Schull Harbour Hotel

8/10 Good
"Lovely little hotel in a quaint town. We just stayed the one night while doing a bit of a tour around the west coast/Wild Atlantic Way. The food options looked a little restrictive for vegans but the front desk did assure me the chef could have catered for me at brekkie and dinner, we just chose to eat out instead."

Award winning Property on a Hill overlooking the sea in West Cork.

10/10 Excellent
"Great place to be! The location is stunning especially the view on Dunmanus Bay provides a relaxing effect from the very first moment. The property provides private parking for at least 3 cars, a lawn and large terrace provide great outdoor space if the weather allows and the big amounts of plants all around in the fenced area brings nature even closer.The house is well equipped with fast internet, Sky-/ Irish TV, separate office / playing room, a very well equipped kitchen etc. etc. Our host Maire was always easy to reach and privided lots of information and tipps prior to our arrival.We enjoyed our stay very much! It was a great base for our several trips into West Cork's countryside, to its coasts and beaches, etc. At the same time it is a great place to be for a "break day" with its outdoor facilities, fast internet, Hifi, TV, DVDs, books ... and the possibility to do some laundry and proper cooking.Thank you, Maire, once againYoursThomas"

Mountain Retreat situated amongst the ruins of the old miners village

10/10 Excellent
"This place was fantastic! The house itself was fabulous, the fireplace was a really lovely and romantic touch (great for honeymoon), and the surrounding ruins are really amazing to walk through, definitely check out the mountain mine shaft trail as well. The whole area is just stunning.The location is great too, just a very short ways into Allihies proper, which is a really charming village with great fish and chips and a couple really nice pubs. If you have to chance to listen to a live music night there I highly, highly recommend it. The museum is also a must see, especially since much of the history there happened on the property you’re staying on. Our host was also excellent! She was very accommodating of our arriving quite late into the evening, and had great recommendations. We absolutely loved our time here!"

Romantic Castle at Roaring Water Bay in West Cork  -  Weekend special available

Romantic Castle at Roaring Water Bay in West Cork - Weekend special available

10/10 Excellent
"Four of us (all adults) stayed here for a week in June/July and it was a very special experience. Stephanie's renovation and design work on the property is impressive, and with the exception of a full-sized oven and laundry facilities, you have everything you need there to be comfortable. The castle is beautifully situated high above Roaringwater Bay, and it's an easy drive to all sorts of wonderful West Cork sites. The stairs are tricky, so it's not really a place for kids or anyone with physical challenges, but otherwise I would very highly recommend this to any adventurous travellers looking for a unique stay."

"Absolutely fantastic!! We loved our holiday in Seal cottage. This was the second time we stayed, and as with the first time, the house did not disappoint! Tomas, the property manager was wonderful, great communication, and ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay stress free! The house is well stocked with things like coffee and toilet roll, condiments, and has a great range of appliances, but there are also arm bands, body boards, games, books.. everything you need to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. The direct access to the beach, sauna and pool is priceless. Our group spent so much time in the water. We had fantastic weather too which was the icing on the cake! We can’t recommend Seal cottage highly enough!"
