Home in Tralee
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsLarge 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!
Cottage in County Kerry
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviewsGallery
We stayed in The Gallery, it was a truly beautiful space for two. Lots of light from the velux windows, beautifully furnished and so so comfortable. There were candles, lots fresh flowers, fresh eggs, bread, scones and wine to welcome us. The log burner gave us a cosy warmth on a cold September evening. Our host Myra was the best host, from the warm welcome to the splendid travel trips. Her advice made our holiday, particularly the trip to Mizen Head on our way home. A big thank you to Myra, Derry and the dog Frankie. We hope to visit you again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Willow House. Katie was extremely helpful and responsive. The Christmas tree and decorations were absolutely fabulous ! We really felt at home there. Willow House was spotless and beautifully finished. We will definitely be back as we loved staying here.
Home in Aughills
5 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsPebble beach cottage
It was a beautiful property. We loved the coziness, the fireplace, the space and the view. A hair dryer would have been nice and a DVD player for all the DVDs that were there. Very clean and comfortable. Great memories and just what we were looking for. Thanks!
Home in County Cork
5 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewsThe 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 🤍

Farm stay in Nr Schull
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviewsROCK COTTAGE, Wild Atlantic Way, Schull,West Cork
We are just back from a little winter break in a gorgeous refurbished cottage in the grounds of Rock Cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It was very well equipped with a great kitchen and there were little added extras such as tea and coffee and there was milk in the fridge for our arrival. Our hosts were very welcoming and wanted everything to be just right for our stay. We brought our two dogs which worked out really well with plenty of beaches nearby to walk and let them run and we all enjoyed the walking trails in the grounds of the cottage. I am sure this is very special place in the summer time. Thank you, Jackie for making our stay enjoyable. We hope to visit again.
Place to stay in Kealkill
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviewsComfortable and cosy apartment
Danny and Jessie's place was exactly what we wanted. A home away from home. Peaceful, remote, but easy to get to local towns and villages by car. And the garden is absolutely stunning. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.
