The property was very spacious and very clean with everything we needed. It was perfect for us. Noreen was helpful when asked questions but also gave us 100% privacy. Description was very accurate and no complaints at all. If you are looking for peace, nature and spaciousness this is the place for you. Brandy the dog’s daily visits were also sweet as she is a very well behaved dog.

Outstanding property! So much space and a stunning view. Everything was immaculate. A short trip to the Kerry Cliffs and Bray Head. Spent a day in Killarney National Park. Fabulous hike. Excellent location!

After a long drive from Shannon Airport, we opened the door to Seashell Cottage and immediately felt like we were home. The scenic surroundings offered us peaceful mornings to lounge over coffee and enjoy the stunning view, and the perfect base to venture out to explore the Skellig Coast — which we have fallen in love with. Our stay was idyllic, and the short trips to Waterville or Cahersiveen to pick up necessities were delightful. Seashell Cottage is very comfortable, the pantry had many essentials, and our host, Noreen, made sure we were well taken care of. Our stay was an absolute dream, and we hope to return again and again.

Sea Shell Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. The house is so spacious and the view is unbelievable. It's got all you need for a lovely stay.
The walks, scenery, beach, donkeys and ever changing weather, made our time there just so lovely. Not forgetting the daily visits from Brandy, the dog. My husband and I stayed there with two of our friends, they thoroughly enjoyed it too. We would all go back again in a flash!
The host was available if we needed anything, just a text away.

we had a wonderful stay at Noreens House, the view in the bay is stunning sitting there in the swing-chairs with the heater under your feet - even in November it´s worth going here. The beach itself and the possibilities to hike around the location are great too

Amazing views of the ocean and landscape. You will forget about work and truly reconnect to all that matters in this lifetime. The night sky is brilliant and looks like an ocean of diamonds. Beach walks are invigorating and the ever changing sky delivers the most stunning photo opportunities. You’ll never want to return home.

Spectacular views
What a beautiful view to wake up to each morning. Great location for getting away from it all. Very spacious property. Noreen was fantastic. Weather was surprisingly good for the time of year! Loved the visits from Brandy, their red setter, as we were missing our own dog. Very few of the restaurants in Waterville were open as the season hadn't really started yet, but we always managed to get a good meal - Thank you "Butlers Arms"!

Perfectly Remote with Access to Kerry’s Best Hidden Treasures
If you’re looking for a home away from home, this is it. A short walk from the beach and along the Ballinskelligs ring, you couldn’t ask for more. A short drive to Waterville and through the Kerry Highlands will take you through some of the most pristine lands and amazing vistas that will take your breath away as you reach Kenmare.
I’ve been to Ireland several times and each time I visit, it feels as if I’m seeing it for the first time. This house provides you with the privacy and seclusion you seek with all the comforts of home. The most perfect location. As you leave, you’ll be planning your next stay.
Thank you for hosting me. I will return.

nice place
really goog place. We enjoyed riding on cycles in the area, without driving too far each day and the garage is perfect to store them.
we just had some difficulties to put on the heating et use the hot water but maybe it's classical system in ireland we didn't know.
Noreen is very reactiv (thanks for the HDMI cable) and i'm sure she had come if we told her those little problems. we didn't because we managed however on our own.

A very comfortable house in a wonderful location
The house was very comfortable and well equipped. It was spacious, bright and warm and the views were spectacular. The windows to the rear took full advantage of these views and every time you looked out the mountains had changed.
The beach just down the road was perfect for walks and the house was a short drive away from shops, restaurants and beauty spots.
We're already looking forward to our next visit to Seashell Cottage.
