“Beautiful house with absolutely stunning views.”

The house was very homely and very well equipped. You have beautiful views from every room in the house and the peace and quiet was amazing.

“The house is beautiful, comfortable, well maintained, it provides everything you need for your stay.”

Fiona, the housekeeper was very informative about the area and facilities within the house when I called a few days before as requested. The views from the house are stunning, thankfully the day we arrived the sun was shining which also boosts the views! Fiona had provided milk, with a jar of Skellig jam and a wonderful loaf of whole meal bread. There was also coffee and tea provided, the kitchen has everything you need for cooking meals, we brought groceries with us for the weekend. The narrow road up to the house from the town was for me the only drawback, it’s not far, maybe 10 minutes? There are very few spaces to pull in to let others pass if necessary but thankfully this wasn’t an issue on our trip. As it was just a weekend we weren’t out and about much but it’s something to bear in mind if you’re staying longer and want to travel around more. Communication with both Fiona and Robert the owner via phone and email was very good.

“Stunning location: side of mountain, less than 10 mins to a local and secluded beach.”

Domenico June 2022

“Stunning house, huge and with a lot of character.”

Spotless and equipped literally with everything you need. We even found a slow cooker, which we love. The view of the sea and the mountains is priceless. Waking up every morning and enjoy the fresh air of the mountains marvellously mixed with the fresh air coming from the sea is pure heaven. Waterville is very near, with broad choice of restaurants, coffe shops, etc. The host was kind and attentive. Most of all we appreciated the privacy, an important aspect to us when we go on holiday. We knew that the host was available for any need though. The only area of improvement is related to beds, which are a bit small, but other than that everything was simply perfect.

“A beautiful, well equipped cottage in a fantastic location.”

Comfortable beds, cosy rooms and everything clean and tidy. A big thanks to the lovely housekeeper who went above and beyond for us too; she was really welcoming and happy to offer suggestions re places to eat etc.

“What a find.”

This property was superb, location, facilities and cleanliness. We had the best time and settled in too well.. we did not want to leave. The views were breathtaking , so much to see and so. The beaches around Waterville are fab. The restaurants namely Dooleys, The lobster bar and The Villamarie all serving the most delicious meals. Thank you so much. We will certainly book again xx

“Fabulous house in Fabulous area would go back there again without hesitation Waterville is just a beautiful place.”

Gemma July 2021

“Amazing location, well equipped and comfortable house that has been decorated with care.”

We particularly liked the friendly cows in the fields opposite! Beaches to die for. Also an incredible ring fort just up the road. Would benefit from a laminated ‘welcome folder’ explaining how house worked eg. wifi code, disposal of rubbish, recommended beaches & restaurants & tours to nearby islands but this is just a suggestion!

Maryvonne December 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would’ve loved to have stayed longer.”

The house was warm, and comfortable. We had everything we needed in the house for our group of 4 adults and 6 children. Fiona was friendly, helpful and hospitable. There were lots of places not open due to the pandemic, but we found everything we needed in nearby Waterville and Cahersiveen. There were also plenty of beautiful beaches and places to go for walks and drives within a close distance. There are so many nearby restaurants in Waterville, so we look forward to returning and trying them out when they are allowed to reopen.

“Perfect for relaxing.”

We were 2 families with 4 early 20 year old ‘children’. The house was fabulous in size allowing everyone to have their own space when needed. The kitchen had everything and more that was required, plenty of towels and tea towels. It had 2 fridges, one was under-counter, the other a fridge/freezer. There is another small fridge out in the garage. The cooker is an ‘aga’ style. All bedrooms had either twin or double beds. Two of them - one upstairs and one downstairs have en-suites. The lounge is very comfortable with a tv that has Netflix, and a cd/radio player too. The views are amazing and it is so peaceful yet 5 minutes sees you on the N70, the main road to e.g. Killarney one way or Kenmare the other. Wish I had been able to stay longer.

“The house was excellent, very well equipped for a family stay.”

It was just a little dusty and the WiFi code was not listed, we got it from the caretaker. Eileen

“This vacation home was the best home away from home!”

We had a group of 9 and loved every minute of our Ireland vacation! Would love to do it again!!!

“Booking was extremely straightforward and hassle free.”

Good communication from Sykes and the owner. Out first time in Ireland and the whole experience was fantastic! Cottage was fabulous with stunning views over Ballinskelligs Bay and the surrounding mountains. Thank you Sykes.

“The accommodation had everything we needed and more.”

The weather of course was superb and the scenery and setting was just incredible. We couldn't have asked for more.

Leila June 2018

“I am in the travel industry and have traveled a lot in Europe.”

The house was very spacious with amazing views - one of the best we've experienced in all of Europe. The only main issue we had was finding it when we first arrived. Directions weren't as clear as they could be. The beds were on the small side (which is what we've encountered everywhere else in Ireland) but we had a comfortable stay. The owner and local housekeeper were quick to respond to our calls and texts. We enjoyed our stay here and were sad to leave! Hope to be back some day.

- Leila, June 2018
Barbora September 2016

“Everything was perfect!”

I'm not sure why is it listed for 8 adults only as it would be perfectly fine for 10 (there are 10 comfortable beds: 8 double beds, 2 twin of a regular size) or even 12 if needed (two large comfortable couches). But there could be slightly bigger table in the dinning area with more chairs. We loved it, nothing is missing there, communication with the owner was nice and easy, the place is just amazing. I would recommand Carraig Oisin to my best friends!

- Barbora, September 2016
Claire July 2015

“We had a wonderful time in Carraig Oisin.”

The house is gorgeous, the beds were so comfy, and everything you could possibly need was already there for us. The view of the sea is beautiful & it was close to many beaches. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

- Claire, July 2015
Olivia September 2014

“The house was very spacious, well-equipped and comfortable for us.”

The two bedrooms upstairs were a good distance apart so that the babies didn't wake each other if they cried. The roads around the house were quiet for walking with the pushchair.

- Olivia, September 2014
Paul August 2014

“An excellent house which was very well furnished, had great views and was peaceful & quiet.”

Had loads of space.

Aisling July 2014

“Carraig Oisin is a fabulous house in a very picturesque location overlooking the Atlantic.”

It was a very relaxing holiday. The house was immaculate and well equipped. It is located beside Lochar Fort & is convenient to many beautiful beaches e.g Derrynane & Ballinskelligs. We would recommend this house to our friends!

- Aisling, July 2014
Sarah June 2014

“Liked the location and views from the house, it was a home from home.”

We have 3 small children and the house was perfect with an enclosed garden, beaches a short drive and a stone fort within walking distance. The weather was gorgeous and views from the house were amazing.

- Sarah, June 2014
