“the very best.” such a wonderful holiday... truly needed a rest from home & work. 5 weeks that flew by sooo very fast. 1st couple of weeks on my own & then 1dear friend from wales & 1 from the usa. we were all happy in this beautiful house. Sheila was great host. could not have asked for more. and yes FRESH EGGS. i will be back in 2013. Thank you Sheila for a great holiday.

“Lovely homely house from which to explore west and north Clare” Modern but characterful house, spacious, lots of natural light, great views to both Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. If you're looking for a peaceful break to recharge your batteries, Gorse Cottage fits the bill. Two or three pubs close by in Doolin with good food and music as well. Get one of the local guides (we recommend Mary Howard) to show you and explain the Burren. If you're a cyclist, do the coast road to Fanore and Ballyvaughan, it's a lovely ride.

“Holiday” Very clean and very good value for money well lovely every minute of are stay michelle and her family were helpful and very nice people the cottage was warm and clean thank you michelle x

“A wondrous Holiday!” I miss Knockatinna already, having spent a lovely two weeks in its embrace! It's truly in the country, but only a five minute drive from a delightful village (Glenbeigh - with several wonderful pubs, including the Olde Glenbeigh, with origins dating back to the late 1700's). The house was truly outfitted for "self-catering", with all kitchen accoutrements on hand. Linens, towels, etc., were amply furnished. The house is well heated, but for chill evenings, two fireplaces add to the charm of the place. From Knockatinna we toured the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Penninsula (greeting Fungie, the friendly Dolphin in Dingle Bay), Blarney Castle, Cashel of the Kings and Cork City as well as Bunratty, Durty Nellie's and the unbelievable Cliffs of Moher. We enjoyed spectacular beaches, the Bog Museum, classic Irish farms and pastures, pristine lakes, and of course, embracing Irish hospitality served up by John and Kathleen O'Shea and their fabulous daughter, Laura. All made for a wondrous holiday which we would love to repeat as soon as possible.

“Excellant” We all had a great time lovely house very cosy with the peat fire hope to return again at some point thanks for letting us stay

“An enchanted place” Herons Cove Cottage is an enchanted place directly on the West Cork Coast where we spent two wonderful weeks. The house has everything you need for a short or for a long stay. The setting in Ballydehob Bay is beautiful, you can watch the bay, nature and the surrounding landscape from inside the house or from one of the lovely places around. The beauty of the cottage and all the carefully maintained details let us even forget one or the other Irish rain shower. You very well can explore West Cork from Herons Cove. On the practical side: it was important to have a car as Ballydehob is approximately 3 km away. If you are in for walking, running and similar activities you will appreciate the great scenery, but it can be steep at times. Thanks to Kathleen and Tony for two superb weeks, we are looking forward to coming back again.

“Excellent holiday home!” Brilliant property! It was a lovely surprise to find a welcome card with contact details if needed, tea, coffee, biscuits and wine for our arrival! The house contained everything we needed from washing up liquid & washing powder to well known makes of shower gels, shampoos, conditioners etc. Was large enough for 2 families (including one person with disabilities) with 2 lounges a large kitchen and a games room, a downstairs bedroom & bathroom. The kids loved the games room and the garden and the garage was equipped with bikes, a go kart, dart board, punch bag etc. The house is bright, modern and clean. Although the house is in walking distance of the town we used hire cars to travel and visit the more well known sites & towns. The owners had also left a folder recommending places to visit, eat etc which we found really useful. Would definitely recommend! Lovely house with considerate owners! A thumbs up!

“Marvelous place with wonderful hosts.. a perfect hideaway from the world” I have to explain that me and the Frenchie stayed for a week in the old pub cottage the year before last around the New Year. We loved the place - the unspoilt scenery and Eileen and Robert. The Frenchie wrote notes and I was supposed to do the review but being the scatterbrain that I am - I mislaid the notes and now I have found them. Frenchie's notes: Its freezing outside; night is dark. Everything is quiet, no noise except for the howling of the storm in the fireplace. No blaring lights - Eileen's xmas tree and ours, a candle and flames. My beloved Margaret is sleeping (snoring) in the other settee. I am drinking my red piper beer and I can smell the stew. Can I expect more with holidays. A couple of days before - the satenave gave up on us and Eileen and Robert came to rescue us in front of the "Dereen Gardens". They opened the door of the "old pub" - the fire was lit, a bottle of wine, box of chocolates and flowers.... so kind reception. Eileen supplied all informations about the kitchen and Robert described all the lovely restoration work which he did on the cottage. Some days later, we spent hours around the table, tasting Josie's cake, wine and chatting of everything. . Thank you so much - you are so kind and your cottage is one of the best we have stayed in. So marvellous people, so marvellous Beara. Please, please - don't change anything - you, your cottage, Beara. You remind me of the Ireland I had visited and loved 35 years before. I could not find this any more in another place until I found you and your cottage. I have to endorse everything which the Frenchie says - I just loved the romanticism of the place, the beautiful wood which Eileen looked after so well, the roaring fire and your helpfulness and kindness. Outside, I loved seeing the sheepies - leaving their fronds of wool on the little wooden fence which ran alongside the landscape. We discovered the Healy Pass with its heft of high cliffs and narrow pases, the solitude of Glandore Lake, the rainbow colours of the houses in Eyeries and the unspoilt scenery of the Beara Penninsula. We also liked the vitality of Kenmare where the Frenchie discovered to his delight an authentic French bakery. We loved the quiet ordinariness of Castletownbere, the way of life on Dursey and Valentia and Beara Islands, Helen's Pub introduced us to the friendliness of country life and food was excellent. Josie's made us envious of such a lovely setting to dine in. Wishing ye all the best in life Robert and Eileen because ye are the perfect hosts. Margaret from Dublin and Didier from France

“Mrs” Just spent a wonderful weekend in McEvoys self catering in Kilnaleck Cavan. We were a party of 6 adults and a 2yr old. Everybody was catered for. Excellent facilities. We had great fun in the games room. Would highly recommend this property.

“Always outstanding” This is our forth time at Millknock and as always it was spotlessly clean, excellent facilities, wonderful location and friendly welcome. Everything you could ask for In a large family holiday home. No doubt we will return!

“clean, comfortable, well equipped cottage” Excellent location for the town, beach, leisure centre, the cottage was well equipped and comfortable, we recommend the cliff walk and ice-cream lunch at Sundaes (has to be done), the beaches are perfect and when the weather isn't great there is the leisure centre and arcades. We also travelled further afield around Kerry and Clare, very easy to get to. We will be back! Thank you!

“Lovely peaceful cottage” This cottage is situated near great beaches in north Donegal. It is close to Ards Forest Park and Glenveagh National Park. The cottage itself is spacious with 2 large living areas and a table and chairs outside. We had a great holiday here. Thank you

“A Perfect Holiday Home...” Hi, Returned on Monday after a two-night stay. An excellent holiday home with perfect ambiance for a holiday trip. 6 Adults and 6 kids were accommodated with ease. A nearby stunning beach. A very helpful owner. Moreover, the house located at a magnificently beautiful pure Irish speaking village with all sign boards are in Irish as well. We even attended an Irish language Holy Mass on Sunday. Highly recommended for a perfect holiday.

“Lovely flat” Nice place, great views, friendly landlords. Recommend to anyone wanting a quiet getaway. Close to tourist destinations.
