Holiday rentals near Crookhaven Lighthouse

Loved the Haven. Location was great and house was lovely with a scandi twist. The views from the sitting room were stunning. Thanks for a relaxing week.

Luxury cabin in the grounds of a country house. We were made very welcome by our hosts. Excellent bathroom with really hot water and a well equipped kitchen. Outside we could walk all over with our dog and it was great to climb to the top, have a drink sitting on the bench admiring the stunning view. viewviewvview.

We travelled to Castletownbere from our home in Dorset to meet up with an old friend - we are pushing 80 so most of our friends are old! We hired a car at Dublin Airport and travelled to this delightful town in SW Ireland. It is a fishing port and the smaller trawlers mostly fish locally while the large ones fish further out in the Atlantic - brave men indeed. Sadly, most were in port unable to fish on account of quota restrictions. The town I found most interesting and we enjoyed fantastic walks around this very scenic area. The Irish have friendliness and hospitality embedded in their DNA. Everyone we met were unfailingly nice - as were our hosts in this fantastic property. Many holiday homes are filled with furniture and utensils that are not always of the best quality but Tallon Lodge was and is a real home. The property was originally the home of the owners and if you should have a mind for detail there is so much to please. A mixture of modern and rustic, everything works and we felt totally at home. The owners live nearby. It is surrounded by fields to the rear and neighbours to the side and is exactly as the pictures depict. This property I can honestly say I have no hesitation in recommending. For anyone looking at a holiday home in SW Ireland, with plenty of beautiful coastal scenery and genuinely nice people, look no further.

Excellent holiday property. Lots of beds and bath and space inside and outside. Very well equipped kitchen, also everything you need in the house, books, toys, chairs, BBQ etc. Just as well, as you are miles from anywhere and will certainly need to cook and to entertain yourselves. The photos don't even do it justice, the views are even more beautiful and ever changing. Even our materialistic teenagers were mesmerised. Location is lovely if you like your peace and quiet and nature. Walking distance to Durrus which has one pub that does food and a basic shop. But Bantry is 15 mins and has all shops, supermarkets, nice little cinema and restaurants and takeaways. Easy drive to much of West Cork on picturesque little roads, very charming. We had a great holiday (8 of us, 2 families) and highly recommend. We didn't have perfect weather but pretty good and it didn't spoil our fun, a nice family film evening and a meal of spaghetti is a bonding experience for cousins who don't see each other very often.

My husband and I are just back from a lovely holiday at Rock Cottage. The location is excellent, quiet, beautiful surroundings and ideally situated for exploring west Cork. The cottage was spotless, very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The owners Jackie and Jonathan were extremely welcoming and provided lots of good advice about the surrounding area. We had our two dogs with us. It’s hard to find pet friendly accommodation that is really pet friendly as well as comfortable for the adults. Would definitely love to stay again. Highly recommend Rock Cottage.

If you want to watch the sea, listen to birds, and completely relax, this is the place for you. The house is obviously very well loved and has everything you need to be comfy and feel at home. The surrounding area is also wonderful.

Remote, but beautiful location, overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Great sized back gardens & decking & outdoor shower very useful. Well stocked kitchen, large kitchen table, good coffee machine. Quality towels & bed linen. Large living room looking out onto the sea, great heat from the stove. Safe & calm beach just down from the house, perfect for swimming. Great base for touring the Cork coastline.

Great stay in cosy and comfortable cottage - very well equipped and fantastic location overlooking Dunmanus Bay
