Beautiful cottage with amazing views - a gorgeous place to be!

The cottage was absolutely beautiful-we arrived at night in the dark so had to wait until the morning and it was so worth it. The view from the back of the house was spectacular and being able to sit out in the evening with the sun shining through the back door felt like heaven. Tragumna is a lovely place - the locals were very friendly and welcoming and very happy to chat! The owners were extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries before we arrived and then the lovely Breda ensured we had everything we needed while we were there! A lovely trip and such a beautiful house! Thank you!

Idyllic location, quiet but accessible

A stay next to the Atlantic but so peaceful. Great view from rear porch, safe garden, access to Skibbereen easy (car essential!).Cottage shows its age, needs more towels and better bedding, but comfortable and all needs catered for. Breda helps with any needs.

Cottage mit tollem Meeresblick

Wir haben uns im Trout 2 rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Cottage ist gut ausgestattet, die Kommunikation mit der Verwalterin vor Ort, war bestens und bei einer Woche im frühsommerlichen Dauerhoch,spielte uns auch das Wetter in die Karten.

Lovely little cottage by the sea

We all enjoyed our stay very much! Lovely walks down to the ocean, watching the sunsets and beers at the pub. I don’t recall the listing saying there was no wifi which may be important to some. The town of Skibbereen itself was about 10 mins away and really charming. Breda was super helpful and responsive. Thanks for a great week!

Lovely cottage - quite remote

This is a lovely cottage and the hosts are very responsive and helpful. It is probably best suited for a warmer season fishing trip than a cold weather stay on the coast.The view from the cottage is gorgeous and the back yard is wonderful.

Taumhafte Lage am Meer!

Ein uriges Cottage. Mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Super Lage am Meer. Ein gemütlicher Pub in der Nähe. Eine schöne abwechslungsreiche Küste sowohl in direkter Umgebung, als auch für Tagesausflüge. Einkäufe können im in der Nähe gelegenen Ort Skibbereen erledigt werden. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter und zur Betreuerin vor Ort war unkompliziert und zuvorkommend. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

traumhafte Gegend in Irland

Das Cottage liegt perfekt, die Bucht, der Ausblick von der Terrasse, das Pub gleich neben an, alles super für einen entspannten Urlaub. Es gibt viele Highlights zum Erkunden in der Gegend. Brow’s Head, Mizen Head, Klinakilty, Skibbereen, … Kayaking, Fischen, Schwimmen, Surfen, alles möglich. Das Cottage selbst hinkt unserer Ansicht nach dem aktuellen Standard hinterher (keine Möglichkeit nasse Wäsche aufzuhängen - nicht nur für Neos, es regnet manchmal auch in Irland; kein wlan, keine Waschmaschine, …), war aber sauber und geräumig für uns zwei. Wenn man heizen und die stromfressende Heizung (Strom wird extra abgerechnet) vermeiden will, kann man den wunderbar ziehenden Kamin verwenden. Holz dafür gibt's im Supermarkt oder an der Tankstelle. Die in anderen Teilen Irlands und bei anderen Häusern, die wir im Laufe der Jahre gemietet hatten, übliche Menge Heizmaterial zur "Begrüßung" bzw. um direkt ein Feuer machen zu können, haben wir hier leider vermisst...

Urig-rustikales Cottage mit guter Ausstattung in perfekter Lage (faszinierender Ausblick auf das Meer und die Klippen). Schöner Pub direkt vor der Tür. Süd-West Irland lässt sich von hier prima erkunden. Toller Urlaub!

Gemütliches Cottage mit phantastischer Aussicht

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub hier, absolut ruhige Umgebung! Das Wetter war Ende Juni/Anfang Juli recht kühl und unbeständig und das Cottage kühlt schnell aus. Die Bettdecken sind nicht wirklich warm und wir mussten heizen. Die Heizkosten muss man am Ende des Urlaubs bar bezahlen. Bei uns für 1 Woche 34 Eur. In der Küche haben wir scharfe Messer vermisst und ein Salatbesteck. Sonst alles bestens - West-Cork ist wunderschön und wir würden dieses Cottage wieder mieten.

A beautiful cottage in an idyllic location.

What a beautiful place to say. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and is equipped with everything you need. Breda was so welcoming and always on hand to help and answer any questions we had throughout our stay. Waking up in the morning to the view across the bay was a real treat every day. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely cottage for a second time!

Gemütliches kleines Cottage

Wir haben unsern Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Cottage bietet Blick auf die kleine Bucht und hat ein Pub direkt in der Nähe mit gutem Essen. Der Empfang war herzlich und es war alles vorhanden wie im Inserat beschrieben. Kleines Manko - das Cottage ist sehr hellhörig, sodass man zwischen den Stockwerken Gespräche / Geräusche mitbekommt. War bei unserer Gruppe aber kein Problem. Kleine Verbesserungen wären ggf. bei den Doppelbetten auch getrennte Decken statt einer großen oder bei Bedarf weitere Kissen bereitzustellen.

Kleines Juwel an der Atlantikküste

Wir kennen Tragumna bereits viele Jahre. Daher wussten wir was uns erwartet. Nur die Unterkunft war neu. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf die Bucht ist jedes Mal eine Wucht. Wir lieben es. Der Kamin erledigt seine Aufgabe hervorragend und lässt auch mal einen verregneten Tag mit einem guten Buch in der Hand und einem Glas Guiness die Zeit vertreiben. Es gibt nur kleine Anmerkungen, welche ich dem Eigentümer bereits vorab mitgeteilt habe. Nice to have : In der kühleren Jahreszeit eine Wolldecke fehlte uns, bevor man die Heizung aufdreht Strom und Gaskosten beliefen sich in einer Woche 62 € zusätzlich.
