We found this to be such a cute and spacious bungalow on the hill with an amazing view of the town. Our family felt at home and our hosts were so welcoming. We would recommend this highly as it felt like home with all the homely amenities.Thanks for the memories.

Nice view over the bay of Rosscarbery. The host Margaret made us feel welcome and even baked us an apple pie when it was really bad weather. The house had everything we needed and is situated in a beautiful part of west Cork.

A true Irish welcome from the moment we arrived. Cottage has rustic charm, a bit of TLC needed in places, we had a small leak from roof but only during torrential storm, so I’m sure that was quickly sorted once Storm Amy passed. Clean on surface, but tops of windows etc have a lot of cobwebs. Host used external cleaner, so may be an issue there. We always clean when leaving so managed to remove a few. Host was amazing and offered us he ability to stay on for a couple of extra days free of charge if we needed to avoid sailing back to Wales in the storm. We didn’t take them up on it, but it was a really appreciated offer, we did accept the home baked (delicious) apple pie though. Would definitely book again if coming back to the area

Lovely location

Stayed here July/August 2019. Margaret was a brilliant hostess. House is very spacious and there was more than enough room to move my daughter around the property (she is a wheelchair user). Unfortunately she got ill on arrival and we spent our first week in Dublin’s Temple St Children’s hospital. Margaret was in constant contact with us and showed genuine concern. On our return nothing was too much for Margaret and she even greeted us with a deliscous home baked apple pie. The location is stunning. My wife commented one evening that the view was one “you could never get bored of looking at”. Margaret was very kind and refused to charge us for the electric and heating we had used in the second week. All in all not the trip we planned but can’t fault the property or the hostess. If you want to relax and see West Cork then this is the holiday home for you. Thank you for your hospitality Margaret x

First time in Ireland

Der Ausblick ist herrlich. Man hat das Meer direkt in Sicht. Es gibt gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, vor allem wenn man bereit ist die paar Kilometer bis nach Clonakilty zu fahren. Dort gibt es alles, auch zu günstigen Preisen. Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin ist unkompliziert. Margaret hat uns 2 mal selbstvebackene Apfeltarte vorbei gebracht. Einfach super nett. Das Haus ist funktional, wenn auch ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, aber es ist alles da, was man braucht. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen.

A perfect family holiday home

Margaret presented a homely house in perfect order with wonderful views out to Gally Head. The kitchen was very well appointed with everything you could need and a patio area to the front of the house made entertaining very pleasant. Adjacent to Smugglers Cove activity centre and very close to the centre of thebeautiful village of Roscarberry will lots of activities for all the family, the location is perfect, although the hill is steep, hence the views. The wonderful Warren beach nearby was perfect and the pier for a splash when the tide was high. Lots of good food available locally and a warm welcome everywhere we went made this a holiday to remember. Thankfully the weather was wonderful but when it got cooler there was heat and washer and tumble dryer making life very easy after swims. Thanks Margaret and James for a lovely stay.

Very unclean and misleading advertisement

This holiday home is not all that it seems in the advert. After a 4 hour 30 minute car journey with a 6 year old and a 5 month old we arrived at the house, not as much as a drop of milk to make a cup of tea was available in the dirty, cobweb ridden house. Pieces of food from previous guests was found stuck to chairs, tables, worktops and the sink, the draining board had a scum on the surface and the childs high chair was sticky to touch and caked in old food. Under the sofas in the living room among the dead flies and dust there was a broken christmas bauble and a yellow container from a kinder egg (not very safe when a baby is about). This however was not the worst, on departure we were confronted with a 10 euro electric bill (in the middle of summer and not being in the house from 9am to 6pm every day) for our 6 day stay. As I was getting the money the owner then challenged us about the heating oil, we said we used the heating as we needed hot water to wash the dishes after our breakfast etc, she then 'checked' the meter and claimed we owed 25 euro for heating and said it was 60 cent per litre which means she claimed we used approx 41 litres in the 6 days we were there (6.8 litres per day), I queried this and she then 'rechecked' the meter, then said 'Oh, I think its only 15 euro' a drop of 10 euro in the space of 2 minutes, this was still disgustingly high and extortionate. The adverts also make NO mention of being charged for heating. We left with a feeling of being robbed and shaken down for every last cent, avoid this house at all costs.

PARADISE

We have just had a superb break,at An RADHARC ALAINN,(beautiful view), the best in South West Cork. Very comfortable,double glazed,private and spacious. Thank you Margaret and James,for sharing your property,and making our Irish experience a success. Nothing was too much trouble. We arrived very late as the early Fast Ferry,Holyhead to Dublin, had been cancelled,Margaret left some lovely welcome sandwiches in the fridge,which we devoured with a great cup of Barry's Tea. Margaret came down to the village at 11.30pm,as we did not have sat nav.and led us back to the house.(outstandingly kind. The location,is second to none,a brilliant base for touring South West Cork,and only 3 minutes away from the village of Rosscarberry. We will be returning. Kindest regards, Jonathan and Allison.

The name sums it up

The Lovely View, that's what An Radharc Alainn means in English and the house lives up to it. Lovely light hardwood floors throughout the house and a mix of modern and more rustic furniture. The view of Rosscarbery is stunning, especially at night as you can see the lights reflected on the water. If you're wanting to stay with kids, there's a minigolf course that's right next to it. The airflow in the house is good so it was able to stay a very pleasant temperature even when it got into the 20s outside by just opening windows. There are things you should know if you're booking this. 1) You will not be super close to a big city or attraction. Instead you're near a cute little square and the lovely town of Clonakilty and also pleasant Skibereen(although I prefer Clonakilty. 2)There is a working farm so at times there can be the smell from it. I didn't notice it too often but there were times we could see cows from the living room. I stayed part of the time with my brother and when we called about issues they were addressed fairly rapidly. We were given directions and some food was left for us when we got there, which proved a godsend for the next day as we were both wiped out from being up over 24 hrs. When we got there she explained how to turn on the heating, how the hot water worked, and showed us where everything in the home was. So boils down to, if you're looking for a beautiful home and a lovely slow time, this place is great. It's slow and the worst you'll hear is the laughter of kids and parents playing minigolf. Oh and the tub was such I could lay down comfortably in it and not have to scrunch to fit, and I'm 6'! So that's lovely.

Great location to stay for a family holiday...

First I would like to take this opportunity to thank Margaret for her fantastic hospitality. The first thing we noticed was that amazing view, just wow. Outstanding sea views and a great location for exploring the beautiful Cork coastline. Roscarbery is a lovely little town with a well stocked local shop and great pubs and restaurants. Ronan's bar was our favourite for the hospitality and the food. The colourful Clonakilty is just a short drive away and has supermarkets, shops and restaurants in abundance. The coast is just amazing each corner is a new opportunity for exploration and for making memories. The property is more than adequate for the price we paid to stay for a week. It has all the modern appliances required for a self catering holiday. The only criticism I have is that some of the furnishings may be a little tired but I feel that is reflected in the pricing and did not affect our overall stay in any way. Overall our stay here was wonderful and I would definitely return with my family. Thank you

nice house, good location, suited for family of up to 5 people

we enjoyed our stay, the weather was ok. Rosscarbery is a good location to discover the south west of Ireland between Cork and the Ring of Kerry. the place is very quiet and offers a nice view of the bay. Clonakilty is about 20 min driving distance. Pretty good restaurant in Rosscarbery too (i.e Market House). Car is a must to discover the area. No facilities for bikers (roads are pretty dangerous for bikers).
