Beautiful Location
The property is very well appointed, clean and beautifully located with clear views across the bay and into the West. Add a little sun and you get a perfect hideaway to relax and recharge. It is also easy to get around if you want to explore Kerry and West-Cork.

A little piece of heaven
This is our third stay in Rockwell and once again we had a wonderful holiday. On arrival the house was spotless and a most welcome coffee,milk,and biscuits awaited....just what we needed after a long journey. Cottage is exceptionally well equipped and the views are spectacular. It is perfectly situated for exploring both Beara Peninsula and Mizen Peninsula. Once again we were blessed with good weather.

Lovely holiday
The property was very good and everything we could have hoped for. A little upset that the bushes looking out to the sea were 6ft. high and obscured the view, together with a tree in need of some attention, nothing like in the pictures. Asking you to take the bins down a very steep drive every week would be too much for anyone with mobility problems. We are in our late sixties and really struggled, but we're not prepared to pay the property manager to be called out.

We have been holidaying in Lauragh for at least 10 yrs so it's obvious how much we love it. It is a very quiet location but a great base to see around Beara Peninsula. This is our 2nd year staying in Rockwell and it is undoubtedly the best we have ever stayed in......absolutely spotless, well equipped, beautiful views, and that all Important peacefulness. We are already looking forward to next year.
