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

A wonderful, well equipped and large house with great views. Ideal base for exploring Cork and Kerry. Everything you need was there and in good condition (except the cooker). Can only really recommend.
