge - nealy every day. It was/is a unforgettable week.
Thanks for all, we'd like to come back again!g

A perfect house for 8-9

Los Telles Barcelona, Spain
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The house is comfortable and big enough for 8 persons+.
Very light and good finishes, 3 double berooms, an enormous toilet with shower and jacuzzi (2 pax), living room- dining room with a table for 10 and the kitchen, well equiped (I missed a mixer), all downstairs. Upsairs you'll find a double en suit bedroom and another sitting room with capacity for all 8 seating. From the upper windows there is a great view of Ballinskellings bay. and if you ever have a clear night look up to the sky.

A garden sorrounds the house, there is place for 2 or 3 cars in front and there are 4 working bicycles.
The house is located 2 km away from the village, nice bike round. there is a beach 200m far, an a dock just beside, good place for kids to play fishing.

We came in August and everything was fully working (we didn't fire both upper and lower fireplaces) if you are a big family or two, the house will welcome you.

Ballinskellings is a windy place, Irish weather garanteed, far enough from large villages, in the gas station youn may find the basics, 12 Km away Waterville, supermarket, restaurants and golf course.

we loved it, you just feel home.

Sunset Cottage

Welb Derbyshire, England
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a really lovely holiday. As it was our first visit to Ireland we were a bit nervous of how we would be treated. We needn't have worried. We found everyone, from Des to the people we met everywhere, to be really welcoming and friendly.
Sunset Cottage was just what we had wanted. The house, area, views, wildlife and fishing were lovely.
Thanks Des

Peace and Beauty

Irish Cameo Illinois, USA
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My mother, my cousin, and myself spent a wonderful week at Sunset Cottage in June. It was absolutely incredible! The cottage itself is beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking, and Des is wonderful. To have a mountain for your backyard, and the ocean for a (some distance) front yard, is superb. The windows from the upstairs library provide a vista that is indescribable. Des spent a long time with us, answering a myriad questions, providing directions, and even helping to translate some Irish for us! Thanks Des, for a marvelous experience. When we return, we will certainly stay here again.
