Very run down family holiday home. Poorly prepared before our arrival. Misleading photos and description which failed to mention house being built next door( see photograph).
Fabulous property, perfectly located to explore West Cork.
Spacious house, well equipped to accommodate 10 people. The generous kitchen is a sun trap and overlooks a largely enclosed garden. The upstairs lounge gave great views and
We had a great stay. Itâs an excellent house for friends and family, spacious and comfortable in a brilliant location with fantastic views. Very good facilities inside and out and the house works really well for all weather eventualities . We had an unexpected and glorious hot blast of late summer and the house was a lovely place to be - the outside eating area and bbq really came into their own. All communications with Ross were easy - the whole thing was stress free and excellent from start to finish. Thank you - I would definitely book this house again for next year if it wasnât already booked up!
Lovely house, lots of space, great sea view from upstairs. Great local walks & boat trips available
Great house but needs a little TLC here and there. Great location, in the centre of lots of places. Busy enough road but very quiet at night. Friendly neighbours and property manager lives close by in case of any issues. Schull is 10 mins drive. Mizen head, Skibbereen, Bantry etc 15/20 mins. Lovely local walks and boat trips from Schull. Only negatives were some information in the house instruction book needs updating re heating and immersion tv guide, also the kids games need to be replaced as they are damaged and are missing parts. Overall great place to stay. Would definitely recommend.
need to be replaced due to lots of missing parts.
House was perfect for our two small families combined (7 of us in total). One family in upstairs bedrooms and one in downstairs two. Wonderful views and great to have two separate living areas so we never felt we were on top of one another. Kitchen very well equipped (with everything we needed apart from a grater). Trips included Schull market on Sunday and Bantry market on Friday. Barleycove beach, Crookhaven, Ballydehob and Three Castle Head. The weather seemed to cooperate with our plans, which included fishing in Schull and Goleen. The Wild West pub in Goleen was great for watching Ire v Canada while lunching. All in all a great week was had by all.
A wonderful cottage and a beautiful part of the world. Ross was a wonderful host. Our second time visiting and we will be back! Couldnât recommend the cottage enough.
What can I say other than this is the perfect place to stay. A wonderful lay out with amazing outdoor spaces. The cottage is in terrific shape with all the room you'll need and in the ideal location. 10 minutes from everything you'll need. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Thank you to the owners for having us stay. We'll for sure be back!
Das Haus hÀlt die Versprechungen des Inserates.
Alle GerÀte sind in relativ neuwertigem Zustand in der Basisversion vorhanden.
KleingerÀte wie Kaffeemaschine, Grill und Wasserkocher könnten gelegentlich ersetzt werden.
The property is in a beautiful location and very private..The house itself wasnt clean.
Showers were very hard to turn on and off.No bathroom mats.Had to use our towels in case our elderly mother fell.Missing kitchen utensils.Garlic crusher ect.Had to get rid of our own rubbish which was approx 15km which cost âŹ20.Had to do it the day we left because of opening hours.In view of cost of rental it should have been included in cost.Overall disappointing experience.
Lovely property in a beautiful quiet part of west Cork
Lovely property, lovely location however the property was dirty, floors were very dirty, lots of cobwebs in the kitchen and upstairs living room. Beds we're not made up when we arrived but this was sorted very quickly.
Reen House is situated in a picture perfect setting . It is situated very close to Schull and Goleen villages and beside gorgeous beaches . There are fantastic views from the house , a great bbq area and the area is peaceful and unspoiled .
The house should be thoroughly cleaned and a little more communication from the property manager would be very helpful .
Overall we had a wonderful holiday and would love to return to the area.
This property has fabulous views especially from upstairs living room! House was roomy and we especially loved the cows in the backyard! Great location in West Cork.
Ons verblijf om en nabij oud en nieuw 2018/2019 in Reen cottage
De woning was op zich prima: genoeg ruimte, open haardje, droger, wasmachine, vaatwasser, twee koelkasten enz. Ook de stoelen waren prima om op te zitten en bestek, borden enz. voldoende. De bedden sliepen goed.
De locatie was prima. Wij hebben enorm genoten van de schiereilanden en de oceaan die daar tegenaan beukt. Veel gewandeld met name de wandeling rond de vuurtoren van Sheephead was fantastisch.Ook een bezoekje aan Crookshaven met zijn pub en Baltimore met zijn prachtige vuurtoren zijn aanbevelingswaardig. De ring of Beara is fantastisch. Wij hebben een deel gereden richting steenkring van Uragh, waardoor wij twee passen door de bergen namen, wat een geweldig uitzicht opleverde.
Wat wij de eigenaar en/of caretaker - Kathleen heb ik trouwens gesproken in de supermarkt van Schull - willen meegeven is een opmerking over de schoonmaak, voorafgaand aan ons verblijf in Reen cottage. De stofzuiger zat vol en als wij het huisje wilden stofzuigen kon daar echt niets bij. Er was geen bezem om binnen aan te vegen en schoonmaakspullen lagen her en der slordig in de kasten. Verder was te merken dat de laatste bewoners in september gebruik hadden gemaakt van de cottage. Er waren spinnenwebben tegen het plafond en onder de bedden lag stof.
De slaapkamer middenboven had een kapotte verwarming en het raam kierde, waardoor het er koud was. In deze kamer zaten koninginnewespen, die door onze aanwezigheid tot leven kwamen (doodeng).
Wij dachten dat de cottage aan de oceaan stond - zo leek het in de omschrijving - maar de oceaan is toch een eindje weg.
Omdat het weer voor Ierse begrippen helemaal goed was hebben wij ook daar enorm van genoten.....
Al met al een paar kanttekeningen rond de schoonmaak van Reen cottage voorafgaand aan de nieuwe bewoners....verder hebben wij het heel goed gehad.
Groet Antonet
Large area around the house with swing and climbing frame, short way to the water, manny occasion inside the house, very good kitchen.
Many leisure facilities - You are in Ireland
We have two kids, aged 6 and 2, and we stayed at Reen Cottage for several weeks. We absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave. From the top floor, the views out over the ocean, Fastnet Rock, and the castle are just breathtaking! We loved walking down to the sea out the back of the house, and the beach, just a short walk down the road. At the beach, the kids were entertained for hours catching all sorts of sea creatures. Oh, and the neighbors are just great! This is a quiet place to relax and unwind - we loved it, and we will be back.

This land belonged to my parents since 1961 and they owned a separate property closeby. Following my Father's death in 1994 I purchased the land from my Mum and we built our dream West Cork home on the site which we have enjoyed for so many years now. We even added a boat two years ago to get the maximum fishing and touring and installed our own mooring closeby which can be used by guests. We even catch our own Lobsters and Shrimp!
When you see the views from the rear of the cottage and experience the sheer peace and quiet you will understand why we chose here. Add to the fact that you can stroll out of the cottage down to the beach only 300 metres away and collect your dinner when the tide is out! Clams, Cockles, Razor Fish and we have even found Oysters! I have spent nearly 50 years holidaying in this exact area and love it as much now as I did when I was a kid. We even have WI-FI
Location, location, location! Fishing from the beach, fishing from the rocks, peace and quiet, privacy, luxury, stunning views, beautiful ocean, great walks from the Cottage and lovely shops and pubs in nearby Schull. Our own secure WI-FI just added.
