Lovely all around... The cottage was clean, comfortable, light and bright, with beautiful views of the bay. The setting was private and peaceful. A well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds helped make our long stay feel like a home-away-from-home ideal getaway.

Fantastic house in a fantastic location. Have breakfast or dinner on the patio, the sheep down in the meadow and then the amazing view. Everything you need is there in the house and there are excellent restaurants nearby!

The property is very well appointed, clean and beautifully located with clear views across the bay and into the West. Add a little sun and you get a perfect hideaway to relax and recharge. It is also easy to get around if you want to explore Kerry and West-Cork.

We were looking for a quiet place in the middle of nowhere, and we found it. You have a great view and from time to time a rabbit or dear in the garden. The house is tidy and warm. If you like dark toast, you will test the fire detection system.

This is our third stay in Rockwell and once again we had a wonderful holiday. On arrival the house was spotless and a most welcome coffee,milk,and biscuits awaited....just what we needed after a long journey. Cottage is exceptionally well equipped and the views are spectacular. It is perfectly situated for exploring both Beara Peninsula and Mizen Peninsula. Once again we were blessed with good weather.
