The Penthouse Apt at Harveys Dock
The apartment, was spacious, clean and tidy. The views from the balcony were stunning. Watching the sun rise and set over the Blackwater river was the perfect start and end to the day. Close to supermarkets and the main shopping and restaurants. Will definitely, return to this apartment in the future.

Panoramic Two-bedroom Penthouse
We had a lovely stay at the penthouse which has beautiful views of the sea from the balcony. The place was very clean and comfortable. Good location out of the city centre for visiting county Cork. We would highly recommend.

Seafinn lodge
Our stay at Seafinn Lodge was beyond wonderful. Shirley greeted us with a warm welcome, offering a walk up along her property among the sheep with stunning views of the surrounding Irish countryside and Bantry Bay. The apartment was super clean, spacious and bright. We really appreciated the coffee, tea and milk! It’s perfectly located on a quite lot a few minutes drive from Bantry with a Lidl store nearby. Shirley gave us a great recommendation for a pub in Bantry where we met a local man who knew of my husband’s family and helped guide us to where they may have lived. We love Ireland and Shirley and John confirmed just how special the Irish are. A highly recommended place to stay!

Lake House Retreat
Paul’s place is truly one of a kind! We had the most wonderful stay and cannot wait to return. The lake view is even better than the pictures show and the surroundings are simply stunning. The house itself has everything you need to feel at home and the beds are extremely comfortable. Paul couldn’t have been a better host and replied almost instantly to every message. We genuinely had the best stay. Highly recommend!

Lighthouse keepers; Home of the year finalist
A truly memorable stay! Not many can say they were the Keeper’s of the Lighthouse for a few nights…the views were stunning and the house is beautifully updated with modern comforts. Saoirse’s list of recommendations worked out well for us and we enjoyed a couple of local restaurants and pubs. We had a lovely time and would definitely return and stay longer.

Twomey's - Unique Victorian Townhouse with Seaview
We had a lovely stay! We were able to check in early and Rosarii met us at the house to give us a lay of the land. The pictures truly do not do the house justice. The rooms are spacious and the views are incredible!! It's a beautiful walk into the center of town, as well. I would definitely recommend this AirBnB and would rebook again in the future if I'm ever in Cobh!

Spacious House with Private Pier, Beara, Co. Cork
We fell in love with this house. It’s in a beautifully secluded spot with direct access to the water. We swam each morning and it was bliss. The layout of the house is great, with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living room and a gorgeous deck that gets the sun. The surrounding area is stunning. We particularly liked the Buddhist centre and vegetarian cafe, which is in a gorgeous spot with breathtaking views. Would love to go back and spend more time exploring.

2 Bed & 2 Bathroom House, 5 mins Walk from Beach
Cannot say enough about Gretta as a host. Amazing. The cottage was just lovely. Very cosy and had everything you would need. Just off the Ring of Kerry so peaceful and yet all of the local attractions are easy to access. We did the Ring one day and the Dingle peninsula the next.

Spectacular family home by the sea,Monkstown, Cork
This is truly one of the most special AirBnBs that we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The house is comfortable, roomy and beautiful and the setting is truly special.

House is dated, quirky, but charming. Fit our needs perfectly, and the price and location were absolutely perfect.

Cabin, Wood stove, Covered balcony, in the trees
Unusual location in semi wooded raised slightly away and above the owners home, can't see from the airbnb. Outside seating to two sides, plenty of space inside, well appointed and warm, we didn't need the wood burner. Very relaxing stay. Met both hosts and their lovely dog, very welcoming and helpful. Great allocated parking space, would highly recommend this home from home.

An Cuan Apartment Dunmore
What a beautiful place, and what a view! We definitely didn’t stay long enough and if they’ll have us back, we’d like to stay longer next time. Martin & Claire were fantastic hosts and made my family feel so welcome. I really appreciate all the efforts they went to for us and we really loved our stay. Looking forward to seeing you again next year! Many Thanks Again!

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment in Cobh.
Lovely and comfortable space to spend a few nights exploring Cobh. We enjoyed the close location to the harbor, cathedral and titanic experience. Beds were very comfy and the kitchen overlooking the harbor was lots of fun. The hosts left us snacks and candy on the counter which was much appreciated. One of the bedrooms is in the living room so some will not love that set up but for us it was fine. We gave our daughter the private room and took the living space for ourselves. The walls are thin and if you are a light sleeper the neighbors may keep you up a bit so earplugs might help. Just basic living noises nothing too loud. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. Thanks Paddy!
