Cottage holiday rentals in Heir Island

It’s hard to even describe the beauty of this place, the cottage was perfect and the amenities are wonderful, everything you need to have a great time. The grounds are truly breathtaking, there is a real magic about this property, loved every minute. Gerard and Ann were excellent hosts, thank you!

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.

I could not recommend a stay at these poolside cottages enough! Great value for money. Ideal for a romantic short break away. The location is perfect and the cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The nearby town Clonakilty is worth a trip to and is easily accessible by car or taxi,

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

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

Gérards place is a must-stay if staying in Clonakilty. We swam every day in the heated pool, played tennis in the afternoon in their private tennis court and walked the local area as well. Stunning grounds to walk as well around the property. 100% would stay again Thank you Connor

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

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Snug. It’s in a beautiful location and being blessed with good weather meant we got to sit outside in the evenings and enjoy the views and garden (as well as visits from Frances’s lovely dog Bear!) The place is really welcoming, the bed was so comfy and there are lovely organic toiletries in the bathroom. It was just so nice to kick back and relax. Frances was also really friendly and so helpful. She gave us some great suggestions of places to visit. We especially loved Barley Cove! I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book here again when staying near Cork. The place is an absolute delight.

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

Annette was a great host from start to finish. Very responsive, attentive, and a very friendly person in general! A welcome hamper for the first breakfast was there for us when we arrived, which was a lovely touch! The house was as described, very clean and cosy, and an excellent launch pad for travelling around the county. Has all the utensils you need for cooking too, which we made good use of. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants something private, has dogs, and wants to see the local sites. Thanks again, Annette!!!

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.

If you want a quiet place and close to the ocean, this is it. A pleasant drive to Killorghlin for shops and pubs. We stayed 5 nights. It was restful. Anne greeted us when we arrived and when we left. A lovely graceful lady

We had a fantastic long weekend in Caroline's place, everything was as described, beautiful house and garden, very cosy and comfortable beds. Great location for exploring West Cork in a very quiet location.

We loved our stay at Paddy and Riona’s place! Very cute and cozy loft with a lovely backyard area! The apartment was well equipped for cooking - had all the bits you could need. Had the best time, thank you!

A very special house in a very special location on an island that will quietly steal your heart. The peace settles on you gently over the days spent in this beautifully designed house with everything at hand that you need. So close to the red walking loop that within 15 mins you are on the cliffs with magnificent views. Liam could not have been more accommodating as a host.

Wow, wow and wow. It way exceeded our expectations and just loved it . Spotless clean and lots of extra things that made our time extra special. Made to feel very welcome and wound highly recommend this place

Thanks Mag and Eugene for a lovely stay. Lovely surroundings and views, birds, reindeer, sheep and doggies. Very comfortable, cosy and peaceful. Hopefully we can visit again soon.

We were very happy with our stay at Linda's accomodation. She was kind and helpful, and we felt very comfortable there. You can easily explore the Killarney/Kerry region(s) from this location and would easily recommend it to anyone thinking about doing the same. Everything went according to plan/as described, so absolutely no negative remarks here.

Beautiful cottage to add to the charm of an Ireland trip. Away from town with a great view and drive but close enough to town that we still had a great time.
