My little piece of heave
This was our 3rd or 4th stay in the property but have been coming to the area for last 15yrs. The house is beautiful with everything you might need. The view is stunning. It is quiet and close to pub and restaurants. The Beara Peninsula has much to offer for all ages. We will be booking again.

Schöner Aufenthalt in einem perfekten Haus
Das Haus liegt in einer einzigartigen Traumlage mit Blick auf die Bucht von Kenmare und das gegenüberliegende Ufer. Das Haus ist sehr schön und modern gebaut. Es bietet mit seinen großen Fenstern nicht nur einen besonderen Ausblick auf das Wasser, sondern auch viel Tageslicht. Die Ausstattung des Hauses lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und hoffen, dass wir bald einmal wieder kommen können. Vielen Dank an Liam, dass er ein so seltenes Objekt vermietet!

Beautiful Location
The property is very well appointed, clean and beautifully located with clear views across the bay and into the West. Add a little sun and you get a perfect hideaway to relax and recharge. It is also easy to get around if you want to explore Kerry and West-Cork.

Rockwell Cottage irische Natur und Gastfreundschaft
Gemeinsam mit Freunden verbrachten wir eine wunderbare Zeit im Rockwell Cottage. Das Cottage liegt in einer wunderschönen ruhigen Umgebung mit Sicht auf das Meer und die gegenüberliegende Uferlandschaft. Der grosszügige Wohnraum, die Schlafzimmer und die Küche sind komfortabel und mit allen notwendigen technischen Geräten eingerichtet. Wir fühlten uns sofort zu Hause und haben an den verschiedenen Aussensitzplätzen mit herrlicher Aussicht. Ein tolles Cottage für alle die etwas Komfort schätzen und die idyllische irische Natur geniessen wollen. Manfred und Freunde aus der Schweiz

a very nice and quiet place
We were looking for a quiet place in the middle of nowhere, and we found it. You have a great view and from time to time a rabbit or dear in the garden. The house is tidy and warm. If you like dark toast, you will test the fire detection system.

A little piece of heaven
This is our third stay in Rockwell and once again we had a wonderful holiday. On arrival the house was spotless and a most welcome coffee,milk,and biscuits awaited....just what we needed after a long journey. Cottage is exceptionally well equipped and the views are spectacular. It is perfectly situated for exploring both Beara Peninsula and Mizen Peninsula. Once again we were blessed with good weather.

Spot for minkwhale watching
Es gibt viele Gründe, dieses Objekt wirklich zu empfehlen. 1. Super Lage auf Beara, in Schlagdistanz zu Helen's Bar, in der Nähe von Kenmare und Castletownbere mit Maccarthys. 2. Jede Menge Wandermoeglichkeiten für alle Fitnesslevel, besonders die Lighthouse Loop auf Bere war toll. 3. Wunderbarer Panoramablick aus Haus und Garten auf den Kenmare River, wir haben Minkwale gesehen 4. Gute Ausstattung im Haus, alles funktioniert einwandfrei 5. Schneller und freundlicher Kontakt mit Liam, dem Vermieter 6. Bequeme und beheizbare Betten, auch wenn wir das gar nicht benötigt haben. 7.Dies, das und Jenes, jedenfalls aber nix zu meckern. Fazit: Perfekt für 2 Personen, vermutlich auch für 4, aber das können wir nicht beurteilen. Vielen Dank für die perfekte Woche. Claudia und Andreas

Lovely holiday
The property was very good and everything we could have hoped for. A little upset that the bushes looking out to the sea were 6ft. high and obscured the view, together with a tree in need of some attention, nothing like in the pictures. Asking you to take the bins down a very steep drive every week would be too much for anyone with mobility problems. We are in our late sixties and really struggled, but we're not prepared to pay the property manager to be called out.

A little piece of heaven
We have been holidaying in Lauragh for at least 10 yrs so it's obvious how much we love it. It is a very quiet location but a great base to see around Beara Peninsula. This is our 2nd year staying in Rockwell and it is undoubtedly the best we have ever stayed in......absolutely spotless, well equipped, beautiful views, and that all Important peacefulness. We are already looking forward to next year.

Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Beara-Urlaub
Unser zweiter Aufenthalt in diesem Haus hat uns genauso gut gefallen wie letztes Mal. Der Ausblick auf die Kenmare-Bay und das dahinterliegende Bergpanorama ist so schön, dass wir erstmal die Sofas zur Fensterfront umgedreht haben. Hier haben wir jedes Wetter genossen. Alle paar Minuten ändert bläst der kräftige Wind Wolken herbei und wieder fort und der ständige Wechsel von Sonne und Schauern hat uns jeden Tag zahlreiche wunderschöne Regenbögen beschert. Besonders gefallen haben uns diesmal wieder Helen's Bar wo man so gemütlich, gut und günstig frischen Fisch und Guinness bekommt, und schöne Wanderungen bei Ardgroom, Eyeries und Garnish. Und nun denken wir schon drüber nach was wir nächstes Mal machen ;-)

Rockwell Cottage is a fantastic rental house. The property is very clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and really generous living space. The bedrooms are a great size with comfortable mattress and plenty of storage space. The house is an excellent spot from which to explore all that Beara has to offer.
