Stay in West Cork

A great space for a family of 6, plus a 7 month old and a dog. This was a fantastic base from which to explore West Cork and Kerry. We really enjoyed our 10 day stay. Highlights included going to Barley Cove beach and Mizen Head. Richard was quick to respond to any queries we had.

Superb

We stayed at Richards property in mid-March 2024. 6 adults and a very active 3-year-old grandson. The house itself was just fantastic, perfect for our needs. Trust me when I say the pictures on the website really don’t do it justice. If you are thinking of booking this property, you will not be disappointed. The property is close enough to Bantry town centre to walk into if you so wish. We used the property as a base to explore West Cork, which is without doubt one of the most beautiful parts of the world you will ever see. Richard was very helpful with recommending local place to eat, events and places to explore.

Great house in Seskin, Bantry

The house was perfect for our group of adults. Very spacious accomodation for our group . Kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed for the week. Lovely garden with decking to the front with outdoor table and chairs. Walking distance to town , and only a few minutes walk to nearest grocery shop. This was so convenient if we forgot something and needed it right away. Very secure property , with other properties close by but not overlooking nor obstructing views. Lots to see and do in Bantry and many scenic drives, tourist attractions in all directions. Our favourite spots were ahakista drive and Tragumna beach. ( watch the Sat nav on this one as we were let to Tailispin Beach by Sat nav).Search instead for Trag beach. Beautiful soft white sand , clear waters and ....a life guard on duty.

You'll Never Stay at a Better Home!

If you've ever stayed at an absolutely amazing place you'll understand why I'm ambivalent about writing this review. I worry that one of you will book it for the dates we want next year--but it wouldn't be right not to give this home an exceptional review, so here goes: My husband and I are retired and very particular about where we stay, since we always stay a month or more. We stayed here from early June thru Mid-July. We've had the luxury of renting some truly wonderful homes thru VRBO. This one is the BEST by far--it's immaculate (thank you Mary!!), spacious and perfect for families. Richard, the owner, and Pat (the property manager), were more helpful than we had any right to expect. Although we didn't have any concerns at all, they checked on us frequently to make sure all of our needs were met. The location was the best--as other guests have said it's an EASY walk into beautiful Bantry, which we believe is the most incredible town in Ireland. We've visited Ireland many times, but Bantry is the best place from which to do day trips to all of the sights of Ireland. It's on Bantry Bay and the shops are quaint and lovely. The townspeople were unfailingly lovely, offering stories of local lore and suggestions for unique places to visit. We fell in love with the whole town. We especially enjoyed the EWE Experience in Glengariff and the many castles and museums scattered throughout the small towns. We tried a lot of the pubs in town and enjoyed them all--we particularly liked the fresh Bantry Bay mussels and any seafood dish. If you have time, take a short ferry trip to Sherkin Island, Garinish Island and Whiddy Island. If you have a few weeks, go to the Skellig Islands as well. It's a longer ferry ride, but well worth it. If you enjoy hiking, you'll be in an ideal location to trek West Cork's many hundreds of well-marked and well-maintained trails. You will never see more breathtaking vistas anywhere in the world. Renting the right home is always a bit of a risky business, but you can be assured that this home will make you happy from the moment you step inside. It's modern, comfortable and beautiful.The yard is spacious and great for outdoor games or dinner on the porch. All 3 of our grown daughters visited us with our 4 grandchildren for a week or so, and we never felt crowded. The photos in this listing don't do this home justice! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them--the owner has my contact information. Thank you, Richard!

Heat wave

Lovely large house, plenty of space of everyone. Easy walking distance to town which was huge benefit as traffic was awful in town due to road works. We were blessed with the Heat Wave and Bantry is easy driving distance to beaches and piers to paddleboard from but an outside grill, bbq would have been nice.. just too hot to cook. Wonderful gateway location to West Cork, Kerry area. Loved our stay.

Spacious property in a great location

All rooms very spacious allowing for teens and adults to do their own thing. Downstairs en-suite bedroom was very useful and the house had everything we needed. A great location being a short stroll into town with good restaurants, bars and shops, lovely quayside and a walk around Bantry House gave stunning views. a great holiday all in all.

A really special home.

This property is even better than all the reviews can possibly imply. Excellent position and really only 5 to 7 minutes to town ! Top communication from manager Pat and owner Richard. Spotlessly clean on arrival with plenty of accommodation and space for our group of 5 . Would easily accommodate 8 . Super large and well equipped kitchen. Warm. Bantry is a really relaxed town . All the shop and restaurant staff very friendly courteous and a lot of good humour. Good family restaurants. Good challenging golf course. Plenty of interesting walkways. Yes this house is all that any group could ask for. We really enjoyed our week’s stay , even if the weather was a little inclement. One of the best houses that I have visited.

Perfect location and great house for a family

We stayed in August, 2 families- 4 adults, 3 children under 4. Extremely clean and well kept property. All amenities thought of, we were very happy and comfortable for our entire week there. Very easily accessible to the town and all attractions are an easy drive away. Richard the owner and Pat are very helpful and easily contactable. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic House

This property is one of the best I have ever stayed in. There is plenty of space and there is a lovely airy feeling in the house. The kitchen comes with everything you could possibly need with a large utility room complete with washing machine & dryer. We had 2 teenage boys with us and they loved their own space in the large room with pool table and football table. There is 2 double bedrooms with their own en-suites and 2 bedroom with queen beds and 1 fold up single bed in one of the rooms. There is a wooden deck with table and chairs at the front of the property which was great as the sun was there for most of the day/evening. It took only 5 mins walk into Bantry town. An ideal base for touring around areas like Glengarriff, Barely Cove, Schull, Sheeps Head, the Beara Way and many other places of interest. Thanks to Pat who was so accommodating to us during our visit and gave us some great tips. I would not hesitate to recommending this house to anybody. Thanks for letting us book Richard. It is a credit to you.

Thanks Richard, pat and Anne Marie for the warm welcome and great stay. We Will return. House is well located, 5 - 7 min walk to the town. 4 well proportioned bedrooms, 2 en-suite so plenty of room for our party of 7. WiFi is a bit patchy but we weren’t using it much as were out and about most of the time.

Fabulous week

We have just returned from a fantastic week in Richard's house in Bantry. Both Richard and Pat were so welcoming and easy to deal with The house itself is fantastic, bright, airy spacious and really well equipped. Comfy beds, great bathrooms and a kitchen to die for. My husband and I were joined on our trip by our three adult sons and their girlfriends plus our cockapoo also travelled!! Space was no prob, there was room for everyone. Bantry is a gorgeous little town, great places to eat, have coffee, lovely shops and brilliant walks. However I have to say Bantry's greatest asset is it's people. We felt so welcome, every single person we met was friendly and chatty. We were given great advice on what to do, where to eat, what walks to do etc great advice which coupled with staying in such a fantastic house made for a brilliant first post Covid holiday. Thank you Richard and Pat, we will hopefully see you again next year.

Glorious week with my teenagers and dogs in this immaculate, spacious and comfortable house perfectly located just above Bantry town. We got the weather which did help as there are numerous places to visit, swim, eat and explore! The photos don’t do the house justice- massive master bedroom and 3 showers so no queues. All in house conveniences. Couldn’t fault it. Would highly recommend.

Great experience

Pat the property manager contacted me at home in Canada before our trip started. He asked if we had any questions or requests and also gave instructions on the route from Cork to the front door of the property. That’s above and beyond and he also came to the property at the beginning of our stay to ensure everything was going well. Great service from a really good ambassador. The house didn’t disappoint. Four bedrooms with one of these on the ground floor and four showers, which comes in handy when everyone is getting ready at the same time. There’s lots of space and three separate areas to hang out in the house so nobody was feeling squished. Bantry is a great little town with lots of places to eat and drink. It’s within walking distance of the house, but for a five Euro cab ride, why walk? (On you way back from one of the pubs, just ask the driver to take you to Richard Dix’s house. He’ll know the way!!). The scenery is fantastic everywhere, just allow plenty of time for travel. Most of the local roads have a 100kph speed limit. That’s just a cruel joke because most of the time you’ll be doing about half that speed. Overall the house and the town of Bantry was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

wunderschönes Haus das viel Platz bietet in bester Lage

Dieses Haus bietet alles was das Urlauberherz begehrt. Wir haben die Zeit in diesem Haus sehr genossen. Die Räume sind großzügig geschnitten und liebevoll eingerichtet. Es machte Spass in der großen Küche zu kochen, zu essen und zu verweilen. Wir (4 Erwachsene und 1 Kind) haben sowohl die Billiardkugeln glühen lassen als auch schweisstreibende Tischfussballpartien ausgetragen. Die in Bantry ansässigen Restaurants und das wunderschöne Bantry House sind fußläufig gut zu erreichen. Vielen lieben Dank auch für den netten Empfang und die Tipps Richard.
