Ideal Cozy Cottage

Jim and Kathryn Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Our week in this cozy cottage was ideal: quiet, clean, and comfortable. We slept like babies. Convenient to hiking on the Sheepshead Way--whether down the road a few yards or as a short hop in the car to the peninsula point. Wonderful fishmonger and delightful pastry shop in Bantry supplied us with great fixings for our dinners. Beautiful views of the bay, a lovely garden and good bird-watching. Our host was most welcoming and gracious. This is an great spot for garden-lovers. Beara Peninsula is nearby and a good drive as is the Mizen Head; formal and informal gardens; stone circles and good shopping for woolens.

Beautiful, quiet, great value

hamzoo Canada
Review Submitted: October 21, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed during the off season and I can't wait to go back. It is a beautiful little cottage that is very comfortable with a fireplace (plenty of wood and coal provided) and all the amenities. I could not believe that we had such a nice place to stay for the price. Fresh flowers, information on local attractions, books to read, and other thoughtful touches put this place as our favourite stay during our whole Ireland trip. The only caveat is that it wouldn't be suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs as the stairs to the bedrooms are steep. For those looking for a very quiet, private place that is not too far from interesting sights and with ample opportunities for hikes this is the place.

HAC168395 Santa Monica, California USA
Review Submitted: September 24, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We stayed at Rachel and Andrew's lovely cottage in
late July 2008. It was the highlight of a trip which
took us to Paris, Provence and London. It took us
two hours to drive from Cork to Durrus, then a few
miles more up a small road surrounded by heather
filled hillsides, inlets and mist enshrouded fields.
Arriving at the cottage was pure delight -- we were
met by the very friendly Rachel who showed us
about and we were more than happy with the
accommodations. It was exactly what we had
hoped for -- our own little cottage with two
bedrooms upstairs, a supremely comfortable bed
with down duvet, fireplace, well stocked kitchen
and bath and views all around. We particularly
enjoyed having our own garden space and the fully
stocked washer and dryer. There is a wonderful
and well thought out selection of books and Irish
music at the cottage which we enjoyed very much.
We spent our few days there taking long walks,
taking drives to Crookhaven (where you must try
the seafood chowder) and to the top of the
Sheepshead Peninsula where we had scones and tea
in a tiny cabin at the top. The peace and quiet of
the cottage and the accommodating nature of
Rachel and Andrew made us feel well taken care of.
Many thanks for a wonderful stay - we look forward
to visiting again soon.

Review Submitted: August 17, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We have just returned from a really lovely 10 day trip to Rachel & Andrew's magical cottage retreat in Durrus. They are exceptionally gracious and helpful hosts and really make you feel at home. Like others who have stayed, the added touches of fresh flowers, excellent kitchen facilites, home grown veg, herbs& tomotoes were very welcome. There was ample wood & coal (& firelighters) for the fire were very welcome.
There is really excellent walks all around the cottage and it is a great unspoilt base for touring Sheeps Head and beyond. Enjoy.
Thanks to these guys- we return to work tomorrow refreshed and renewed.
