“Thanks for providing a great bungalow cottage with fabulous views.”

Everything was provided for, I had taken a few utensils and extras like cling film etc. but no need, everything was straight forward to use and the decor was very well thought out and tasteful. Albeit the shower washing machine and ironing board could do with an upgrade but all worked fine and having a separate freezer was a big plus as many places we’ve stayed in just have a small part of a fridge The cottage was spotless and beds comfortable, the kitchen was well sized and conservatory ...

“A wonderful cottage, in a stunning location.”

The cottage was beautifully clean and very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for a great stay. I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know who is thinking of a holiday in Ireland, I loved it.

“What a wonderful cottage in a stunning location.”

Great hosts who had lit the fire and left some yummy scones. Very spacious, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and amazing views from every room. The whole of kerry is made of spectacular scenery I’d be back in a heartbeat, and would definitely recommend.

“John and Mary were fantastic hosts, we were greeted by Mary and some lush scones and jam.”

The fire was roaring and she was very welcoming . Mary saw that our mothers mobility is very poor and her and John went out of their way to make her stay even more comfortable. The property was extremely clean and inviting and it had absolutely everything you would need on a 2 week holiday. The views are stunning actually breathe taking! ( even though we had poor weather our first week). Our hosts were so hospitable they even visited us on our final evening for a chat. They are two beautiful people and find nothing is too much trouble.

Mark September 2021

“Brilliant location.”

Comfortable and well-equipped house. Lots to explore in the area. One or two niggles. Directions to the property were dreadful, and lacking in every detail. No little book of instructions about the house, and where to find things etc. Payment for electricity and oil at the end of the stay added an extra 50 euros to the cost, and we would have been far happier to pay an all-inclusive amount rather than having to find the extra at the end. Domestic refuse had to be put into separate bags and taken to the Community Centre. Normal black bags were not accepted. You had to pay 5 euros for a special one. Why was there not even one of these provided in the rent ? Finally, there was nothing to alert us to quite how long the journey was from the port. OK we could have worked it out... but the distances involved were very considerable, and just a hint about that would have been helpful.

- Mark, September 2021

When speaking to the holidaymaker a few days before arrival to Ireland I emphasized to him the length of the journey to our cottage from the port, this is something I make sure to do for all clients as it's a long journey and then can be expected. Also, I give clear instructions as to the local directions to the property once reaching the village and also to ring us if any confusion. Also, it is very clear in booking conditions of Hogans website that oil and electricity is extra to rental and is metered, Thank you. Property Owner

Darren August 2020

“The location of the cottage is breathtaking.”

The view from all the front rooms was amazing and I will miss it. Waking up to a view of the lake & Kerry mountains is truly relaxing. The cottage itself was so well equipped with all our needs covered. The master bedroom could do with a king size bed but that's being picky. The owners were very helpful and had a little welcome pack all ready for us when we arrived. The sitting room is very comfortable and great for relaxing in front of an open fire after a long day of visiting all the local beauty that this area has to offer. I will definitely be returning to this beautiful cottage.

“Lough Currane in County Kerry was absolutely superb.”

It was our second time there. The host was fantastic, the spot was just beautiful and sykes has never let us down on any cottage rental. We will certainly recommend both Sykes and Lough Currane Cottage to others. Fantastic holiday. Thank you.

“Beautiful cottage in great location Had all the amenities/equipment required it was like home from home.”

Outstanding views and very relaxing. Waterville approx 1 mile away with pubs & restaurants. Drive the Ring of Kerry is a must to take in the stunning scenery. I would highly recommend this cottage any time of year.

Dermot April 2018

“This is a lovely home set up on high with lovely views over the lake.”

The house is clean, spacious and comfortable. The owners were extremely helpful and Mary, in particular, was very kind and empathetic to my wife who suffers from MND and found the first days travel to Waterville from the UK extremely arduous, as we arrived in the area in pitch black rainy weather, we could not locate the house in the dark and they came and led us up to it. Three observations though, I am not sure that charging for fuel at such a high rate is fair to visitors in the non-high season, personally, I would prefer this to be part of the upfront price as visitors in high season would normally attract better weather and would not require as much heating and lighting. !30 Euros for two weeks was a bit of a shock, considering that we used it on the timer. Point two is that the TV is only terrestrial program channels, which are fine for Irish visitors but for many others, I suspect like us not what you would expect in this day and age. A version of Freeview would have been nice. We had to rely on watching old DVD films which were provided. Finally, it would be nice if there were a few food trays to use for meals, having to eat at the table is not always convenient. That said, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable stay at the house and would heartily recommend it to prospective holidaymakers. Kerry is beautiful and Waterville, in particular, is a great base for exploring the many sites. Great food at reasonable prices in most places, in particular, we like the 'Village Kitchen' in Sneem. Also, a pint or two of Guinness at the Butler arms hotel is a must each day :-) Charlie Chaplin stayed here on his many holiday visits to Waterville.

- Dermot, April 2018
Brian April 2018

“The cottage was exactly as advertised and the owner John very helpful in all ways.”

When we arrived The fire lighting, the flowers and the waiting scones and jam were all lovely extra touches that made the cottage feel like a home from home. As the weather was cold and wet the first few days John dropped up some turf for the fire which was much appreciated. The location was beautiful and wild all at the same time. No hesitation in recommending this cottage and it's owners to anyone. We have holidayed in kerry many many times but can say this cottage was the best we have stayed in. We will definitely hope to visit there again. Ten out of ten.

SHARON June 2015

“A fantastic cottage with beautiful views across Lake Currane to mountains.”

Located close to Waterville, and Kerry Way was on our doorstep, a perfect location to explore the Ring of Kerry and Dingle peninsula etc. Currane Cottage was superb with ample room for a family of seven. We could not have been happier with whole package and will be returning next year. What a great find and very reasonably priced.

- SHARON, June 2015
Carla & Ken May 2015

“A nice and quiet location.”

The property is very large and bright with big windows and stunning views. The owners had provided lots of very useful leaflets and brochures on the locality and places of interest. Well recommended.

Paul January 2014

“A perfect home from home.”

The owner could not have been more helpful, especially in supplying fuel. Warm and cosy cottage, especially in January. View from cottage over the Lough is unbelievably outstanding and visits from a hare early every morning in the garden was charming.

- Paul, January 2014
Caroline November 2013

“It was mid November when we stayed and early evening when we arrived so the directions were good and the outside lights left on to guide us in was great.”

We were welcomed by a lovely fire lit in the kitchen diner (great that Turf and logs were include in the rental), scones and tea on a tray but it didn't end there...later as we put our travel weary bodies to bed there was a hidden gem... a hot water bottle fantastic! The views from the cottage are fantastic and change as the sun rises, then rests over the Lough before setting in the evening.Thank you to the owners for making our stay so comfortable and giving us the break we so much needed.

Maureen June 2013

“On arrival there were scones, butter, jam & tea awaiting us and the stove was lit in the kitchen.”

The weather was excellent. This house overlooks a large lake and there are exceptional views from every front window. We were in touch with the owners before and during our trip to Waterville. Once we arrived in the house they made sure we were settled in and then the house was ours for the week. They never imposed on us and we did not meet them again until the night before we vacated the property. It was the most relaxing holiday we have had for a long time.

- Maureen, June 2013
Susan May 2013

“Stunning location.”

The cottage setting really maximises the views across the lough. Real imagination shown in having the master bedroom at the front of the property with a patio door. One can sit in bed with a cuppa and drink in the view. Loved the people! Almost without exception they were friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to be helpful.
