The cottage was gorgeous, with great views and was very quiet. The garden is also fabulous. Only negative point for us was that the bed was not comfortable so we didnât sleep very well. Would recommend this cottage nevertheless.
My family went to Ireland to visit family who live on the Beara Peninsula. The cottage was large enough for us to gather for meals. Dove Hollow was recommended to us, and we are so glad we rented the cottage.
Located far away from worldly distractions, Sue's lovely house is in a remote part of the Beara peninsula. Its the perfect place to recover if calm, nature and the wild Atlantic are your thing. Her house is well equipped, delightfully cosy with inspiring textiles throughout. Her garden is a little oasis. Even wet days spent reading before her picture window with mermerising view of the sea are restorative. We highly enjoyed our second stay there, a recommend.
Amazing and cozy cottage which feels like Home â„ïž our favorite place is the patio outside with the perfect view on the water and ring of Kerry. We got quit a few visits from a bunch of dolphins in the early morning and evening!
We will definitely come back and stay longer, 8 nights are way to short. Wonderful landscape and the best place in Ireland to relaxđâ„ïž we really loved all the different kind of flowers in sueâs garden!
Thank you so much for one of the best experiences we had.
A house between sky and ocean in the middle of a magnificent moor, some dolphins in the morning to excite the children... An unforgettable place and a very pleasant house to live in.
A beautiful peaceful place, cinematic views well off the beaten path. The Beara Peninsula and surrounding countryside has breathtaking scenery at every turn. We felt we were living on a movie set, views out the picture window were beyond spectacular. The cottage itself is spacious, immaculate and every need addressed, especially the kitchen. Would definitely return!
We had 5 nights at Dove Hollow. We were blessed 3 beautiful sunsets (our first 3 nights).
On the ring of Beara road we were greeted with a rainbow. We knew we were in for something special.
Susan and Marks cottage was a very special place. Updated and charming we immediately felt at home. The kitchen was a pleasure to work in, and the breezes from the windows upstairs and down were lovely.
We loved the cows passing by, the awe inspiring views, and the charming patio perfect for morning tea or evening cocktails.
We are eager to return and encourage anyone else not to hesitate in renting this little piece of Irish heaven
We revisited Dove Hollow 2 years after our first stay and it was even better than the last time!
The addition of a picture window overlooking the ocean in the living room has transformed the cosy room. Access to the green house with a dining table was another lovely feature that we used when the weather didn't allow us to eat outside.
The house retains its cosy character and I particularly appreciate the well equipped cottage kitchen with plenty of herbs and spices and cooking utensils to make cooking the local produce (including hedgerow blackberries) a pleasure.
The kitchen is the heart of the home and we enjoyed family meals with the stove lit around the roomy dining table.
This property is all about atmosphere and character and the stunning location in a magical part of the Beara penninsula.
We enjoyed fabulous hikes, cycles and sea swims, fuelled by lots of seafood and Guinness!
Thank you Sue - we would love to return :)
The house ist cosy and lovely decoratet.
The Garden ist very nice with lot of flowers and the nature around ist incomperable.
Thank you very much Sue!!
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in dem wunderschönen Cottage. Es steht in traumhafter Lage direkt an der KĂŒste mit Blick auf den Ring of Kerry. Es ist mit groĂer Liebe zum Detail und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Tolle KĂŒche, geemĂŒtliche Betten.
Es war uns eine groĂe Freude, im schönen Garten oder auf dem Sofa zu sitzen Blick aufs Meer.
Wunderschönes Haus mit phantastischer Aussicht. Wir waren fĂŒr 7 NĂ€chte dort und das war definitiv zu kurz. Hier kann man gut entschleunigen und hat Erholung pur. Es ist alles vorrĂ€tig was man braucht. Wir fĂŒhlten uns rundum zufrieden.
Die Anreise von Dublin ist lang. Wer aber gern abseits von StĂ€dten oder Ortschaften Urlaub macht und UnterkĂŒnfte im Vintage-Stil mag, fĂŒr den lohnt es sich absolut. Der Blick aus dem Fenster der Wohnstube auf das Meer hat mich jeden Morgen glĂŒcklich gemacht. Das Haus liegt auf dem Ring of Beara, den man auf jeden Fall bereisen sollte. Bei unserer Ankunft waren die Betten vorbereitet, HandtĂŒcher hingen auch bereit. Das Haus war sauber und hatte grundsĂ€tzlich alles da, was man braucht. Im Oktober war es bereits sehr frisch drauĂen, demzufolge hat es etwas gedauert, bis es warm genug im Haus war. Mit den Ăfen in der KĂŒche und Stube wĂ€re es sicher schneller gegangen, aber wir hatten nicht gleich Holz da. In diesem urigen und gemĂŒtlichen HĂ€uschen wĂŒrden wir wieder Urlaub machen.
Well equipped and thoughtfully furnished house with magnificent sea views where we immediately felt very much at home. The mixed weather prevented us from making full use of the lovely garden but we nonetheless had a great time, and loved this remote hideaway. Even just watching âthe weatherâ through the window was a satisfying and relaxing activity. Situated on a quiet road, perfect for walking, (however a car is definitely needed for mobility).
We finished our weekâs stay refreshed, and we hope to return.
Wir haben eine Woche hier verbracht und hatte herrliche Tage. Das Haus und der Garten sind wunderbar eingerichtet und die KĂŒche ist super ausgestattet - ein groĂer Esstisch lĂ€dt zum verweilen ein. In direkter sowie in weiterer Entfernung gibt es die herrlichste Natur. Der Ausblick aus dem Wohnzimmerfenster ist spektakulĂ€r. Hier sind auch Regentage Urlaubstage. Gerne wieder. Liebe GrĂŒĂe. Heico.
Wunderschönes Cottage mit wunderschöner Aussicht
Wir haben den kompletten Aufenthalt (13 Tage) sehr genossen. Das Cottage ist wirklich sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet. Ein echter WohlfĂŒhlort. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse oder einfach aus vielen Fenstern ist ebenso schön.
Wichtig zu erwÀhnen ist vielleicht noch, dass es "ein wenig" abgelegen liegt. Wer das mag, ist hier genau richtig.
An idyllic, homely, and unique property with stunning views and a very pretty garden in a remote location. Everything has been thought of and delivered to a high standard. The proprietor was quick to respond with any questions - would definitely visit again.
We LOVED this property. The lush vegetation and views from Sue's place were remarkable! I gave it 5 stars for location since it was what we were after but you should know it is a jaunt to get to most things if you're looking to explore off of the peninsula. The home was cozy and the sunsets were incredible. I loved walking the bluffs nearby and we couldn't get enough of the cows next door. Sue was very responsive and I would stay here again.
Sieben sonnige Tage in diesem wunderbaren Cottage waren eindeutig zu kurz. Wir liebten die ruhige, einsame Lage mit Blick aufs Meer, den blĂŒhenden Garten und im Haus vor allem die KĂŒche. Wie viel Liebe und Geschmack steckt in Dove Hollow! Und wie schön, dass Susan uns daran teilhaben lieĂ. Danke! Silke StĂŒrmer
2nd time to Dove Hollow and will never tire of the amazing views and the peace and quiet. Perfect place to stop the world, get off and just kick back. Beautiful walks and the pubs were even open this year đ
This is a charming cottage with a lovely homely feel and a stunning location.
We spent 2 weeks here and found it extremely relaxing to be in the peace and quiet of the countryside with a wonderful view of the ocean.
A small outside terrace with a table and chairs was a favourite spot for breakfast and dinner with an amazing view across the bay to the mountains and all day sun.
The property was thoughtfully decorated with antique furniture and art and had a restful atmosphere.
The woodburning stoves were a lovely feature if the evenings were cool and the kitchen was a favourite cosy sitting room.
Beds were very comfortable and bedrooms spacious.
An extra bathroom or dishwasher would have been useful, but in holiday mode we didnât mind and the kitchen was well appointed.
The garden was delightful and we enjoyed using the bikes for hilly cycles.
Beara is a wonderland of mountain hikes, coastal and woodland walks, cycle routes, boat trips and wild swim spots.
Lovely nearby villages for pubs and cafes and Castletownbere has 2 good delis for home cooking and a supermarket.
We have booked again for next year !
Thank you Sue
I am a professional Artist and fell in love with The Beara. I find my inspiration in all of the beautiful landscapes, seascapes, cottages and people that surround Dove Hollow Cottage.
I drove by this cottage many times on painting trips. The location is spectacular. The whole area is filled with beautiful scenery. I love the cottage itself. It embraces you and provides views of ocean and gardens from every window. There is so much peace and privacy here from the rest of the world.
There are few places left where one can go and feel surrounded by peace, beauty and comfort. This cottage is a rare and special place. You can leave the world behind for awhile.
