Holiday rentals with a fire pit in County Cork

We had a great stay at the lake house. The house is beautiful and has a lot to offer. The location is private and you have a nice view over the lake. Paul made great suggestions for activities and answered quickly. Thanks for everything!

Amazing stay! Accurate description of the house and amenities, beautiful property, cozy and welcoming home. Noreen was super sweet and accommodating!

We had a wonderful stay here, surrounded with hills and a quick drive to many little walks, the coast, interesting towns and about 1.5h from areas further afield such as the Ring of Kerry or Mizzen Head. The space itself is comfortable and clean, and was perfect for our visit (us + 2 young kids + 2 elderly parents) — being able to let the kids play outside is a real gift. Hot tub gets nice and hot and was a great treat to end the day. Thank you Marcella for a wonderful stay, and for being so responsive and helping us with a few of the bits we needed / had forgotten at home! Xx

A really lovely very rural setting out in the countryside, quite isolated (but not in a bad way!) with easy access to Ballydehob and the N71. There were 6 adults in our party but we felt like we had plenty of room. We especially liked to congregate in the sunroom area where the dining room table was located - a great area for socializing. The kitchen and bathrooms were nicely updated, and the bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. Pat provided us with lots of suggestions for activities in the area. I'm very sorry that we weren't able to take his suggestion to buy the potatoes at the Farmer's Market in Skibbereen because surely they must have been the most wonderful potatoes in the world. Sorry, Pat! We strongly recommend using the EIR postal code to find the cottage - the verbal instructions like "the Road bends to the left, down a small dip and rises up again" didn't quite work for us. The cottage is wonderful, and Pat's a helpful, responsive host.

This was such a generous space for 7 adults and 4 children under 11. The weather was amazing so we made full use of the lovely back garden and its gas barbecue and in the evening the fire pit. The kitchen had every piece of equipment imaginable and loads of plates and cutlery etc The view out the back was the mountains out front the sea and further the Iveragh Penninsula in County Kerry. We had food from the food truck at the next door pub and lunch at O Neills in Allihies. Of course crab sandwiches with the wonderful Adrienne at Mc Cathy’s bar in Castletownbere. Walks to Cleanach and the Arches, swims at Travara and the cable car for some thrills. A special and generous place. (It would be wonderful if there were a safe off road path to the little beach or some provision by the county council to make the road more pedestrian friendly).

tower house was clean and spacious every room had its own ensuite which allowed everyone they're own privacy we were here for a wedding and everyone had their own space to get ready the kitchen and living area was comfortable and had plenty of room for us to both eat and relax and the outside patio was lovely in the good weather

We had a lovely stay at Nina & Noel’s place! Even though the place was small, it was cozy and nicely decorated with wooden carvings by Noel. We met Noel when we arrived, and he was very attentive and open. Noel and Nina were very quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything. Noel was always up for a chat and tips for local activities. The apartment is nice and quiet, with lovely views of the surrounding valley, and a short drive away from Bantry. The sauna was great as well after a long day of hiking. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend Nina and Noel’s place if you’re looking for a quiet, cosy holiday surrounded by nature and friendly people! (And two outside cats) 🐈‍⬛🌳 Thank you Noel and Nina for a wonderful stay!

We stayed with our three children, all under four, the location is good for exploring west Cork. the house is fantastic, well equipped and there is plenty of space for the kids to wander. there were some nice touches, children's games, footballs , the swing. all amounted to make the stay all the better. Tanya was responsive and gave us some great recommendations for local attractions with the kids also. wouldn't hesitate to recommend

What a gem of a find at John’s place. It was exactly as described but in addition the quality of the furnishings and quality of the kitchen appliances, crockery, cutlery was exceptional. John had clearly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. He was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area, and was able to answer any questions we had. I was able to go out on the bay in his kayak and saw the seals. A lovely experience. If we return to this area again we will definitely be in touch to use Johns place again.

We loved our stay ,it felt like home,we will deffo be back.The home was spacious,and very clean,the hot tub was a real bonus after a long drive,and to play a little music before bedtime was priceless.The doggies also were welcomed which we appreciated. The only downside we would have liked to stay longer🤸‍♀️😊🐕🐕🐕

5 stars all round, great place to stay if in Schull

Spent a lovely night here- the views are absolutely stunning and the place had everything we needed! The location is perfect for exploring Kenmare!

We had top floor. 2 adults and two kids. We were attending a Christening in Mill Street which is 15 min drive from here. Nice place. It's actually located on the local 4km loop if you fancy a walk or run. Great host.

Thomas and Birgit's place was amazing! Nestled in the countryside it is incredibly peaceful and quiet! Really nice to spend time on patio or backyard when it's sunny. The apartment was in pristine condition, with most things being almost brand new. Lots of space, even bigger than shown in photos. Lovely shower with multiple modes, and everything you need in the kitchen. Appreciated the fruit provided, and the kitchen equipment like Tupperware containers and oils etc. The place is very close to Priest's leap which was fantastic just before sunset! Birgit and Thomas were super friendly and also went out of their way to respect our privacy. One of the best places we've ever stayed! ps - the road up to the accomodation is mostly single lane so take care when driving up but it is worth it.

Sadly didn't get to stay here personally as motorbike died however my dad and uncle said this was the best stop on the trip with everything two bikers needed for a comfortable stay, and a decent homemade brekkie available for a little extra, thanks again

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. We were in walking distance to everywhere in town. The flat was clean and thoughtfully offered all of the”extras” , bathrobes, nice towel sheets, even milk, butter and beer in the fridge as well as a bottle of wine. We couldn’t have been happier!

We had the most amazing time at Greg's beautiful air bnb. From start to finish we felt so relaxed. We were greeted by the lovely Patrick who showed us around and explained everything. It was like a tropical paradise! We travelled with 2 children and they had such an amazing time in the pool. Everything was as described. The house was spotless, garden is so beautiful and the viewing point was stunning. We would highly recommend Glashnacree House and Gardens and we will 100% be returning in the future.

i arrived beside myself with stress but Jenny and her place are just the cure for that. She is a mega host. Before i left i was already contacting friends to recommend an escape to the shepherd’s hut. read the description as it is camping style. but what you give up in some conveniences you more than get back in beauty, peace, and joy. she strikes a great balance between leaving you alone and including you in leisure activities. i used the stay as a cheap access point to cork but would recommend it as its own destination. i brought an extra blanket but im pretty sure if i had not she would have had one as the place is equiped beyond what i expect at that price

if you are looking to get away from everyone and everything this is the ideal place, peaceful, quite, tranquil and surrounded by nature, our host were so welcoming, the cabin had everything you needed and you left at home straight away, we spent 3 nights there and we were sorry we didn't book it for longer but it wont be long before we rebook

Myself and the kids had a great time, taking part in the milking was fun and Denise had lovely fresh baked bread and scones waiting for us, Lovely place and lovely people.

This was an absolutely beautiful setting and the tiny home was perfect. The town is small and we met some wonderful people at The Wild West! Our first trip to Ireland was nothing less than perfect.

We had the best time. The house is a perfect little get-away. Beautiful garden, very clean, very-well equiped. Beautiful surroundings. We had the greatest stay. Thanks Kate for all your very helpful messages and recommendations!

One of the most beautiful accommodations I've ever been to. Absolutely clean and cozy (the fireplace was already prepared, we just had to light it!). We sat on the sofa for hours, listening to the silence and watching the sea and the many animals. The journey is also not a problem with the help of the good explanatory videos. Just drive slowly and pay attention to the instructions.

A very cosy tiny home, kitchen had everything you might need. everything was extremely clean and beds (including the sofa bed) were comfortable. And to top it all off the doggies that came to say hi were very cute and friendly!
