Ideal Getaway

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.

Haus mit wunderbarer Aussicht

Das Cottage war ein wunderschöner Ausgangspunkt zum Erkunden der Region, auch wenn die engen Straßen gewöhnungsbedürftig sind. Insgesamt ist das Cottage geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet. Wir haben den tollen Blick auf das Meer täglich genossen.

My little piece of heave

This was our 3rd or 4th stay in the property but have been coming to the area for last 15yrs. The house is beautiful with everything you might need. The view is stunning. It is quiet and close to pub and restaurants. The Beara Peninsula has much to offer for all ages. We will be booking again.

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.

A little piece of heaven

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.

Lovely holiday

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.

5+STAR - Stunning Cottage

Loved it - last stayed here 4 years ago and it is better. Thought the new curtains gave it a much more homely feel. Really enjoyed our week here, peace, tranquility, amazing views and everything you need. Whilst we loved it and are okay with its location, other people may find it somewhat remote, but we adore being out in the middle of nowhere. With stunning views like that from the floor to ceiling windows, we were happy to enjoy the peace, the views, watching the weather change, cloud formations and colour changes in the evening particularly mesmerising. The cottage itself is very spacious, clean and modern but still retains an air of character. The modern high gloss kitchen is roomy and more than adequate for a holiday, it's certainly bigger than our kitchen at home. The bed in the master bedroom is comfortable (there was only 2 of us) and the en suite is very welcome. Waking up in the master bedroom to the views from the floor to ceiling windows so you get an uninterrupted view of the Wild Atlantic way and mountains behind, is certainly a fabulous way to wake up in the morning. We would happily return to this cottage again in a few years time, as we did this time. What people may need to know is that the water from the tap is via a bore hole and we personally preferred to buy bottled water from the local supermarket but we understand the water is safe to drink. The drainage and sewage go into a septic tank which is perfectly okay but you must be wary to only use toilet tissue; baby wipes should not be put down the loo here, nor must you use bleach products (such as in sterilising tablets) as this upsets the ecology of the septic tank. For the visitor though, this does not detract in any way, you simply need to be mindful that it's not mains water and drainage - everything else works as if it is mains, it's a matter of being thoughtful. Environmentally, it's sound! There is everything you need, we chose to cook 3 times, the cooker works fine, there is a washing machine, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, kettle and freezer. The owner thoughtfully left some dishwasher tablets but you will need your own laundry detergent of course. I put 4 laundry tabs into a plastic tub and put in my luggage so that I ensured I had my preferred brand due to sensitive skin. It's a great place, enjoy your holiday! Turn left at the bottom of the cottage's driveway to Helen's Bar - the seafood platter was great! The locals are really friendly.

Schöner Aufenthalt in einem perfekten Haus

Das Haus liegt in einer einzigartigen Traumlage mit Blick auf die Bucht von Kenmare und das gegenüberliegende Ufer. Das Haus ist sehr schön und modern gebaut. Es bietet mit seinen großen Fenstern nicht nur einen besonderen Ausblick auf das Wasser, sondern auch viel Tageslicht. Die Ausstattung des Hauses lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und hoffen, dass wir bald einmal wieder kommen können. Vielen Dank an Liam, dass er ein so seltenes Objekt vermietet!

Rockwell Cottage irische Natur und Gastfreundschaft

Gemeinsam mit Freunden verbrachten wir eine wunderbare Zeit im Rockwell Cottage. Das Cottage liegt in einer wunderschönen ruhigen Umgebung mit Sicht auf das Meer und die gegenüberliegende Uferlandschaft. Der grosszügige Wohnraum, die Schlafzimmer und die Küche sind komfortabel und mit allen notwendigen technischen Geräten eingerichtet. Wir fühlten uns sofort zu Hause und haben an den verschiedenen Aussensitzplätzen mit herrlicher Aussicht. Ein tolles Cottage für alle die etwas Komfort schätzen und die idyllische irische Natur geniessen wollen. Manfred und Freunde aus der Schweiz

a very nice and quiet place

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.

Spot for minkwhale watching

Es gibt viele Gründe, dieses Objekt wirklich zu empfehlen. 1. Super Lage auf Beara, in Schlagdistanz zu Helen's Bar, in der Nähe von Kenmare und Castletownbere mit Maccarthys. 2. Jede Menge Wandermoeglichkeiten für alle Fitnesslevel, besonders die Lighthouse Loop auf Bere war toll. 3. Wunderbarer Panoramablick aus Haus und Garten auf den Kenmare River, wir haben Minkwale gesehen 4. Gute Ausstattung im Haus, alles funktioniert einwandfrei 5. Schneller und freundlicher Kontakt mit Liam, dem Vermieter 6. Bequeme und beheizbare Betten, auch wenn wir das gar nicht benötigt haben. 7.Dies, das und Jenes, jedenfalls aber nix zu meckern. Fazit: Perfekt für 2 Personen, vermutlich auch für 4, aber das können wir nicht beurteilen. Vielen Dank für die perfekte Woche. Claudia und Andreas

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.
