Really beautiful spacious home that was perfect for our brief stay in the area. We also appreciated the food and milk that the host provided since the house is a few minutes away from town. Communication from the host was outstanding and prompt, too.
The view! We just loved it. Jenny was super helpful in navigating us to the property, as our GPS didn’t quite have it right. Glad that we arrived before dark! We would love to come back for a longer stay.
Our family really enjoyed staying at this spacious property with an awesome view over the water - sheep in the field beside us bleating peacefully - house is perfect for a family of six - lots of space - and a well equipped kitchen - clothes washer is great but there is no dryer - which should be corrected on the listing - a good clothes line and interior rack for drying - thanks again - lovely spot to stay

Thanks for your great review, thanks for the heads up on the dryer.
Good news: We were able to check-in early. Not so good news: 1) One of the bedroom bathrooms/shower had mold. 2) There were spiders hanging from the kitchen/dining area. My wife watched one about ready to drop on my head!
Lovely stay in this beautiful home with great amenities. I suspect after a long and probably successful summer there’s some touching up needed during the colder months but overall cleanliness was fine and (despite the monsoon weather) we were all cozy.

Lovely spacious cottage with stunning views.
Great base to visit all the beautiful places around the ring of Kerry Highlight include Derrymane beach and the trip around the Gap of Dunlow The cottage had everything we needed would definitely recommend to everyone Nice warm welcome from Elaine got our holiday off to a great start ?
Cute little place. The check in process was seamless. Jamie was easy to contact. They even left out some cereal and coffee for us which was so kind! Rooms were spacious.
We had a wonderful stay at Skellig Bay Cottage! The house was spacious and comfortable and had everything that we needed. The location was perfect for relaxing in front of the views and short day trips to all of the sights. Our favorite part of the house was the large ocean front window. We all took turns sitting in the comfy chairs reading a book or just taking in the scenery of sheep and ocean. Thank you for a great stay in the Ring of Kerry!
The house was really great with a magical view on the bay ! Lots of lanscapes to explore.
Everything was perfect and clean.
Thanks for everything ! Looking forward to come back again.

My husband and I were traveling with our daughter and son-in-law and only stayed only one night due to availability! The location is situated over the Atlantic with pretty views and sheep and goats just down the hill!Its location is close to Cahersiveen, Waterville and Derrynane!The cottage was well equipped! The beds were very comfortable and plenty of living space for all to enjoy!It was raining when we arrived and there was a load of wet laundry in the wash! Didn’t see a dryer so tried to dry that the best we could! With wet weather a dryer would be a great addition!Overall, a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. Would recommend more than one night!

Photos do not do it justice
Exceptional home. Have to see it to really appreciate it. Within walking distance to town. Approximately 35 minutes but along the ocean on the Kerry Way. Stay here, you will not regret it.

Thank you for your comments and I am deligheted you had a great time
I can't imagine a more comfortable and spacious house for the five of us. We never tired of the view of the bay, from the many big windows and from our walks along the little road. The only downside was that it was so pleasant and I was so intimidated by driving that we didn’t head out on lots of adventures like I'd planned!
