Cottage holiday rentals in Heir Island

It’s hard to even describe the beauty of this place, the cottage was perfect and the amenities are wonderful, everything you need to have a great time. The grounds are truly breathtaking, there is a real magic about this property, loved every minute. Gerard and Ann were excellent hosts, thank you!

My family stayed at Esther's place for 4 nights. We had the most wonderful time! The house has beautiful views of the ocean and is a short walk from both Inchydoney beach and the hotel. The house was clean and spacious with room for the whole family including our dog. Esther was welcoming and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area. We would definitely recommend Esther's place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the beach!

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.

I could not recommend a stay at these poolside cottages enough! Great value for money. Ideal for a romantic short break away. The location is perfect and the cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The nearby town Clonakilty is worth a trip to and is easily accessible by car or taxi,

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

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

Gérards place is a must-stay if staying in Clonakilty. We swam every day in the heated pool, played tennis in the afternoon in their private tennis court and walked the local area as well. Stunning grounds to walk as well around the property. 100% would stay again Thank you Connor

Sublime location, charming and comfortable house with a gorgeous view. Katarina is very welcoming. We loved our stay!

Eileen and Robert were perfect hosts. They could not have been more helpful and the cottage was spotlessly clean. The location was as excellent for touring and our hosts had given us excellent advise of where to visit. This was our first Air B@B and everything was perfect. We will definitely be going back in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kevin's home, the house was as described and the location was great with lovely walks and views from the doorstep. The walk to zetland pier for a swim was the highlight for us, Hopefully we'll be back next summer.

The cottage was lovely and their dog (Bear) is delightful.

We stayed in Ritchie’s cottage for 3 nights with a dog and a toddler. Ritchie was very friendly and helpful. The cottage had everything we needed and the surrounding area was so beautiful. Thank you Ritchie for your hospitality!

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

Mairéad was the friendliest and most helpful host, giving us suggestions of what to see and do, even booking a table at a local restaurant for us. Even more special were the welcoming scones, butter and jam on the table and Mairéad turning up to greet us with an armful of beautiful, freshly cut garden flowers! Jenny the donkey and the local pusscat that joined us on our walks were an added bonus! All in all a lovely, homely cottage in a stunning location… highly recommend!

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.

We had a fantastic long weekend in Caroline's place, everything was as described, beautiful house and garden, very cosy and comfortable beds. Great location for exploring West Cork in a very quiet location.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hanna's Cottage. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The furniture and all the little touches really create an atmosphere, we found we did not want to leave and just enjoyed watching the view and the boats on the water. The cottage is beautiful and warm and cosy. We went for a lot of walks in the area, its really beautiful there and a lot of nice places to visit. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake! :)

Absolutely loved staying at Karin's place! The attention to detail was truly impressive - from the thoughtful welcome treats to the carefully curated amenities, it was clear that Karin had put a lot of love and care into creating a special experience for guests. The space itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. Karin was also super responsive and accommodating, making the whole stay feel seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay - thanks Karin for a wonderful experience!

There are literally know words to describe the beauty of this place I almost think it’s to nice to be shared with other people. The Hosts were extremely patient with me and my party…due to a motorcycle breaking down we arrived (very late) but the host was very understanding and very helpful. I would 1000% recommended this stay, and I my self would love to come back at a later date and have more time exploring the beautiful sites. many thanks Lewis !

Our stay in “ Cosy cottage retreat “ was special. It is near everything and short distance to all the local beauty spots. Above all that, it is in a beautiful place and so private . Inspiring and memorable. Dominic is a super host and always available and contactable. We will stay with Dominic again. A1. Phil and John

Beautiful house with access to Broadstrand Beach just steps away. Loved the quaint, historic nature of the cottage, perfectly restored. Dyane was very responsive and provided lots of info. The village is very close. Dinner at The Lifeboat is a must. The cottage has a Nespresso machine and pods were available in the Centra in Timoleague. Would definitely stay again.

A very special house in a very special location on an island that will quietly steal your heart. The peace settles on you gently over the days spent in this beautifully designed house with everything at hand that you need. So close to the red walking loop that within 15 mins you are on the cliffs with magnificent views. Liam could not have been more accommodating as a host.

Wow, wow and wow. It way exceeded our expectations and just loved it . Spotless clean and lots of extra things that made our time extra special. Made to feel very welcome and wound highly recommend this place
