Felt Like Family

Mike and Gillian’s cottage was lovely and homey. We stayed there 10 days and even though the weather was poor and neither me nor my husband were feeling very well (we had to go to the doctor in town to get antibiotics eventually) we rested and recuperated - sitting in the sunroom looking out at the beautiful scenery was perfect for both body and soul. By the time we left there we were raring to go on the next part of our trip. The hosts were super responsive to all our needs. The sheep were calming to look at. The town had good restaurants and stores. There was even an Aldi’s in town. The cottage was close to town but far enough away to feel you were in the country. This is a spectacular part of Ireland and we were very pleased that we chose this place. Thanks to the O’Connor’s!

Home Away From Home

Gillian & Mike are amazing hosts - always available, friendly, helpful - more like family than hosts! This house is one of 4 on the property (including Gillian & Mike’s own home) but you are very far apart with your own yard and space so it’s very private. Waking up to stunning views of the ocean, hillside, castle/ring fort and of course sheep made for a picturesque holiday that we’ll never forget. It’s an older home, but been kept up very well. Plenty of space for a family and room to work. Wifi was good enough for video conferences & streaming movies. Washer and Drier in the house, as well as a drying line outside, made laundry easy. The property is nonsmoking which was great - no horrible stall smoke smell lingering about. Gillian & Mike - their whole family actually, really made our holiday perfect, you won’t find better hosts!!!

Super Ferienhaus

Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen. Als Familie mit 4 Kindern war genug Platz, auch darum im Garten und auf dem Hof war genug Platz zum spielen. Die Küche war ausreichend eingerichtet und bot Möglichkeit zum Kochen. Hervorragend war die Lage um die wunderschöne Gegend und den Ring of Kerry sowie den Skellig-Ring zu erkunden. Am meisten erfreuten wir uns an dem Ausblick am Essenstisch, wir werden noch lange daran denken! Vielen Dank an Gillian!

Beautiful home in an ideal location

Gillian and Mike were lovely hosts and made us feel very welcome yet we had our privacy. We loved our 2 week stay and didn’t need to travel far to enjoy our day. Coming home to the house perched on the hill with stunning views always amazed us. Very comfortable beds and a large living room couch to enjoy tv together. A super holiday to cherish.

Even better than it looks

This is a really nice house in a great location for exploring Co Kerry, with an absolutely amazing view. Honestly, the pictures don't really do it justice. It's extremely clean, has everything you probably would need, and the owners are extremely nice. They live one house away, so it's very convenient to check in or talk to them if you have questions, etc. And their recommendations were terrific! We had a wonderful time and have already recommend the house to some friends!

Beautiful views...but missing the love.....

The cottage is in a truly wonderful location on a hilltop, a stones throw from the Atlantic and (when it is not raining) affording sensational views. Throughout the process of booking the owners were more than flexible and friendly, and kindly stayed up despite our late arrival. The property itself is comfortable and well sized, but after a few hours the details sink in, and this is what makes the difference between a building that is rented out to make money and a home away from home. Things we noticed and would recommend attention: 1. The property is described as ‘newly renovated’ - it is not new. More like “ at some stage in the last 5 years’ - it is simply now too long since it was done to be described as such 2. Only upon arrival do you realize that even hot water out of the bathroom taps and kitchen sinks is electrically heated = you pay on top, for what is arguably a basic necessity. That you just pay for heating and hot water in a shower is just about Ok, but from a kitchen? And do not forget the rent is already on the healthy side of upper medium for Ireland... 3. with that in mind, despite a late arrival we were welcomed with no hot water. This cold water greeting left us feeling that this was intended to be more of a business than a passion and anything we want, we pay. We have been to many cottages that showed more heart than this, it was a cold shock (pardon the pun) 4. Poorly thought through on the details. No towel rails of any decent size that can hold more than one towel. How 6 people in this house dry their towels after a shower in bad weather is beyond me. No space to hang tea towels in the kitchen 5. Poor cleaning...look at the details...disgusting toilet brushes, beginning of mold around windows.....it needs some love 6. No mirror in one bathroom at all! No space to put anything from your toiletries anywhere in either bathroom 7. The dining table is wobbly and is almost impossible to eat off of I am aware that this sounds pretty bad. It is not, they are details, but enough that some may be disappointed when it is so easy to fix. I could not recommend staying here but that is my personal tast...others I am sure will be more than happy

A lovely house, great hosts in a quiet part of Ireland

We, a family of 5, spent almost a week in this lovely cottage amongst a lot of sheep. We went swimming at the many beaches and for walks in the lovely countryside. Gillian and Mike were great hosts. We can recommend this cottage to everyone .

Hervorragendes Ferienhaus in dem man sich gleich wohl fühlt. Ein kleiner Wintergarten mit Blick auf Valentia Island lädt dazu ein mit einem Tee / Whiskey die tolle Aussicht zu geniesen, während hinten das Kaminfeuer knistert. Der perfekte Ort zum Entspannen - gerne kommen wir wieder.

Comfortable and quiet with outstanding views from every window in the cottage. Would recommend it highly to nature lovers like myself who also love to travel. The coastline in this area was dramatic and exploring it was amazing. Gillian and Mike are great hosts and we hope to visit again.

Sehr schöne Lage in Kerry

Wir waren mit unseren Kindern (2 und 4 Jahre alt) für 1 Woche in Cahirciveen. Das Haus hat eine ideale Lage für Ausflüge in die Umgebung Ring of Kerry mit all seiner Schönheit , Killarney Nationalpark, Valentia Island oder Ekelig Michael. Und alles im Abstand von max. 1h. Die Kinder haben sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Auf dem Anwesen gibt es eine kleine Wanderung auf einen schönen Aussichtspunkt, auf dem Weg viele kleine Fairy Häuschen, die Kinder haben es geliebt. Und wir auch. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Beyond spectacular

It is beyond the scope of my words to describe the natural beauty of this property. The view, the sheep, the border collie, the friendliness of the town and the hosts, the comfort of the house, the surrounding day trips. At first it seems like 7 days is too long. At the end of 7 days we were so sad to leave and return to Dublin and the hustle bustle. Do not hesitate to enjoy a week with the O’Connors.

Fantastic family vacation home

The location and comfort of this home exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed watching the sheep and cows in the fields with the picturesque background of the town of Cahersiveen, Medieval ruins, and the water. The house was clean, the kitchen is spacious, the beds were comfortable, and we loved the sunny dining and sitting rooms. The owners were friendly, accommodating, and respected our privacy. It was our first trip to Ireland and the location allowed us many activities, including a fantastic visit to Skellig Michael island (book early!) and hiking and outings to the Kerry Cliffs, Killarny National Park, and Dingle.
