Cottage holiday rentals in County Cork

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.

It was beautiful and we really enjoyed how private it was but how quickly we could drive to Clonakilty!

We had a lovely staying at graces house. Very peaceful and quiet house. Great location alot of things to do in the local area and beyond. House had everything we could need and more. House was very spacious and great for just the 2 of us. The local produce such as milk, ice cream &scones etc was such a nice touch and of course were delicious. Nice to have access to a hot tub whenever we wanted and hot tub was fired up and waiting for our arrival as well as logs to top up if needed.

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

This was a great property. Every little thing had been thought of from toiletries to bathrobes and flip flops for the hot tub. There was a fridge full of food and a table of treats to help us celebrate our birthdays. The location was great with a shop, take away and two pubs all within walking distance. There was also a ruined castle, interesting bridge and old abbey within walking distance so there was enough to do for our short stay without having to drive anywhere. Our host was great even allowing a late check out so we were able to enjoy one last dip in the hot tub. We’d highly recommend this property and are already planning a return trip.

This is our 2nd visit to Trag and it will not be our last. The cottage is equipped with everything you need if you would like to lock yourself away. A lovely kitchen to cook while enjoying the view then a soak in the hot tub again with the amazing view. Skiberreen and Baltimore are a short drive away with some amazing restaurants even Michelin star. Sarah however is a great host easily contactable and there to give recommendations.

we enjoyed Colette’s place to the fullest and were sad we only booked it for one night - the location is stunning, amazing views all around with ponies and cows next door :) spacious apartment with more than everything you could need, made for a perfect holiday :) she even thought about the kids and had some toys ready to play with! All that with super easy and nice combination made it a great experience - Thanks Colette!

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway in this area look no further. We absolutely loved this cottage and the hosts are very nice and helpful. We will certainly return.

An absolutely fantastic weekend in county Cork, and Barbara’s place was the cherry on top - Fantastic host and a beautiful home. Everywhere was spotless, easy to check in and even left us with a few food bits to enjoy, 10/10 host and place - we will be coming back! Cannot recommend enough 😁

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 used Mary’s Cottage as our starting point for the Ring of Kerry. It was a nice place to stay with easy parking and a fully equipped kitchen.

Rose cottage is designed really well, combines an architectural sympathy with the surrounding landscape whilst the simplicity of the uncluttered interior make for very comfortable living.

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

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.

Our stay at Matthew’s place was amazing. The area is very quiet and is perfect to have a peaceful relaxing time surrounded by a beautiful landscapes. Everything was clean and well-equipped. Matthew also gives very good recommendations for restaurants nearby! I won’t hesitate to come back here for a future stay!

Zita’s place was such a joy to experience. Gorgeous little cottage in such a lovely area. Very comfortable beds and lovely hot shower. Great place to switch off after a day of exploring the area.

A wonderful, charming little cottage that gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for. However, it was only a 10 min drive into Killarney. Very friendly host who readily organised an early check in for us and made sure we were comfortable with everything we needed.

Bells Cottage is a magical place right out of a fairytale! Not only is the cottage beautiful, but every detail of the space is thoughtfully and lovingly arranged. There were vases of beautiful wildflowers on the tables when we arrived - we immediately felt like we were at home. The location is also a perfect, peaceful place for exploring the area. Walking the Caragh View Loop trail is an absolute must. The trailhead is a few minutes drive from the cottage and the views are spectacular. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you!

A little slice of paradise! A beautifully decorated traditional Irish cottage with a fab beach walk on your doorstep. Could not recommend Aisling highly enough, a fabulous host who gave us the warmest welcome with fresh scones, eggs, milk and all the necessities to keep us going! We travelled with a toddler who absolutely adored the treasure trove of kid's toys, kept him entertained for the entirety of our stay! Lots of beautiful activities in the vicinity, along with some great restaurants. Will definitely be back again!

This is the perfect place to stay in Cork. We didn't want to leave. It was walking distance from Ballymaloe Cooking School which was the purpose of our trip to visit a friend there. Caroline has the place looking so cosy and even had milk and bread and butter for us to have in the morning.

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.

Nice old cottage, could use some upgrades. Quiet area close to Killarny. By car, it takes about 5 minutes.
