Cottage holiday rentals in Beara Peninsula

It’s hard to even describe the beauty of this place, the cottage was perfect and the amenities are wonderful, everything you need to have a great time. The grounds are truly breathtaking, there is a real magic about this property, loved every minute. Gerard and Ann were excellent hosts, thank you!

My family stayed at Esther's place for 4 nights. We had the most wonderful time! The house has beautiful views of the ocean and is a short walk from both Inchydoney beach and the hotel. The house was clean and spacious with room for the whole family including our dog. Esther was welcoming and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area. We would definitely recommend Esther's place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the beach!

Had a lovely few days away staying in Kate's accommodation. She was very helpful and great to deal with. The accommodation was perfect for a quiet getaway and met all of our needs, would recommend to a friend.

I could not recommend a stay at these poolside cottages enough! Great value for money. Ideal for a romantic short break away. The location is perfect and the cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The nearby town Clonakilty is worth a trip to and is easily accessible by car or taxi,

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Absolutely gorgeous place. Really quiet and peaceful.

Gérards place is a must-stay if staying in Clonakilty. We swam every day in the heated pool, played tennis in the afternoon in their private tennis court and walked the local area as well. Stunning grounds to walk as well around the property. 100% would stay again Thank you Connor

This was the cottage experience we were hoping for in Ireland! We loved the character of the cottage with so much thought put into every detail and texture. The art and decor were very tasteful and the amenities were good and practical. We especially loved making a fire each night even though we aren't terribly experienced at it! And the views from all the windows of the peaceful vegetation were so calming. And the private sitting areas in the yard were delightful - one with an ocean view! Their dog was sweet and friendly, too. The instructions for using the hot water were clear, but somehow we mixed them up so struggled a little with the shower but got it straight eventually! Aisling and Donagh were delightful hosts. A short drive away, Baltimore is a true gem of a town with breathtaking scenery and a rich cultural scene, and it even has a michelin star restaurant if that's your speed. Plus the fun algiers pub! We hope to come back again soon

we had a lovely stay and Katarina was so welcoming and friendly. We would love to come back again soon.

Wir hatten eine unbeschreiblich schöne Woche im Snug. Die Unterkunft ist unglaublich gemütlich und eine hervorragende Ausgangsposition um Westcork zu erkunden. Clonakilty bietet tolle Pubs und Frances hat uns großartige Restaurants empfohlen. Insgesamt ist Frances eine empfehlenswerte Gastgeberin. Sie war immer erreichbar und super hilfsbereit. Wir können das Snug zu 100% weiter empfehlen. Danke für alles!

We stayed in Ritchie’s cottage for 3 nights with a dog and a toddler. Ritchie was very friendly and helpful. The cottage had everything we needed and the surrounding area was so beautiful. Thank you Ritchie for your hospitality!

Annette was a great host from start to finish. Very responsive, attentive, and a very friendly person in general! A welcome hamper for the first breakfast was there for us when we arrived, which was a lovely touch! The house was as described, very clean and cosy, and an excellent launch pad for travelling around the county. Has all the utensils you need for cooking too, which we made good use of. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants something private, has dogs, and wants to see the local sites. Thanks again, Annette!!!

Deuxième séjour au cottage sur la jetée. La maison et la vue sur la baie sont toujours aussi bien même sous la pluie. Idéalement situé au calme à Kenmare, restaurants, boutiques et promenades à pied. Merci Hélène !

Probably the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. The house was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed. Collette’s kitchen was filled with snacks and groceries for breakfast and she brought us freshly baked scones in the morning for breakfast. To be honest, probably the best scones we’ve ever had. Would 100% recommend this listing to anyone who wants to enjoy a few nights in the peace and quiet away from the city.

I had a lovely two days here, on a spontaneous solo road trip to chase the sun, the grounds were absolutely stunning with great walks to the lighthouse and into town, the beach was beautiful and water lead and crisp, I thought I was in Greece for a sec there!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hanna's Cottage. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The furniture and all the little touches really create an atmosphere, we found we did not want to leave and just enjoyed watching the view and the boats on the water. The cottage is beautiful and warm and cosy. We went for a lot of walks in the area, its really beautiful there and a lot of nice places to visit. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake! :)

We stayed here for 6 nights and had an amazing time. At first the house was quite chilly due to strong winds, but with the fireplace it luckily became warm fastly. Matt and Maura are such accomodating and welcoming people, who made us feel at home fast. They gave us fresh eggs from their hens and lots of good tips for the area. There is also a Sauna now, which you can book. We got extra towels for the sauna and for surfing, too. All in all our stay at the acumeen farm was a great experience and made us fall in love with this part of Ireland.

The shed is truly such a gem, likely our favorite stop on our Ireland road trip! Riona and Paddy are wonderful hosts. Their space is thoughtful, inviting, and cozy. The bed was very comfortable! We cannot recommend it enough. Stay here if you get the chance.

This cottage was absolutely stunning. We loved to be able to walk to the beautiful beach and enjoy the sea air with windows open. I slept like a baby. The Hotel just down beach had excellent food. We felt so relaxed. Short drive to Clonakilty a very cute town. Everything I wanted and needed. If I ever can return to Ireland I’d love to stay the week here! Thankyou Sam!!!!!

Bells Cottage is a magical place right out of a fairytale! Not only is the cottage beautiful, but every detail of the space is thoughtfully and lovingly arranged. There were vases of beautiful wildflowers on the tables when we arrived - we immediately felt like we were at home. The location is also a perfect, peaceful place for exploring the area. Walking the Caragh View Loop trail is an absolute must. The trailhead is a few minutes drive from the cottage and the views are spectacular. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you!

Excellent apartment. Very well appointed kitchen. Very scenic location and convenient to visit Killarney and the ring of Kerry.

The location is beautiful, we loved how quiet it was at night. And still so close to the venue we had to go, and the town centre. We all loved being welcomed by the dogs! We think is the most complete place we stayed in Ireland so far, the kitchen had absolutely everything you could have forgotten to bring for cooking, plenty of tableware, and being honest the features and design I'd love in my own. The beds were comfortable, the wardrobe is huge. The bathroom has a beautiful design, and we didn't even unpacked our own shampoo and gel, as it had plenty of it all. The laundry room is very convenient, the house was warm, with good insulation. It was a very short, lovely stay, super comfortable and we hope it is available on our next visit to Killarney.

We had a wonderful stay at Ur's House! The location is incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. From the moment we arrived, Urs was warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable and at home. Lounging on the couch in front of the stove with a DVD playing was just amazing. The house itself was spotless—neat, tidy, and very well-maintained. Everything we could possibly need was readily available, from kitchen essentials to thoughtful touches that made the stay even more enjoyable. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a space that is both functional and inviting. Having no wifi and limited mobile reception enhanced the experience. I would highly recommend Ur's House to anyone looking for a serene getaway with exceptional hospitality. Thank you for such a memorable experience!
