Cottage holiday rentals in Coastal Cottages

My family stayed at Esther's place for 4 nights. We had the most wonderful time! The house has beautiful views of the ocean and is a short walk from both Inchydoney beach and the hotel. The house was clean and spacious with room for the whole family including our dog. Esther was welcoming and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area. We would definitely recommend Esther's place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the beach!

Had a lovely few days away staying in Kate's accommodation. She was very helpful and great to deal with. The accommodation was perfect for a quiet getaway and met all of our needs, would recommend to a friend.

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Absolutely gorgeous place. Really quiet and peaceful.

Gérards place is a must-stay if staying in Clonakilty. We swam every day in the heated pool, played tennis in the afternoon in their private tennis court and walked the local area as well. Stunning grounds to walk as well around the property. 100% would stay again Thank you Connor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Magical Stay for a Very Special Birthday We had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful cottage in Ireland to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The cottage itself is charming, spotless, and incredibly well-equipped — the perfect blend of cozy and luxurious. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with breathtaking countryside views that added to the sense of escape and relaxation we were hoping for. The hot tub was a real highlight — soaking under the stars with a glass of wine after a day of exploring was magical. My mum was thrilled, and it truly made her birthday feel special and indulgent. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay feel personal and welcoming. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, a welcome basket, and helpful local tips made all the difference. They even helped us arrange a few special surprises for my mum, which we’re incredibly grateful for. We couldn’t have asked for a more per

Absolutely beautiful cottage and location with views over a white sand beach where kids can play, great walks in area and very peaceful, would definitely return!

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful location. Barbara is a very friendly, well organised host.

Eileen and Robert were perfect hosts. They could not have been more helpful and the cottage was spotlessly clean. The location was as excellent for touring and our hosts had given us excellent advise of where to visit. This was our first Air B@B and everything was perfect. We will definitely be going back in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kevin's home, the house was as described and the location was great with lovely walks and views from the doorstep. The walk to zetland pier for a swim was the highlight for us, Hopefully we'll be back next summer.

Fabulous location and the cottage so cosy. Helen was a wonderful host.

Mairéad was the friendliest and most helpful host, giving us suggestions of what to see and do, even booking a table at a local restaurant for us. Even more special were the welcoming scones, butter and jam on the table and Mairéad turning up to greet us with an armful of beautiful, freshly cut garden flowers! Jenny the donkey and the local pusscat that joined us on our walks were an added bonus! All in all a lovely, homely cottage in a stunning location… highly recommend!

The most beautiful place and the most accommodating host we have stayed with in Ireland or the UK. They went the extra mile with small gestures to make us feel welcome. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

Colette’s place is stunning and was probably the nicest place we stayed in during our trip. The amenities were amazing and it was well stocked with everything you needed. The attention to detail was on-point. Colette brought fresh baked scones for breakfast- still hot out of the oven and the fresh eggs were amazing. Finding the place was a little challenging, but Colette responded in minutes to meet us and offer assistance. The real downside was finding out we were a week early for the hot tub room opening!! The live stock right outside the door was very cool for my daughter and added to the homey feeling!! Highly recommend!!

Had a most enjoyable stay at Caitlin’s place. We managed to visit Mizen Head and Kinsale to end our challenge of completing The Wild Atlantic Way. The property is thoughtfully prepared, clean and tidy and more than fit for purpose. I would most definitely recommend Caitlin’s property.

The shed is truly such a gem, likely our favorite stop on our Ireland road trip! Riona and Paddy are wonderful hosts. Their space is thoughtful, inviting, and cozy. The bed was very comfortable! We cannot recommend it enough. Stay here if you get the chance.

Bells Cottage is a magical place right out of a fairytale! Not only is the cottage beautiful, but every detail of the space is thoughtfully and lovingly arranged. There were vases of beautiful wildflowers on the tables when we arrived - we immediately felt like we were at home. The location is also a perfect, peaceful place for exploring the area. Walking the Caragh View Loop trail is an absolute must. The trailhead is a few minutes drive from the cottage and the views are spectacular. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Coach House. It is a precious little house right next door to the family home. Both homes are super secluded, so we felt peaceful and calm throughout our visit. Being a gated property, we also felt safe. Parking is always one of my husband’s top concerns when we travel, but there is plenty of space for parking at The Coach House. The bedrooms both have the prettiest round windows as well as skylights. We slept with our skylight open and enjoyed it so much! Our bed and bedding were so comfortable, too! We walked into Douglass Village for supper by using a walking path. It was nice to simply enjoy a walk! The Coach House is the first Airbnb we have stayed in in Ireland. We highly recommend it to anyone wanting a nice place to stay!

Beautiful cottage to add to the charm of an Ireland trip. Away from town with a great view and drive but close enough to town that we still had a great time.

Our 4 day stay was super, stunning location, comfortable bed, fluffy towels, recycling bins, well equipped kitchen. No breakfast but that seems to be the norm. We would happily stay there again.

This is the perfect place to stay in Cork. We didn't want to leave. It was walking distance from Ballymaloe Cooking School which was the purpose of our trip to visit a friend there. Caroline has the place looking so cosy and even had milk and bread and butter for us to have in the morning.

This was such a charming and cozy home! We spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. We joked that it felt a bit like camping - it has all the essentials without being indulgent. For us, it was perfect and exactly what we needed after several travel-heavy days. The space is thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need - tea, salt and pepper, a full kitchen. The bed was a bit firm for us, but my partner is also a giant, so that may have played a role. The host was very responsive and shared loads of great local suggestions. We’d absolutely stay here again!
