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.

Comfortable, quiet in a stunning setting.

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.

This was a lovely property. Very clean and quiet. Very well equipped. It has anything you would need. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was very good and everything we could have hoped for. A little upset that the bushes looking out to the sea were 6ft. high and obscured the view, together with a tree in need of some attention, nothing like in the pictures. Asking you to take the bins down a very steep drive every week would be too much for anyone with mobility problems. We are in our late sixties and really struggled, but we're not prepared to pay the property manager to be called out.

A little piece of heaven
We have been holidaying in Lauragh for at least 10 yrs so it's obvious how much we love it. It is a very quiet location but a great base to see around Beara Peninsula. This is our 2nd year staying in Rockwell and it is undoubtedly the best we have ever stayed in......absolutely spotless, well equipped, beautiful views, and that all Important peacefulness. We are already looking forward to next year.

What a lovely place in a picturesque setting would happily stay here again. A bit remote but everything was easily accessible with short drives.

Holiday on Beara Peninsula.. ....our favourite place in Ireland. Lakes, mountains
A fabulous house with fantastic views all around. Spotless with everything you could possibly need. Very smooth communication regarding payment, location, keys etc. A truly tranquil area with beautiful flora and fauna. And my husband says the best pint of guinness in Ireland at Helens on pier. Have already booked for next year.

Superb staycation
This was our third visit to Rockwell as we just love the house and the location on the glorious Beara peninsula. The house is so comfortable and well-equipped...we enjoyed cooking for ourselves in the spacious kitchen and eating at a table with one of the best views in Ireland!! Elaine made all the communications and instructions very easy for us and was contactable at any time for advice or assistance. I highly recommend this property for anyone wishing to tour Kerry/Cork. The house is within an hour's driving to Killarney and the lovely town of Kenmare (for good restaurants and shopping) is only 20 mins away. Helen's Bar is a 10 min drive or a 1/2 hour walk from the house and does great food and excellent Guinness. Can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic visit
The property is on the coast road, which is a narrow road. The view once you get there is amazing. The house had everything we needed for our trip and was as seen in photos.
Shop before you get to the property as the nearest supermarket is in Kenmare.
If you want a quiet place to stay then this is for you.

Gute Lage mit voel Platz, aber mit teiweise deutlichen Mängeln
Das Haus hat eine gute Lage mit schönem Meeeblick. Es bietet in großen Räumen viel Platz und ist angenehm hell durch die vielen Fenster. Wir haben aber auch einige deutliche Mängel festgestellt, und zwar:
- Im Küchenbereich: Herd mit abgebrochenen Bedienknöpfen sowie einer stark zerkratzten Platte und nicht funktionierendem Licht über dem Arbeitsfeld. Bratpfanne total lockerer Stiel, die nur durch Eigenreparatur gebrauchsfähig wurde. Die Pfannen waren unsauber und alt. Es gab keine Glas- und Müslischalen, keine normalen Biergläser. Ebenso gab es keine Schalen zum Anrichten und Servieren. Der Salz- und der Pfefferstreuer waren defekt, so dass wir keinen hatten.
Im Badbereich: Die Toilettendeckel passten nicht zur Toilette, so dass sie schief aufsaßen und wackelten, was sehr unangenehm war. Bad und Dusche wurden teilweise ungereinigt vorgefunden.
- Allgemein: Die Fenster waren undicht, so dass auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern Insekten, vor allem Mücken ins Haus kamen. Wegen der Mücken konnten wir die Fenster ohnehin nie zum Lüften öffnen. Unseres Erachtens müssten hier dringend Fliegengitter installiert werden.
Wohnzimmerbereich: Der Rüttler am Kamin ließ sich fast nicht mehr bewegen.
Bemerken möchten qir noch, dass die Hausverwalter auf diese Kritikpunkte sehr unsachlich reagiert haben. Sie führen ein internes Bewertungssystem für die Gäste, das u. E. ein reines Suppressionsinstrument gegen Kritik ist. Laut den Anweisungen der Hausmappe müssen Gäste trotz im Preis inbegriffener Endreinigung bei Abreise einige Dinge erledigen, die u. E. zur Endreinigung gehören.
