“We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage, which is set in such a lovely and peaceful area.”

It is close to the beach and local amenities, making it a perfect location for families. The gardens are especially lovely and have clearly been designed with children in mind, giving them plenty of space to enjoy themselves. There is also a beautiful spot where the adults can sit and relax in the evenings while watching the sunset. It was such a peaceful and relaxing way to end the day.

It is close to the beach and local amenities, making it a perfect location for families. The gardens are especially lovely and have clearly been designed with children in mind, giving them plenty of space to enjoy themselves. There is also a beautiful spot where the adults can sit and relax in the evenings while watching the sunset. It was such a peaceful and relaxing way to end the day. The alpacas were absolutely lovely and added something really special to our stay. The owner was also very welcoming, friendly and helpful, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Another great thing about the location is the Lobster Pot, which is only about a two-minute walk from the cottage. The food was absolutely lovely, and the staff and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed eating there and would definitely recommend it. Overall, the whole place is beautiful, peaceful and very family-friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and made some lovely memories. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing family break close to the beach. We would definitely love to return. Five stars from us!

“The owner is a genuinely sweet woman and very accommodating, but the property is outdated, in disrepair, unkept, dirty and generally unsuitable for a rental.”

From the freezer door falling off in your hand every time it’s opened, disgusting mold in every bathroom, abundant spiders, hot water only available during specific times of day, no access to adjust the heat, to the confusing layout, including uneven floors, a single power outlet per room, spotty WIFI (at best) to the rooms added on over the years, skip this place ! There are too many other viable alternatives in the area. Rent at your own risk. Our family discussed leaving and asking for a refund, but decided to tough it out and stay.

“Lovely grounds that were whimsical and fun to explore.”

No view of the water from the home as implied, but there was a view from elsewhere on the grounds. One of the bathrooms had quite a few spiders and cobwebs, but the bigger issue were the windows which were not frosted, had only partial coverings made of lace, and looked directly into another home and could be seen from the courtyard and entryway of the home itself. Overall the home was a fun place to stay with a group and had lots of common areas to hangout, and the kitchen was nice. Accessing the home was easy, but heating is controlled remotely by the homeowner.

“We had such a wonderful stay.”

The house is very spacious with access to stunning gardens. We were a party of 8 and the space available in the house was excellent. The dining area comfortably seated us all. The children absolutely loved it. The fact that the property is gated makes everything feel so secure. The owners are very friendly but not intrusive. We made some amazing memories and are determined to book again at another time.

“We came with two of our daughters and their families.”

..the grandchildren aswell as us enjoyed the experience of staying in this amazing home...the fairy garden aswell as the beautiful scenery is a bonus. Lobster pot just a few minute walk. What a amazing time we had staying here at Ballysheen house.

“Although it is winter, we enjoyed the gardens and was such fun for the children.”

The cottage was cozy and warm and we had a wonderful Christmas there.

“The complex is a labour of love for the friendly owners which can be seen from the moment the secure gates open.”

Ballysheen is a beautiful large and spacious house situated in secure and well maintained grounds. The bedrooms were spaced out and perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well equipped, and large enough to happily cater for a large family. The beautiful clean beach we used was 5 minutes drive away. The secret house and swings were a particular plus, as was the Tennis Court. It is definitely a good choice if looking for a good quality spacious holiday home able to cater for various needs.

“I loved everything about Ballysheen House and its big grounds to explore, with plenty of activities for children of all ages on site.”

It is set in a beautiful countryside area with a great bar/restaurant 5 mins walk away. Would definitely recommend it and will be back some time soon.

“From the moment we came through the electric gates my family fell in love with Ballysheen House!”

The house had everything we needed and more. The age range was 3 to 70yrs and nobody became bored. I would highly recommend and hope to return, if we are lucky enough!

“This was the second time we have stayed at this property.”

We find the location handy for ferry traffic and the house is set within a secured and fenced off area. It is pet friendly and had all the features we needed for our holiday. We would have no hesitation to return the Ballysheen on further occasions. It is also very conveniently close to a pub/restaurant where excellent meals are served.

“We really liked the welcome, the house, the secret garden and the fact there was no restrictions set by the owner so the children had the whole garden to play and it was secure.”

Its a lovely place to go and relax.

“The property and grounds were absolutely fantastic - one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.”

It was child friendly, catered well for a family and extended family. It meant a lot to us that we could bring along the family dog.The property was very spacious,clean and beautifully decorated. The staff and owner were extremely helpful and friendly while allowing us our privacy to enjoy our stay. As a family we had an absolute ball and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ballysheen. We were lucky enough to get great weather which meant we could enjoy the beautiful Carne Beach. We are looking forward to returning next year for a week stay in a little piece of heaven!

“We loved everything about the house and gardens.”

There were 8 of us in the house for the week and we had plenty of room. The house was so near to everything and the standard was very high. We will be back again soon.
