“Second year staying at the property and just as good as the first.”

A fantastic cottage, just a short distance from the beach. Clean property, just as described and a very responsive host. Would thoroughly recommend.

“Ferry's is the perfect location for a quiet break short or long.”

Tina is an excellent host and always on hand to provide assistance to making a stay comfortable and enjoyable. There were a couple of issues with the accommodation requiring a call out from them and electrician. It was handled quickly efficiently and provided alternative heat while repair was made to heating switch. The area is breathtakingly beautiful and the location very close to beach and good amenities on route to get supplies. I highly recommend a stay anytime of year. I have visited at different times each one has consistently been same high standard. Thanks to Tina and Noel for wonderful hospitality.

“The Ferry's is an excellent cottage in an ideal location.”

Everything that was expected with the accommodation was present and correct! It has a lovely area for sitting outside and being able to view the sea and beyond gave the accommodation that extra excellence! The Ferry's is an ideal place for exploration of the area and a restful location if that is required. We will be back! Barry

“The owners were very friendly & welcoming.”

We only used one bedroom but our bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The central heating system was fabulous and within half an hour the cottage was lovely and warm. Similarly, there was plenty of hot water. The new walk-in shower was excellent but clients need to put a bath mat down as the bathroom floor tiles are very slippy when wet. The kitchen was very well-equipped. Had we been using all 3 bedrooms I think we would have found the lounge too small and we also thought that it was quite dark. The cottage is situated in a perfect location for visiting the local area. Portsalon beach is truly stunning. This was our first trip to Ireland and we loved it.
