Vacation rentals in Muckross

Lovely home and beautiful grounds. We appreciated that mary had the heat and hot water turned on before we arrived. She had a binder of helpful tips on operating appliances etc. and suggestions of nearby restaurants and attractions. She was accommodating when we asked for early checkin.

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!

As we were arriving at 4am, Denise kindly upgraded us to No 1, because it was easy to access as right next to the car park. The house has been recently refurbished. It had everything we needed, perfectly clean, very comfortable beds, fluffy towels, beautiful views. The welcome pack of tea, soda bread and biscuits was very welcome as we were unable to buy supplies on the way as we drove through the night from Dublin airport. The drive was from Dublin was easy, the check in was easy, the house was perfect and our hosts generously allowed us to be relaxed about our check out time too, which was much appreciated. There's a shop and a hotel with restaurant moments away, it's a longer walk into Killarney but doable. It's a very beautiful part of the world. We were visiting relatives nearby so hope to return soon.

We loved staying at Sarah's place. The cottage is spacious, quiet and very cozy. We were afraid of being cold because the house is large and old but this was not the case at all because there is a programmed boiler that can be boosted if needed. The location allowed us to see Dingle and the beautiful Killarney Regional Park. For dinner we highly recommend the Dingle Pub which is 20/30 minutes away: typical of Irish life, you will discover a warm multi-generation and traditional musical atmosphere. Cooking is good! There is also a beach 15 minutes away by car which is beautiful! A big thank you to Sarah for letting us stay in this fabulous corner of Ireland! We recommend this cottage without hesitating!

Denis is a wonderful host. The house is amazing. The location breathtaking. The whole group had a very comfortable and peaceful stay. Exactly what we needed. We are definitely going to return next year.

Phil greeted us when we arrived and showed us our place. He gave recommendations for food and live music in town. The views were spectacular, and there were chairs outside to sit and admire the property and views. Very quiet and private. We had a little issue with the dryer, and Phil was immediately responsive and helpful! Would return here if we are back in the area.

This house was perfect for our needs. As a large group of adults, the number of en-suite rooms was great. The house had a wonderful large kitchen/living space, perfect for gatherings. The house was warm and beds were comfortable. Barbara was quick to respond and very helpful with our check-in and check-out arrangements. There was plenty of equipment and a well stocked cupboard of herbs and spices and odd bits that you need but don’t want to buy just for a few days. The location was perfect - 10 min walk to the centre of Bantry and the views are amazing from the house (despite the rain). We will definitely be back.

Beautiful home in an ideal location for all the exploring we had planned. Everything we needed to make it a real home away from home for our family to gather from the USA, UK and Ireland. Peaceful and yet close enough to places to eat, drink and shop.
