Cottage holiday rentals in Cork

A fantastic place to stay in a really great part of west cork. The house is perfectly situated with a couple of minutes walk down to the beach for swims on a private path. It’s quiet and secure and has its own sauna with a great view. Highly recommend!!

Had a lovely few days away staying in Kate's accommodation. She was very helpful and great to deal with. The accommodation was perfect for a quiet getaway and met all of our needs, would recommend to a friend.

We had a lovely staying at graces house. Very peaceful and quiet house. Great location alot of things to do in the local area and beyond. House had everything we could need and more. House was very spacious and great for just the 2 of us. The local produce such as milk, ice cream &scones etc was such a nice touch and of course were delicious. Nice to have access to a hot tub whenever we wanted and hot tub was fired up and waiting for our arrival as well as logs to top up if needed.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Absolutely gorgeous place. Really quiet and peaceful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Magical Stay for a Very Special Birthday We had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful cottage in Ireland to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The cottage itself is charming, spotless, and incredibly well-equipped — the perfect blend of cozy and luxurious. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with breathtaking countryside views that added to the sense of escape and relaxation we were hoping for. The hot tub was a real highlight — soaking under the stars with a glass of wine after a day of exploring was magical. My mum was thrilled, and it truly made her birthday feel special and indulgent. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay feel personal and welcoming. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, a welcome basket, and helpful local tips made all the difference. They even helped us arrange a few special surprises for my mum, which we’re incredibly grateful for. We couldn’t have asked for a more per

Greatly cherished our time at the cottage and very much look forward to returning if the opportunity arises!

This is our 2nd visit to Trag and it will not be our last. The cottage is equipped with everything you need if you would like to lock yourself away. A lovely kitchen to cook while enjoying the view then a soak in the hot tub again with the amazing view. Skiberreen and Baltimore are a short drive away with some amazing restaurants even Michelin star. Sarah however is a great host easily contactable and there to give recommendations.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Bridgie's Cottage. So quiet and peaceful, flowers blooming, bees buzzing, birds chirping...but no sounds of traffic. Coffee outside in the morning, drinks outside in the evening, mountain views. Inside is cosy and comfortable. Comfy beds, efficient kitchen, two fine bathrooms. We immediately took to Pat, who was personable, solicitous, sensitive, informative, and well-informed. A deep and lively intelligence and intellect combined with a wonderfully dry humor; we wanted to stay just to spend more time with him. We can't say enough about how happy we were in this beautiful place. We will be back.

we had a lovely stay and Katarina was so welcoming and friendly. We would love to come back again soon.

We had a great stay at Dee's. The location was perfect and very close to the beach. Accommodation was very comfortable and clean. The fresh eggs were a lovely touch. Dee and Paul were also great hosts.

Eileen's house provided a truly comfortable and welcoming base to explore the amazing Beara Peninsula. The property was just as described and depicted -- including the amenities and gorgeous views that match the photos but have to be seen to be appreciated. The house itself is spotless, has a great walk-in shower and modern appliances including a washer and dryer. Eileen herself is part of the house's charm -- she went out of her way to walk us through it and then took more time to introduce us to all the many natural highlights of the peninsula, from hiking trails to a ferry ride to drives that reveal one grand vista after another. And it's all far less crowded than other Wild Atlantic Way destinations we've been to. Eileen responded quickly to questions and was a cheerful delight. She knows the area inside out and is glad to share tips with guests. It's simply a great location to visit and this is a wonderful place to stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kevin's home, the house was as described and the location was great with lovely walks and views from the doorstep. The walk to zetland pier for a swim was the highlight for us, Hopefully we'll be back next summer.

Fabulous location and the cottage so cosy. Helen was a wonderful host.

What a wonderful stay on the edge of a gorgeous working farm! We arrived to scones, jam and butter set out on the kitchen table. The house is large compared to every other Irish stay we enjoyed. Six people could definitely stay here with ease. There's a full kitchen and two baths. Moreover, there's Jenny the Donkey out front and Polly Puxley the cat at the backdoor. Please bring carrots for Jenny and treats for the relentless but fabulous Polly. We fed them with the permission of our lovely host Mairead, who came by to meet us and who was very welcoming. Don't miss a long walk along the farm where you can greet sheep and another donkey. The surrounding area is breathtaking!

The most beautiful place and the most accommodating host we have stayed with in Ireland or the UK. They went the extra mile with small gestures to make us feel welcome. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

Magical location looking out at the mountains!!..the house is well appointed and very nice!!…Dónal,, the host, was always available and responded promptly when we needed to touch base with her ..all good!!!…would stay there again and wish we could have stayed there longer!!

Perfect no other word describes the place. Cosy, peaceful and an excellent host. There is everything you would need for a holiday and more. Thank you Marie it was absolutely amazing. Missing the kitty cat already always around to great you.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cecilia's place- the views from the living room and the yard are absolutely incredible. There was plenty of space, the kitchen was well stocked, and the surroundings made this place worth every cent. This is an older home with lots of charm and a few quirks, but Cecilia was extremely helpful and responsive, and even sent someone to check on the wifi when we were having trouble with it. The house is private and quiet, but you could be at the beach in just a few minutes by car. We walked along the Kerry Way and enjoyed the beautiful farmlands and countryside, with a view of the water and the mountains beyond it. This place is a perfect getaway to relax and enjoy the beach and the countryside all in one.

A little piece of heaven.. absolutely loved our time here. The Cottage is beautifully restored, very cost. Beautiful clean beach. we will be back...that's for sure.

We had such a wonderfull time in Avril's restored farmhouse. It is so peaceful and quiet and the views from every window are stunning. The house is comfortable and homely, with a bright, well equipped kitchen. It was great to have a piano to play without worrying about disturbing anyone. Lovely garden with a sunset viewing spot if the weather allows! We loved the Sheep's Head peninsula and Avril's house is on the quiet side. Everywhere there are great walking opportunities and some swimming spots, including a few minutes from the house. On the other side of the peninsula we had a lovely meal at Arundel's by the Pier and The Tin Pub and Eileen's are fabulous for a drink. Wayne showed us around the house and made us feel immediately at home. He was nearby if we needed help but left us in privacy. Avril was very helpful and communicative, giving good local tips. As others have said, bring provisions because once you arrive you won't want to leave! And I won't forget those views!

Mid-June we stayed 10 nights in Lee & Mike's cottage. A very good choice, as it turned out. The cottage has been completely renovated with style using solid materials and all the comforts. We have rarely had a rental cottage that was so completely equipped: kitchen equipment, and importantly, excellent beds. Lee is a friendly hostess who lives on a large sheep farm across the street. Always ready for a chat with good tips, without being pushy. The cottage is located near Durrow Bridge, halfway along the Waterford Greenway between Waterford and Glengarvan. Access to the cycle path is 350 metres from the house. We brought our own bikes and were able to explore the Greenway in both directions without having to complete it right away. This place is an absolute must!

Probably the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. The house was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed. Collette’s kitchen was filled with snacks and groceries for breakfast and she brought us freshly baked scones in the morning for breakfast. To be honest, probably the best scones we’ve ever had. Would 100% recommend this listing to anyone who wants to enjoy a few nights in the peace and quiet away from the city.

Bells Cottage is a magical place right out of a fairytale! Not only is the cottage beautiful, but every detail of the space is thoughtfully and lovingly arranged. There were vases of beautiful wildflowers on the tables when we arrived - we immediately felt like we were at home. The location is also a perfect, peaceful place for exploring the area. Walking the Caragh View Loop trail is an absolute must. The trailhead is a few minutes drive from the cottage and the views are spectacular. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you!
