About this property

Cottage with sea views in Glengarriff, West Cork, Ireland

A country cottage near Glengarriff, near Bantry Bay, South-west Ireland, set in 5 acres of dramatic landscape on the Beara Peninsula. Sleeps 4 with 2 bedrooms. The cottage is situated within the warming Gulf Stream that comes down Ireland’s west coast. Only 90 minutes drive from Cork airport or ferry terminal, Lough Avaul is an ideal holiday location for those who want peace and quiet. It is also accessible from Kerry Airport by driving over the Caha Mountains.
Overlooking Seal Harbour and itself overlooked by the Cahas, The Cottage is conveniently situated 3 miles from the friendly small town of Glengarriff, with its shops, pubs and restaurants. There is a trout lake (Upper Lough Avaul) within 500 metres of the cottage. It is only a short walk down the hill to nearby Seal Harbour, where a rocky headland stretches out to the ocean, and bathing is possible from rocks and a small shingle beach at low tide. Seals can sometimes be seen. The weather is pleasant throughout the region and there are many sandy beaches nearby for summer bathing.

Fantastic location, very comfortable stay
We have had a lovely few weeks at the cottage. Spotlessly clean when we arrived, it had everything we needed, from enough cooking utensils, dishwasher etc. to loads of linen and towels. We were held up due to flight delays and our hosts even left us some eggs etc. when they realised we weren’t bringing a car with us. The weather was stunning for most of our stay and even when we couldn’t go out , the views from all windows are spectacular. We decided not to hire a car, which was the best decision we could have made. Local taxi driver Peggy took us everywhere we needed to go and we learnt so much about the local area from her. She knew the best beauty spots too! This is truly a spectacular part of Europe, scenic and remote with beautiful food and people couldn’t be friendlier! There were times we had to insist on paying! Our only suggestions would be a better fridge and stronger internet.

Perfectly decent, budget, no frills stay
The house was slightly further out of Glengarrif than the map showed, so nowhere in walking distance to shop or eat, but to compensate there was a lovely view from the twin bedroom over Seal Harbour. The accommodation was basic, but plenty of hot water and warm. The area is fantastic, lots of places to visit within an hour, the scenery is gorgeous and the people very friendly.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family has owned this holiday home for over 20 years. Over the years we have enjoyed many visits to Glengarriff and now we return with our children who love exploring the Irish coast.

Why they chose this property

The cottage has wonderful views and it benefits from the warming jet stream. The sea air is so refreshing, we all sleep so soundly. My favourite place to visit is Garnish Islands, the gardens are beautiful and you normally see seals sunning themselves on the rocks.
