“We managed to find the cottage in the end - it's well tucked away (though that was great - just what we wanted).”

The owner and her dog are both extremely welcoming; the accommodation is clean and comfortable, and we had free access to the huge, lovely garden. It's in a beautiful part of Ireland and well placed for access to Skibbereen, Bantry and the stunning coastline.

The house is off the beaten track and has beautiful, well maintained gardens. Noreen, the owner is the perfect host - we really enjoyed chatting with her.

“I had a fabulous stay at Ocean View.”

Noreen was so lovely & helpful. The garden is huge great for dogs with a lovely table to sit at with an incredible view. The cottage although quite remote has a wonderful drive to it right along the stunning waters edge. It’s location is perfect for exploring west Cork whilst also being away from it all making it an idyllic private chill out home from home.

My stay was comfortable and great value for money.

Robert September 2013

“It was comfortable, the owner was very pleasant and helpful.”

- Robert, September 2013
Nancy June 2013

“The cottage was much better than we expected - the photograph of it doesn't do it justice.”

Everything you could need was supplied. The proprietor was very nice and friendly, and although she lives beside the cottage, was unobtrusive. The location was perfect - out in the country. And although a few miles from the nearest town, it is quite central in the South West, so within a reasonable distance to all the tourist areas in either direction. The cottage is also at the end of a lane, has a large garden (well kept) and yard, and so is safe for children and dogs. It is also an ideal spot for leisure cycling as the wee country roads are definitely not busy. We really had a great time at Ocean View.
