Cottage holiday rentals in Skibbereen

This stay was amazing! A perfect quiet retreat surrounded by the Irish countryside! The hosts are so nice and always responsive. Hope to go back again sometime!

We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House! Location, location, location is what it was all about, just stunning! Great outdoor and indoor space for all of the family. We all enjoyed the sauna and it was just a pity that the hot tub was not in use, but it did not spoil anything. The only thing to be mindful of is the shortage of hot water when taking a shower, which i think has been mentioned in previous reviews. However, overall it's the most amazing location and house for a break in West Cork and we really hope we will be back one summer in the future!

Loved the house and amenities, the hydrobath and sauna are amazing and the view is beautiful. So nice chilling out in the jacuzzi looking at the mountains and stars

We had a wonderful stay at Gerard’s cottage! It was the perfect getaway. We especially loved the hot tub with the picturesque surroundings, so relaxing! It’s also super close to Clonakilty town and nearby beaches 🙌☺️

Myself and my partner had an incredible stay at ardnavaha cottages and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit clonakilty. We found the setting itself to be idyllic and the cottage to be very clean and comfortable. After such an lovely stay we will definitely be back.

We just spent 3 nights at Bridgeview Cottage and honestly wish it had been longer! Grace was very communicative and helpful and left fresh scones, butter, jam and milk which we enjoyed. The house is beautifully finished, spacious and airy. The setting is peaceful - lots of trees, nice views across the green valley and quiet apart from the sound of birdsong. The hot tub was a welcome bonus and was ready to use from the time we arrived which was a thoughtful touch. The house is nice and close to Clonakilty and many shops and services. The only remotely negative thing I would say (for other guests benefit) is that the spiral stairs have pointy bits on which my clothes go caught on almost every time I went down them, so just to be aware I'm case of snags! Aside from that a perfect few days and we would love to come back, we barely scratched the surface of what West Cork has to offer!

Didn’t want to leave ☺️

Gerard was a lovely host. Beautiful grounds, would definitely stay here again. Very peaceful and very clean. Hot tub and sauna are a lovely addition to this already stunning airbnb.

The cottage is tucked away in the countryside, and was very clean. The best thing was the wood stove - lots of wood and toasty. We did the night kayaking trip on Lough Hyne and Donagh had the fire lit when we got back. That was fantastic !

From the very beginning Tom was very helpful and always responsive. When we had problems he was quick to respond and help us in whatever we needed. He and his wife were very friendly and l loved talking to them. I highly recommend this place. Obviously you need a car to get around. Thanks for making us feel at home.

This was the most idyllic cottage we could have imagined for our New Years stay. David recommended the best local pub for us to enjoy a traditional Irish new years and it made our trip so great. He was so friendly and welcoming and let us pet the horses. He had lots of history and insight to offer and this place is perfect for any country Irish holiday dreams!

If I could give this place more than 5⭐️ I would! Frances Airbnb might be one of my favorites yet! Not only is it SO beautiful and peaceful, Frances was the most lovely host. Her attention to detail in The Snug is so apparent and she was so helpful and kind! Also we LOVED her little dog Bear, he made our stay 100x even more special. We only had two nights there but I will definitely be back for longer in the future!

This is a beautiful house in a wonderful, private location. The bed was huge and comfortable, with a view of Bantry Bay from the pillow. The facilities are excellent, the garden private and peaceful. Wild ponies were in the area, which was a joy. Kevin is an excellent host. I highly recommend staying here and would love to come back.

We LOVED this space. Annette thought of everything a guest might want. Her home was decorated tastefully with sweet touches, quality furnishings, and thoughtful extras. The kitchen was immaculate with new appliances and all the gadgets we needed for cooking. Her outdoor space was beautiful and serene. We spent much time outside, looking at her garden and listening to the bees/birds. It was amazing. Annette was a great host. She provided a welcome basket with local items and spent a good amount of time with us, though also respected our privacy. She educated us about the home, advised us about eating options/local spots to visit and was just a joy to chat with. We spent several days at her home and are anticipating spending longer stays at her home. This home is a rare find. :)

Superbe séjour dans cette maison pleine de charme, qui mêle l’authenticité de l’ancien au confort moderne. Chaque détail est soigné pour offrir un moment agréable : une literie très confortable, un équipement complet et fonctionnel, et une ambiance chaleureuse. L’emplacement est parfait pour explorer la région, en particulier le Ring of Kerry et le Ring of Beara. Mention spéciale à Des pour son accueil, sa réactivité et les délicates attentions laissées à notre arrivée. On s’est senti si bien dans cette maison qu’il a été difficile de la quitter. Nous espérons vraiment y revenir un jour... Encore merci Des !

We loved every minute from the amazing view over the valley and mountains to the horses and cows grazing in the paddocks. Colette was amazing bringing us freshly baked scones with jam and cream. The cup cakes on arrival were so yummy. The food supplies were more than adequate. Colette was there within minutes if we had any questions. Far more than we ever expected from this lovely B&B. I was sad to leave this beautiful view the surrounding area of Cork. I will definitely be recommending this accomodation to others.

We really enjoyed our month-long stay at Jerry's place. The kitchen is well equipped and Jerry and his wife were always helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. The host provided enough dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper and even firewood to last our entire stay. The house is in a very quiet and peaceful location in the countryside but still central for exploring both Kerry and Cork counties (having a car is a must).

We had a lovely stay at Riona’s and Paddy’s place. The appartement had everything we needed. Riona was super welcoming and we loved that she baked some fresh bread for us upon arrival. I would highly recommend staying here if you are exploring the Kingdom.

Although the cottage was more remote than we expected, it was quiet and peaceful perfect for a getaway. Nearby towns had the amenities such as restaurants and shops that we needed.Kate’s attention to detail and prompt recommendations were a true bonus. Her welcome basket of foods made it easy for us to arrive late and have a quick breakfast in the morning. Truly a lovely spot.

Our second stay at the cottages in two years which is always a good indication of how at home I feel lhere. If you are looking for a complete switch off, amazing countryside and total chill out... This is the place to do it.

My husband and I had a great stay at Mountain Ash Cottage. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great location, close to Kenmare and the shops and restaurants. Nick was very kind and met us at check-in and provided some suggestions for our itinerary while in the area. Thanks again for a great stay!

Las vistas espectaculares,la casa muy acogedora,la anfitriona muy atenta.Sólo añadiría ,en la habitación principal,en esa entrada pondría adhesivo antideslizante.Pero,perfecto

Très beau cottage très bien situé. Super bien équipé avec notamment des jeux pour enfants et un matelas chauffant!! Nous avons passé un super séjour à Killarney le logement est situé juste en face de restaurant et très proche du centre. Vraiment idéal pour un séjour en famille ou entre amis Merci encore,

Great place to stay and get away! The family completely unplugged. We enjoyed every second there. Note that it is a bit of a drive in (hour from Killarney), so plan accordingly. Scott did a great job of describing the place and location. House was perfect size with all the amenities.
