A perfect spot for long or short walks and brilliant for me as I was catching up on some creative work which was completed in the calm and peaceful surroundings of West Cork
Cottage was perfect for a couple. Hosts were super friendly. Most importantly Saffron and Elsa, the welcoming dogs were a delight. The horses and donkey also make this a special experience.
Luxury cabin in the grounds of a country house. We were made very welcome by our hosts. Excellent bathroom with really hot water and a well equipped kitchen. Outside we could walk all over with our dog and it was great to climb to the top, have a drink sitting on the bench admiring the stunning
view.

The location needs more than 5 stars. A beautifully quiet place with bluebells everywhere. Extensive paths through the grounds where the dog could run free. A peaceful and stress free time.
Jackie and Jonathan were friendly and helpful but never intrusive.
We loved our stay in the chalet. It was idyllic. Jackie and Jonathan were great hosts, there when we needed them but never intrusive. The chalet had everything we needed and more. Sitting having breakfast in the company of the donkeys was our piece of heaven. We couldn't recommend Rock Cottage more strongly.
We had a fantastic break. Jackie was was a friendly and helpful host. We were free to explore the extensive grounds- the views are spectacular, especially at sunset. The chalet is lovely. Very comfortable with everything as pictured. A little slice of paradise! We were visited regularly by Elsa and Saffron the dogs and enjoyed our evening strolls to visit the ponies and donkey. The surrounding area is stunning - there is so much to see and do. We enjoyed daily sea swims and exploring the coastline. We can't recommend this place highly enough!
Itâs magic, really, we didnât wanted to leave because there is just so much more to explore; J&J have such a wonderful way of making sure u feel at easeâŠthe ponies and the donkey and the dogs and the chickens and the ducks and then the hares are just rounding it up so u spent ur time in the best company- even if u are just staying put at rockcottage. And the countryside is just amazing, the coast is just around the corner and u stay just a short drive away from all these beautiful and vivid villagesâŠwe couldnât have wish for more. Thanks a million for having us
I loved my 'glamping' experience. I feel at home on the property and John was the perfect host. Everyone I encountered made me feel so welcomed. Serendipitously, my visit coincided with the West Cork Food Festival. What a great experience to participate in events that bring together all of West Cork's communities. I was able to find plenty of vegan/vegetarian food options. Highlights of my first week include the Ewe Experience and Two Green Shoots, Sheep's Head lighthouse, Heritage Museum in Skibbereen and Organico in Bantry. Spinning classes with Daniel and Linda from Daniel Martin fitness were really good, and yoga with Bella was super relaxing. On to my second week...and more events to write about. Such a beautiful part of the world. I am so lucky!
Angenehme Leute, schöne Landschaft rauhe Felsen, lĂ€ndliche Gegend, Wanderungen an der KĂŒste mit bemerkenswerten Aussichten, Orte mindestens 20 min mit dem Auto zu erreichen, 2 Ponys und ein Esel direkt neben dem Ferienhaus, Ferienhaus 16mÂČ, Badestrand im Sommer 20 km entfernt
Very cute little chalet in a wonderful garden. The host was very nice and helpful. The surrounding is very attractive but you need a car to go places. Beautiful Barley Cove Beach is roughly 20 min drive. Donât miss the short hike to Three Castle Head.
We had a lovely stay in this cottage. The property is beautiful and has loads to explore. There are walks with stunning views and lots of friendly animals. We found the cottage had plenty of amenities for our stay, but the best part is how easy it is to explore the area from here. I would recommend the cottage for a couple, but probably not a family as it would be a bit small for more than 2 people. We'd definitely like to visit again.
Mooie locatie en omgeving. Gastvrije en behulpzame eigenaren, zonder opdringerig te zijn. Fijne, schone accommodatie met goede voorzieningen (bv. scherpe messen komen we zelden tegen). Alleen het bed liet wat te wensen over. Al met al een zeer plezierig verblijf.
We had a great week staying at Rock Cottage, the setting is beautiful the grounds are stunning and spacious. The chalet itself is hidden away with a private patio and resident ponies over the fence. The chalet is well kitted out with super kitchen and great shower, comfy bed and tv (we didn't use it). Lovely touch with the flowers and free eggs as a welcome. Will certainly recommend to others, we loved it
The chalet is very compact. It took some discipline and organisation to make our stay comfortable. The bed is very comfortable and the shower and bathroom are very good. It would benefit from additional storage, even some shelves or coat/clothes hooks. It was, of course, great value for money.
Very friendly reception. Everything catered for by Jacqueline and Jonathan. The location was perfect for us to relax and enjoy our short stay. The cottage and grounds are fabulous with very friendly animals (dogs, donkeys and ponies). Will definitely return.
This was our first experience at Glamping. We arrived with open minds ready to make-do no matter. Our experience was just amazing. It became for us an enchanting oasis in an area of West Cork with which we were unfamiliar. We couldnât have selected a better location. It was central to all. A magnificent compact dwelling, artistically furnished with a delicate, yet tasteful awareness of all that is beautiful in nature. Thank you Jacqueline for our most memorable trip to Schull and surrounds. We loved every moment.
The property was spotless and very comfortable. The hosts were wonderful and welcoming. The animal hosts Saffron and Elsa are also very welcoming and friendly. Truly a beautiful place surrounded by great scenery and lots of places to explore within a 30 minute drive.
Absolutely beautiful spot! Friendly , warm hosts. Lovely garden and trails. Fully equipped and comfortable coziness. I would highly recommend this spot.
Lovely little chalet surrounded by nature. If you are looking for some peace and quiet it is the perfect place for you. The chalet is compact but perfect for a couple.
Absolut ruhige Tage konnten wir im Chalet verbringen und die Landlords sind so etwas von sympathische, freundlich und hilfsbereit.

I am a fun loving individual who loves travelling and meeting new people. My particular passion are the animals here at Rock Cottage and the beautiful unspoilt landscape. My interests are walking, photography & cooking. I love to go walking around this part of Ireland and exploring all the beautiful sites. My passion is to go to the local farmers' markets and cook with locally grown produce.
Having rented Rock Cottage for over a year, I decided to purchase this beautiful place and continue with this well established holiday accommodation business. The gardens, paddocks and surrounding hillsides are stunning, particularly the 360 degree view from the top of the garden overlooking Dunmanus Bay, The Sheeps Head and on the other side the hills and Mt Gabriel.
