About this house rental
Ardnagashel is a magical place. A large modern house (with adjoining studio apartment) situate on its own private grounds directly on the shore of Bantry Bay with wonderful south facing views and surrounded by 20 acres of mature woodland gardens littered with exotic specimen trees and shrubs from parts of the world. The principal attraction of this property is the beautiful private pebble beach located right outside the front door of the house!

My family stayed at Ardnagashel Estates for 5 nights and enjoyed every moment. Mary greeted us to check-in, and was so helpful throughout the entire stay, showing us around this beautiful property and how to use the amenities and suggested the local places to go for anything we needed. We enjoyed the peaceful interaction with nature (every time we looked out the windows onto Bantry Bay, there was a different type of animal or boat to watch, and the property is nested back in a beautiful forest of trees and greenery). We completely disconnected during our time there. You will fall in love with the house, the property and the countryside and won't want to leave. We look forward to coming back to stay at Ardnagashel Estates next time we are in Glengariff. Thank you Mary!

Mary was very helpful and made our stay very comfortable. She went out of her way to sort minor issues that arose during our stay. The property had a brilliant location and was well catered. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Ardnagashel was just beautiful. The house was stunning. Really clean and lots of room for everyone. The view was spectacular. It was a great location for day trips to Kerry and Cork. We stayed local on our last day and visited glengarriff nature reserve. Then visited bantry,O’Connors fish restaurant is highly recommended abandon great for children. Mary was really helpful and friendly. Always there for questions. We went for a dip in the sea right outside the house! A fantastic stay!

A group of eight of us spent a lovely three nights in this home. We were delighted by all aspects of the stay. The host responded to a couple of pre-arrival questions. The house was easy to find off the Bantry-Glengarriff road. It's about a 15 minute drive from Bantry. On arrival the house was spotless. All the bedrooms were large and very comfortable. There's a living room, large dining room, family room with TV, and a games room. Bantry Bay is right out front: 15 yards from the front door. Even though the water was chilly most of us took a dip. Invigorating! Kudos to the host for having the house ready for us after Storm Agnes had gone through the previous day knocking down some trees and pushing kelp up onto the shore.

This is a fabulous house and a location beyond compare. Kitchen is well equipped. Nearby Bantry and Glengarriff offered good hospitality.

Mary was a wonderful host. The house was perfect and I love that we all fit around the table. The driveway to the house is long. Our 32 passenger coach was not able to make it all the way down the road, therefore we got to do beautiful hikes each time we left. We would highly recommend this location for your stay.

The accommodation was perfect for our large family group, with all the bedrooms in use. Lots of well stocked presses in the kitchen, heaps of glasses, crockery etc. and the two dishwashers got plenty of use.
The weather wasn't kind to us during our stay and the kids made great use of the games room and the TV/ library. The large sitting room was perfect for cosy chats around the roaring fire. Bandon and Glengariff are within easy reach ad we all enjoyed our trip to Garnish Island.
We are all looking forward to doing it again sometime.

We had a wonderful stay at Ardnagashel! Mary was a joy to deal with and made our stay extremely comfortable. The property itself was clean, inviting and spacious for our family. The location is phenomenal. Sitting outside by the ocean was magical. Gorgeous Glengarriff was 2 mins away by car and offered delicious locally sourced seafood. We highly recommend a stay at this property. We will certainly be booking back in.

The position and views with this property were exceptional. Tranquil, unspoilt and relaxing. The manager Mary was also a lovely, helpful lady who answered all of our questions. The property it’s self is well built but it does need some TLC and Mary mentioned that all the windows are to be replaced next year . The kitchen is well equipped and the use of a tumble dryer and washing machine were very helpful to us.
The beds were comfortable but some extra electrical sockets and mirrors are needed for guests to be able to dry their hair.
There is a separate annexe to one side of the house which is ideal for grandparents etc.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is better than in photos and it’s location is beautiful, right by the sea. Perfect for morning swims! Mary, the property manager, was fantastic. So welcoming and helped us with tips for our trip and even babysat one night for us which was amazing. The local area has so many things to do, boat trips to the islands, golf, walks and pubs. The only thing we missed was any Irish music! One of the showers was quite cold but this was rectified quickly. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time. The views are stunning! You just can't help but switch off we had 3 teenagers who had a fantastic time playing pool & table tennis in the evening & swimming in the morning. The house has everything you need & we all agreed the beds were extremely comfortable. Mary was lovely & we wanted for nothing. My only gripe is we didn't stay long enough!

We booked this house for a friends and family weekend. The property is exactly as described, great facilities and beautiful location right on the water. Step outside for a swim and only a short drive from Glengarriff and Bantry. Mary was extremely helpful and sorted everything we could ask for. Would highly recommend!

We were a party of 8 adults staying in Ardnagashel House for a week over Christmas. The property is stunning-even better than the photos suggest. The location is unbeatable and wonderfully remote. We made good use of the games room and even braved the water ! The kitchen is really well stocked with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. Beautifully furnished, the home was warm and welcoming and we really didn't want to leave. Moya answered all my questions promptly and Mary, the manager was very efficient and helpful. Book a stay-you won't be disappointed!

Such an amazing stay at this stunning house with great views! The house is cozy with plenty of windows to take in the sites. Possibly some additional outdoor lighting would be great to enjoy the view in the evening but overall this property and location is a win. Would love to come back and stay again.

We loved our stay at the house. It was such a relaxing & peaceful location. There is plenty of sofas and 4 different seating areas for everyone to spread out. The grounds are really pretty and we did many walks from the house. The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed. The showers in all the en-suites we powerful with plenty of hot water. We would highly recommend and really hope we can come back again soon. Mary the manager was really Helpful and responsive.

Absolutely fabulous escape in a private setting. What a lovely warm welcome from the manager Mary & Martin who made sure we had everything we needed. Our family had a wonderful week in gorgeous surroundings, exploring lovely treks on the property, swimming in the sea just outside the house. & Bantry town just down the road. A real breath of freedom. Excellent location!

Myself and family spent three wonderful days here. Moya and Mary could not have been more helpful answering questions pre booking and during our stay. The location makes this a unique place to stay. Surrounded by woodland and facing off over Bantry Bay this is a beautiful place. The house is spacious and comfortable with all you need for a relaxing stay. Would highly recommend. Michael B
