Fuschia Cottage

Fuschia cottage is the gateway to all the Ring of Kerry attractions, beaches, Forrest, mountains, lakes, then to come back to a wood burning stove and delightful accommodation!

Fuschia cottage is a cottage with character lovely gardens (yes plural!) with Bernie and Derry who went that extra mile to ensure our stay was much more than we could have wished for - and being dog/friendly - well our two sure made the most of their holiday!

We had a really lovely stay at Fuchsia Cottage, set in a scenic location on the stunning Ring of Kerry.

The location is ideal for exploring the Ring of Kerry, with great walks, stunning beaches, and picturesque villages all within easy reach. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we slept soundly in the peace and quiet of the countryside. A special mention must go to our host Bernie, who gave us a really warm welcome and was incredibly helpful and close by - without being intrusive - with local recommendations. We would highly recommend Fuchsia Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a truly beautiful part of Ireland.

Despite the appalling weather, we enjoyed our short break at this charming and comfortable, beautifully located cottage with well kept surrounding gardens, (lots of wild fuchsia) and a fabulous view.

Peaceful and quiet, the hosts, Bernie and Jerry are delightful, warm, helpful and great representatives of this stunning part of Ireland.

We were greeted with a warm welcome from Bernie and Derry.

The cottage was perfect for us and much better than the photos on the website. It had everything for a vert comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, the furniture was well laid out and cosy, the beds were very comfortable, the shower power was good. Our 2 young dogs were happy as they had lots of room to roam around the gardens and it was safe for them. The location of the cottage was ideal for exploring The Ring of Kerry. Overall a truly wonderful experience - lovely to wake up in the morning and potter and great to unwind in after a long day's adventure. Thanks Bernie and Derry.

The cottage is situated in a beautiful quiet scenic area, wonderful views.

Beautiful gardens surround the traditional style cottage and it is very well maintained. Very clean and well equipped and tastefully decorated . We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

A lovely cottage, very peaceful and out of the way.

The hosts were welcoming and helpful. The only slight criticism was that the length of the walk to town was not highlighted. It was doable but along busy roads.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two week vacation at Fuschia Cottage in Waterville.

Bernie and family were most welcoming, and were there if we needed any assistance whilst allowing us to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the beautiful surrounds. Fuschia Cottage is best described as a home from home, beautifully designed and reminiscent of the traditional Irish cottage, with an equally beautiful mature garden to enjoy...and ideal for family pets to enjoy freely. I would highly recommend this host and cottage for a relaxed, comfortable and friendly location to holiday.

We had a great time.

Lovely warm welcome for us and our 2 dogs

We loved our stay at Fuschia Cottage!

It felt like home the minute we arrived. Immaculately clean with a huge well-equipped kitchen. Very private location, great countryside views and all the amenities. Bernie and Derry are lovely hosts.

A lovely stay in the most beautiful of areas.

We would recommend a visit to the breathtaking Ring of Kerry to anyone. Fuchsia Cottage is a really nice spot a little way out of town. We had a bit of an issue with the plumbing but the owners responded very quickly. The beds are amongst the most comfortable we have ever slept on. There were a couple of basics missing (casserole dish, cheese grater) but otherwise the cottage provided everything needed for a great break.

We really loved our stay here the cottage was outstanding and the owners were such lovely people

Had a lovely stay at Fuchia Cottage.

Beautiful setting, plenty of space for dogs and very safe. Bernie was very helpful and we wanted for nothing. Would definitely consider a return visit.

Spent a lovely week at this wonderful cottage tucked away on the hillside overlooking the mountain range and the sea.

Was a great location just 1 mile from the beach and with the fortunate weather we had we were able to enjoy it to the full. Big plus for us was that we were able to bring the dogs with us. We will return.

Fantastic property, ideally suited to our needs and very accommodating hosts.

Very nice and central to our needs.

We had a wonderful stay with super hosts.

We were made feel very welcome as was our two dogs. Would definitely recommend.

Fuschia Cottage is warm and welcoming - a reflection of its lovely hosts Bernie and Derry.

Its location on a height affords wonderful views and is an ideal base for exploring both the coastal and inland delights of the Iveragh peninsula.We thank our hosts for a marvellous week in spite of the less than perfect weather - always the sign of a successful rental. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, none more so than our dog Riley. D, B and N Rankin

Yes make your customers aware that the price of the cottage may change ie it may go up or down.

I presumed what I saw when I booked was your final price ie you have low, mid & high season pricing. I booked the cottage in March 2021 and then the price dropped by nearly £200 for June. Every time I have tried to call it takes over 30mins to answer the phone, this is very poor customer service. There is no email on your website either, when I finally did get to speak to someone re your pricing he did give me an email address to send my complaint on. I'VE STILL NOT HEARD BACK, again very poor service. I then try again to notify you that we had 2 people coming to the cottage but as there's no option to update online, you have to call. I gave up after waiting 40mins on the phone, there is obviously a problem with your communication service. The cottage was lovely and the owners were very helpful. I look forward to your response.

First of all an apology.

... for not submitting feedback until now! Fuschia Cottage is an absolutely perfect location for a relaxing holiday! It's central location means you can reach all the attractions 'The Ring' has to offer without rushing around and missing anything; we were able to savour lazy lie-ins, relaxed breakfasts and still spend the a good deal of the day indulging ourselves with long walks with the dogs and feeling overwhelmed with the stunning views that filled our eyes and hearts with wonder. Then bimbling 'home',normally being met by Ben & Laddie bounding towards us with a huge doggy grins. Bernie & Derry are the nicest couple you could hope to meet, full of warmth, cheer and they can have a rightful pride in the cottage for what it gives to those that stay there. Fuschia swallows you up with warmth and comfort, inviting you to relax and escape the rat-race of day to day life. So much that there was a tinge of regret when it was time to leave and we bade our farewells and drove away. Most holidays sometimes feel as if they are over as you leave a place, but this was one of those times that the feeling of utter relaxation stayed with us for days afterwards, even though we both where back at work within 48hrs. (My boss had to work hard to get the serene look off my face) Bernie mentioned that next year could be the last season that they will be renting Fuschia out, if that does turn out to be the case, we would heartily recommend that people take the opportunity to book the cottage and enjoy what so many others have enjoyed over the years. You will not be disappointed. Coral, Steve, Jazz & Todd

We received a very warm welcome from Bernie and Derry who were also a great support during our stay.

We loved Fushia Cottage, a homely cosy cottage in a lovely relaxing setting. The cottage contained everything that you would need in order to support a comfortable stay. The winding staircase is a great authentic feature in the cottage but may be difficult for those who would need support using stairs for example the elderly or young children. We are a family of three, highly recommending Fushia Cottage, we loved staying there, with plans for returning next year!!

Fuschia cottage is in a beautiful location on the outskirts of Waterville town.

We really enjoyed our stay.

This cottage is an absolute gem!

! Excellent location for exploring the Ring of Kerry. The cottage had great facilities and very clean. The surrounding gardens were perfect for us and our dog. It was well set back from the road so we had no issues with letting our dog out to round about off lead. Cottage had a dishwasher and washing machine which was an added bonus and bed and shower were great. We would definitely consider rebooking in the future if we were to head back to Co. Kerry. Our hosts, Bernie and Derry were lovely and nothing was too much bother. Overall we had a fantastic stay in Fuchsia Cottage

It was one of the most enjoyable holidays we've ever had.

The cottage was spacious, well-equipped and comfortable and Derry and Bernie were extremely welcoming and helpful. The sunshine helped of course but Kerry really is beautiful. Visiting the Skellig islands was quite expensive but worth it for the close-up views of the gannet colony and the seals. A walk round Loop Head was well worth the effort with its dramatic cliffs, wild flowers and birds. We saw a White-tailed eagle over the Upper Lake of Killarney National Park and we found Derry Nane Bay with its dunes and expanses of sand delightful.

We were given a warm Irish welcome by our hosts, Bernie and Derry.

The cottage is on an elevated site with extensive views looking towards mountains. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, homely and the comfortable beds ensure a good night's sleep. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, the coastal scenery, spectacular, the people charming and the seafood for which the area is renowned is great. Derrynane Beach, The Ballinskelligs Ring, Valentina Island have great views and walks. Towns and villages are well-cared for and tidy.

Comfortable everything we expected Friendly welcoming couple

Magnificent location on side of mountain .

5 mins from centre of waterville with great restaurants and pubs. Throw in one of the best sea trout /salmon lakes in Europe and you have heaven. Highly recommended.

A very nice cottage in a quiet location with the added benefit of two bathrooms.

The owners have a holiday cottage tagged on in the former barn. The directions need updating as the “No Shooting” sign has been replaced by one saying “Fuschia”. Some smaller crockery such as a casserole dish and a small Pyrex bowl would be useful if there are two people staying.

Beautiful cottage.

In a perfect spot. We were both really happy with it. The pictures on the site dont do it justice. Wonderful stay in fushia cottage. We hope to return soon.

Fuchsia cottage was a brilliant space to relax for us - Bernie and her husband were wonderfully welcoming, and it was nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful weather in such a gorgeous location.

Our young son and our dog were able to just run around outside and have fun and the location is very convenient for day trips exploring Ballinskelligs and the Ring of Kerry. The beds were extremely comfy, always important on a holiday, and the whole family was able to have fun and relax.

Beautiful secluded cottage fantastic view and lovely hosts and an ideal base for the area with excellent beaches nearby

Bernie and her husband, very welcoming, cottage perfect for what we needed.

Great location for exploring Kerry, beaches one side, mountains behind. Would happily stay again.

Bernie was wonderful.

We had virtually no water in one shower, but she said she checked with a plumber and it would be fixed after we left. I hope so.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Would have been nice to have connected Wifi, rather than a pay as you go modem and a hair dryer. Apart from that a very enjoyable stay and very nice owners that live next door and where very helpful.
