October Stay

The house and location was absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and met all of our needs and communication with the owner was great. It was our favorite stop on our vacation to the south of Ireland. Don’t miss out on the cliff walk which begins/ends right in front of the house. It was breathtaking !

Relaxation!

This home is perfect for a relaxing vacation. We took walks along the cliff walk, and several country roads. We took day trips from Kinsale to Waterford, and everywhere in between. We ate farm fresh eggs purchased from a local home a quarter mile from the house. The views of the Atlantic are stunning from the sun room! I would highly recommend for the quiet, escape from the city, vacation!

Haven from the pace of life. All the entertainment you need is through the window. A carefully thought out floor plan and comfortable furnishings made the the best version of a home from home. Plenty of space and china to allow us to host a family dinner for 12 - everyone blown away by the views and the quality of your home. Thank you

The house was fantastic in all regards and had an excellent location for short trips in the area like to Cobh. The trailhead for the Ballycotton Cliff trail is literally across the road too. Definitely check out the Sea Church restaurant in Ballycotton.

The Perfect Getaway!

Jo is an amazing host! Beautiful home, breathtaking views, rugged and removed from the hustle and bustle of being in town. Ballycotton has good food and lively Pubs in close proximity. Polar Plunges at the private little beach, Cliff Walks and the friendly neighbors were definitely highlights of the trip! We are already planning our return visit!

Fantastic views

We stayed here last year and enjoyed it so much that we came back again. The house is beautiful, spacious, well equipped and has fabulous views. The two downstairs bedrooms are perfect for the needs of some of our party, and the cliff path starts right beside the house. All in all it's perfect.

Bally Tranquility

My wife, daughter and I returned for our second visit to Ireland. This trip, we were accompanied with our parents who have never experienced the spell that's casted over you while your stay in Irelands countryside. Our choice to stay with Luxury Holiday Cottage by a secluded beach near Ballycotton did not disappoint. Its charm and open floor plan worked so well with space and provided all the amenities during our stay. I would suggest to anyone.

Amazing!

If you are looking for a place that is in the middle of the action and you can take a walk to a local pub, this isn't for you. This is an amazing home off the beaten path, breath taking views and more than enough room for larger families. I couldn't be happier with this diamond in the rough.

Spectacular Views

This home does not disappoint in comfort, amenities and views! This was our first trip to Ireland and after the excitement of Dublin, pulling up to this serene location was breathtaking. It took us a few minutes to enjoy the view before we wanted to unpack the car. Then discovering all the rooms of the house was so fun as it kept getting better with each room. The trails and the beach were so fun to explore. We didn’t leave the house for two days and then to explore the nearby towns added to the charm of the location. When I asked my family their favorite part of our trip, they all said it was their time at this house.

Tranquil and Beautiful

A perfect lovely, bright and airy home with all the necessities provided for your stay. Each room has its own personality and all with a beautiful view. The furniture is so cute and comfortable and the bedrooms are nice and roomy. I always pack too much and I had plenty of room to spread out all my stuff:) Nice spacious family room and kitchen and cute garden area to enjoy the outside with chairs to watch the ocean, and a picnic table and bbq. Secluded but not isolated. Neighbors are around but no one will bother you and the only noise you’ll hear is the ocean. Exactly what we needed to rest and reconnect and recharge. We can’t wait to go back!!

Staying in County Cork? Don't bother looking elsewhere!

Our family of five ranging in ages 17-75 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We enjoyed the easy access to the Cliff Walks and beach and the breathtaking views (I don't think anyplace else in County Cork has a view like this cottage does). We alternated rest days so we could enjoy the cottage with short day trips to Cork, Cohb, Ballylamoe Cookery School Shop & Gardens, and Ballycotton Village (try the chowder at Blackbird!). We mainly ate in (shopping for food at the Ballymaloe Cookery School shop (go early in the day for produce and fresh breads, and they have refrigerated and frozen proteins). We shopped for broader grocery items at Tesco or SuperValu in Midleton. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals. You do need a car to travel to this lovely cottage. We're already discussing how we might return one day!

What a view!!

My husband and I had an amazing time in this cottage perched above the sea. We were looking for peace and quiet, far from the tourist crowds - and we definitely found it! Nearly every night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves in the cove below the house. Nearly every morning, we woke to the sight of blue sky or wispy clouds through the sky lights, and the sunlight on the sea through the windows. The one exception was the night it stormed, but we were snug and warm, enjoying the sound of the rain and wind. We loved walking on the cliff path, just steps from the house; one day, we walked into Ballycotton, had lunch Pier 21, and walked back - a perfect day! Other days we did daytrips into Cork and Kinsale, venturing as far as the Drombeg stone circle (highly recommended!). The cottage made a great home base. Hope we can visit again someday!

Just lovely

I would love to gate-keep this home, but it would be a loss for you not to experience it. Gorgeous all around, the location can not be beat, and all the quintessential Irish beauty. The drive to getting to the house, well, it’s Irish roads insanity, but after that, it’s all peace. We’re planning on making it again apart of our next Ireland vacation
