Apartment with great view.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely Airbnb, and it exceeded all my expectations! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The attention to detail in the decor made it feel cozy and welcoming, and the amenities provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect – close to local attractions yet quiet enough to relax and unwind. Dominic was incredibly responsive and went out of their way to make sure the stay was enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again in the future. If you’re looking for a great spot for your next trip, this is it! Highly recommended!

Museum Studio in historic town centre
What a fun place to stay right in the heart of Kinsale! Would recommend this place to anyone who likes to have the town at their doorstep and a comfortable, well equipped flat to stay in.

First floor, new beautiful apartment
Great apartment in the middle of town with fantastic views. Comfortable beds. Clean spaces. Lots of extras provided: essential toiletries, pantry staples, and lots of snacks and extras. I would definitely recommend this place for a stay in cute Cobh. FYI: the entrance to this unit is at ground level, a flight of stairs takes you to the communal areas, and a second set of stairs takes you to the bedrooms.

Ring of Kerry with views of Carrauntoohill
We had an amazing stay. Thanks so much to Nora for the warm welcome and clear check in instructions. The place is exactly as described and perfect to relax in after lots of sight seeing. It’s spotlessly clean and the beds are really comfortable. The view from the deck is spectacular! Thanks so much for a great stay!

Newly renovated City Centre Apartment
Great place to stay. Very clean and quiet. 5 minute walk from the centre. Liam was extremely helpful! Thank so much for having us!

Superb Two Bedroom Seaview Apartment
Loved this place. It has a beautiful deck that over looked the sea bay. The host was very friendly and helpful. The pictures on this listing does not do the place justice. I far exceeded our expectations. Thank you John

Large house close to town
Maureen is a wonderful host. We had a late check-in, she waited for us, told us how and what to use in the house, recommended places to visit, bought us food, which was very nice of her. The house is located on a tranquil street, but at the same time, there is a shop nearby and only about 30 minutes to the city center. All photos correspond to reality. The house has everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and we felt at home. Many thanks, Maureen, we had a lovely stay and will be happy to return to your home again!

IrishThatched farm cottage. Private rural retreat
An absolutely adorable cottage, it was everything that we wanted! Sonia did a great job with the place and was a very helpful host. We wish that we had more time to spend there. We loved playing the provided board games in the evening, and then waking up to the sound of farm life in the morning. The provided breakfast ingredients were perfect, really completed the simple and humble feel of the place. A lot of love and care has been put into the cottage. We already want to plan our next stay here the next time we are visiting Ireland!

Pebble beach cottage
‘Oh, you’re staying at The Cottage! Isn’t it lovely?!’ This from the owners of Foley’s, a cozy nearby restaurant/pub that we visited on our one night in the area. The Cottage is known to be an absolute gem, even among the locals who aren’t staying there. It is a super comfortable and well-maintained accommodation. I recommend the Pick Quick convenience/gas store a mile down the road for groceries and ‘world famous toasties’ (grilled ham-and-cheese sandwiches; they hit the spot). Our dinner at Foley’s - a few kilometers further down the peninsula - was delicious, and we were made to feel at home.

The Old Milking Stall, Baltimore / Skibbereen
I cannot recommend The Old Milking Stall (Tim and Barbara) enough!! I stayed there with my family for 4 days and it was more than we could imagine! Tim and Barbara themselves are so welcoming and helpful, they couldn’t be any nicer if they tried! They provide a thoughtful welcome hamper! And for their home it is gorgeous! So beautiful from the garden to the reading nook, it’s perfect for all! Their pet dogs being your friend is a bonus! If you need any help they are willing to do what they can from taxi advice to food recommendations! If you need a place to stay in Skibbereen, The Old Milking Stall is definitely the place to stay! Thanks again Tim and Barbara 🤍

Ivy Cottage Kilmallock
Clinton was a great host, cottage was very clean and well equipped. He also helped facilitate taxis to and from the wedding venue we were in town for. Highly recommend.

ROCK COTTAGE, Wild Atlantic Way, Schull,West Cork
I had a wonderful, very relaxing, break at Rock Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable, bright and cosy, the grounds are beautiful, and Jacqueline and Jonathan were excellent hosts. This is a great location for exploring stunning west Cork, there are many excellent walks nearby and the beautiful Ballyrisode beach is a must see..and swim. Schull is a lovely town, as is Bantry, and everyone I met was friendly. I will be back.

Hilltop
Lovely house, spacious and clean. Great views and location, we had a great time there I would recommend the place for large groups and family days out.

Kerry Wild Atlantic Way Sea View Cottage
Elaine's house is beautifully located, really quiet and peaceful stay. Thanks again !
