Monthly Rentals in Great Skellig

If you’re looking for peace, sheep, and postcard-perfect views — stop scrolling and book Gerald’s place immediately. Tucked away at the end of the road (literally), this little gem on the Ring of Kerry was pure magic. We had beautiful weather, total tranquility, and more sheep than people — a ratio I now realize I deeply appreciate. The apartment was spotless, cozy, and so well-kept it made me question my own housekeeping standards. Gerald himself is a legend — kind, helpful, and clearly some kind of sheep whisperer. He even let us feed the sheep, which was a total highlight. People pay for that kind of thing elsewhere… here, it’s just part of the charm. If you want to unwind, reconnect with nature (and a few hundred woolly locals), and enjoy some truly Irish hospitality — Gerald’s your guy.

Sinead’s place was wonderful. We stayed there for two nights and honestly wish it could have been longer. It was cozy, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with plenty of space and a beautiful view — especially in the morning, watching the sheep just outside the window. One of the highlights of our stay was spending an evening with Sinead’s lovely parents, who let us feed the baby lambs! It was such a heartwarming and memorable experience. They shared so much knowledge with us, and being around the animals truly felt like a dream. We would definitely stay here again!

What can I say, we had the most magical stay at the Rock Cottage. The entire grounds from the cottage, to the many walkable garden trails, the lovely golden retrievers Saffron & Elsa were great company for our dog buddy, the ponies, chickens and donkey! The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is pristine and the cottage is so comfortable & cosy. We enjoyed our stay so much it was a great base for exploring the Mizen peninsula. Jacqueline & Jonathan were fantastic hosts though out our stay, 5* stay!!

Wonderful host and location. Could not recommend enough. Bridie was always responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
