The siting above Kenmare Bay afforded stunning views / sunsets. The house itself had a very thoughtful design layout and created the feeling of home. We will return.

A large, very comfortable home in an amazing location overlooking Kenmare Bay. For us, our stay captured the essence of seaside Ireland. I wish we could have stayed here for a month. Highly recommended.

The cottage is a drive away from any villages or towns - but its isolation is its star point. It's a truly special home in a stunning setting

Seal Rock Cottage was absolutely beautiful! The check-in process went smoothly, and everything was very neat and clean for our arrival. Instructions in the guest book helped us with turning on the oven and other appliances to make it an easier stay. We enjoyed coffee by the wood fireplace, meals outside on the terrace, and going down to the waterfront to further enjoy the stunning views. It was a great home to wind down in and to plan our adventures for the day in. It was an ideal location to explore Ireland's peninsulas and all its beauty. :) We would recommend this place to all of our friends and family, and we are so thankful for a wonderful stay!

The house is everything described in the booking. The home was extremely well appointed - comfortable beds and crisp linens. The kitchen had everything you needed. The honour bar was a very nice touch - made you feel very welcome. Had a very memorable stay.

What an amazing 2weeks we had at Seal Rock Cottage! It truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we opened the door we knew we had found a gem! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the cottage is a extremely stylish, cozy and spotless. Having use of a fully stocked kitchen with wonderful appliances were very much appreciated since we did make use of cooking dinners quite often. Whether we were sitting outside enjoying the ever changing views or sitting inside by the warmth of a fire, we were quick to realize that we will definitely return next year and for another two weeks! We really enjoyed the privacy, yet the location is easily reached to so many areas that were on our must do list. The owners, Michael and Jane gave us many recommendations for things to check out and were fabulous to work with. Thank you Michael and Jane for sharing your magnificent home with us!
