“This cottage is the best I have used in Ireland, the care and thought given by Martha the owner and Mairead who welcomed us and gave us a tour was nothing less than superb.”

We have never felt so welcome before.

“Not sure I was keen on the 'no deposit required' gimmick.”

You still have to pay a large 'deposit' if you subsequently cancel. Felt like a bit of a con. Far too many advertising emails from Sykes. Cottage itself, and value for money, absolutely excellent. A word of advice for UK travellers from Holyhead: Don't get suckered into booking the 'Swift' service from Irish Ferries. It hardly ever runs and is cancelled on the premise of 'bad weather'. For the week we were away, of 32 possible Swift sailings, only 4 actually sailed. You pay extra for Swift and that isn't refundable if cancelled due to the weather, so you just end up paying more for the standard ferries you end up having to re-book on. Needless to say, I have seldom seen the Irish sea so calm on either of our sailing days, so cancelling Swift on the basis of bad weather was laughable. Either that, or the Swift ferry is simply hopelessly unsuited to operation on the Irish Sea. Just book the standard services and save yourself some money and a load of hassle trying to re-book at the last minute. For the week we were away, of 32 possible Swift sailings, only 4 actually sailed.

“A total escape”

This was an amazing treat, the house is nothing short of breathtaking and the views are outstanding, nature at its finest, we were looked after by the owner on the phone and neighbours Karen and Caroline popped in without being intrusive. The house was welcoming and warm when we arrived after a very long overnight journey. We play and sing a little so the acoustics with galleried entrance we perfect !!

“The best house ever”

Writing this on Xmas morn!!!! Should have written earlier as we stayed at this house for a fortnight in sep 15. We have vacationed in houses up and down the west coast of ireland for 20 years and this really was the best ever. The house was amazingly tidy and well equipped, more than we needed actually. The views were fabulous out over the atlantic, but what set it apart from the rest was the care and attention from the houseowner (whom we never met) and the housekeeper. They really were terrific. We managed to explore all the parts of the Beara peninsula we wanted to, and for walkers you have the amazing if tiresome option of walking up the road and onto a lane that takes you through the mountains to Allihies! Coming from Northern Ireland, it is unlikely we will be this far south again, but if you are considering a rental in West Cork, I assure you, Sea haven will not disappoint.
