We stayed in seashell cottage for four nights and really enjoyed the stay. The view from the terrace is spectacular and there is plenty to do and see close by.
We stayed during the fantastic weather this may. The cottage was very spacious and light with the large windows. Very well equipped and a lovely garden. The hosts were very responsive to messages. Very highly recommended.
we had a wonderful stay at Noreens House, the view in the bay is stunning sitting there in the swing-chairs with the heater under your feet - even in November it´s worth going here. The beach itself and the possibilities to hike around the location are great too
What a fantastic house for a lovely Autum trip away. The house is so close to the beach and to walking trails. The house was very cosy and had all we need for our week away. We will definately stay again.
This is a fantastic place for a holiday. Clean tidy beautiful house, beautiful location. We will definitely come back to this house. Highly recommend this fantastic home. And thanks to his hostesses
Outstanding property! So much space and a stunning view. Everything was immaculate. A short trip to the Kerry Cliffs and Bray Head. Spent a day in Killarney National Park. Fabulous hike. Excellent location!
I love clean and this meet my expectations and more. Lots of sitting spaces, bright and light. Kitchen was well equipped. Stunning and beautiful view from living room.
Highly recommended.
A wonderful, well equipped and large house with great views. Ideal base for exploring Cork and Kerry. Everything you need was there and in good condition (except the cooker).
Can only really recommend.
The property was very spacious and very clean with everything we needed. It was perfect for us. Noreen was helpful when asked questions but also gave us 100% privacy. Description was very accurate and no complaints at all. If you are looking for peace, nature and spaciousness this is the place for you. Brandy the dog’s daily visits were also sweet as she is a very well behaved dog.
After a long drive from Shannon Airport, we opened the door to Seashell Cottage and immediately felt like we were home. The scenic surroundings offered us peaceful mornings to lounge over coffee and enjoy the stunning view, and the perfect base to venture out to explore the Skellig Coast — which we have fallen in love with. Our stay was idyllic, and the short trips to Waterville or Cahersiveen to pick up necessities were delightful. Seashell Cottage is very comfortable, the pantry had many essentials, and our host, Noreen, made sure we were well taken care of. Our stay was an absolute dream, and we hope to return again and again.
Sea Shell Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. The house is so spacious and the view is unbelievable. It's got all you need for a lovely stay.
The walks, scenery, beach, donkeys and ever changing weather, made our time there just so lovely. Not forgetting the daily visits from Brandy, the dog. My husband and I stayed there with two of our friends, they thoroughly enjoyed it too. We would all go back again in a flash!
The host was available if we needed anything, just a text away.

We had a wonderful stay at this roomy holiday home with good facilities and provisions. The area is quiet yet the local beach is magnificent and within walking distance. We brought our bikes and the local area was perfect for cycling with quiet roads and interesting coastal routes. Our friends who are musicians enjoyed playing in the local pubs in Cahersiveen, Ballinskelligs and Waterville
A great base to explore the Kerry coastline. We found Seashell Cottage a clean, well appointed and comfortable home to shelter from the rainy weather. The views are amazing!
This is a beautiful vacation home with an great view of Ballinskelligs bay . We had a wonderful time in spite of really terrible weather . On the clear nights the stars were the most amazing I have ever seen . We highly recommend this home and the host Noreen was great .
We spent one week in Ballinskelligs and had a great time there. The house is very spacious and comfortable and is equipped with everything you need. Checking in was easy, too. There is a lot to visit - Kerry Cliffs, castles, ring forts and Skellig Michael, of course this is quite expensive. House and surroundings are quiet and peaceful, but there are several supermarkets in Cahersiveen and a small but well-equipped shop only a few minutes away. A clear recommendation from us - and congratulations to Kerrys win in the All Ireland Final 2025!
