Calm an lovely cottage
We had a nice stay jn a lovely cottage fitting perfectly into the area. Our hosts had already welcomed us with a fire in the fireplace. It is a very quiet area, perfect for relaxing. Thanks to the spacious outdoor area, the children were able to play freely outside. The house is a bit older and the wooden floors are thin on the wall, but we expected that and it didn't really bother us. We enjoyed our stay.

Lots of space
Hosted by the loveliest people, we adored our stay here. We loved the big, comfy couches to sit around the fire on in the evening, a large gravel driveway for the kids to play ball on, three toilets to make bathroom sharing easier in a family of 5 and wifi and lots of TV stations to pick from. Our hosts put the picnic table out when the weather got warm and stopped by to see us on our way and really made us feel like part of the family!

A QUIET PEACEFUL ESCAPE
This was the fourth stay and was up to it's usual high standards with the added bonus of beautiful weather. The property was spotlessly clean, everything in good working order and this time we did not even light a fire. The owners as always very welcoming and hospitable . Travelled a bit further afield this time but not dissappointed finding more beautiful places to explore. Even saw the "Giant" in Limerick!! Thank you again and alrady looking forward to next year

A perfect spot for a week or a month
As a VRBO Host and an owner of a guest house I can sometimes have my expectations not met. I had the pleasure of staying for 3 weeks at the cottage. its well equipped with anything you might need for a relaxing holiday. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, fireplace, salon and a real working kitchen with most everything you need. close enough to the pub and food shop but far enough away to feel isolated. It a real Irish home with out the bells and whistles you might get at a more modern/commercial property. Kathleen and Jack are great hosts, they are less than 1 k away… good communication and very friendly.

Third Visit and Still finding new Places
Our third visit and all came up to expectations with a warm welcome from the owners, arrived to a welcoming log fire and as usual the cottage was spotless and well equipped (sorry about breaking the teapot lid). We enjoyed sampling the delicious food at O'Connors in Bantry and for the first time Jim's Coffee Shop and lunch in Glengarriff. The weather was very good and warm for September . For a first we went to see "Lord of the Dance " at the IEC in Killarney very spectacular good location and will try and coincide a return visit next year with a good show but won't stay at the "Oaks" in Killarney next time. Will return to Sauimneas next year even if it is to see if the wall has been finished!!!

Don’t be telling everybody….
Where to start? A blazing fire in the hearth when we arrived on a cold April afternoon, providing plenty of warmth to the large and comfortable living room. A fine modern kitchen plenty big enough for the family breakfast. Three well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms. All spotlessly clean and well-kept. A warm and friendly welcome too from Kathleen and Jack. We stayed a week, and I wish we’d booked two. It’s located in a lovely quiet area a few kilometres from Ballylickey, and a short drive from Bantry and Glengarriff. Well situated for days out to the magnificent peninsulas of Sheep’s Head and Beara. And in the event of bad weather, somewhere you’d be happy to spend the day, settled down in front of the fire with a good book. A lovely place. Just don’t be telling everybody.

Wonderful Location, Delightful Hosts
This was my second stay at Ballylickey Cottage and my experience with this property and the delightful owners, Kathleen and Jack, has been wonderful both times. These hosts are friendly and responsive property managers who clearly have a sincere interest in their guests having an enjoyable stay. The cottage is in an idyllic countryside location, yet only a few minutes from conveniences such as a Centra market for food and petrol, and Mannings Emporium for artisan treats and outstanding coffee. The bustling town of Bantry is less than 10 minutes away with loads of great places to eat and shops to explore. Popular Glengarriff is just 10 minutes in the other direction. The cottage is very well equipped, clean, and comfortably furnished. There is a wonderful wood stove that keeps the place toasty warm on chilly evenings and the wood basket is stocked with plenty of wood for 2-3 nights (more can be purchased at the nearby Centra). I stayed at the cottage on my own both times and felt very safe and cozy. There is plenty of room for more people, though, with three large bedrooms, two nice bathrooms, and a sizeable kitchen with a dining table that seats six. I felt very much 'at home' staying at this property and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable, convenient, and relaxing home-base while visiting this part of Ireland.

From WOW to ‘ow!!!
Well, where do we start? On the outside it’s a beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting just outside Bantry. On the inside it’s a 1980’s time warped, dated property that is in need of more than a deep clean. Cold, damp and unclean on arrival, the dishwasher rusty, the washing machine taped up, and rusty, the only way to describe our feelings is to say “DUPED” springs to mind. However, this was nothing compared to the arrival of the owners, “Cathleen & Jack”. Jack’s gift of 6 logs was a big help to keep us warm, lasted all of 75 minutes!! That though was the tip the iceberg. Firstly Cathleen told us it was a good job we’d brought our own Christmas tree, as the one she’d promised us was in her garage and she was unaware of its condition. To top that she then announced that we’d have to pay extra for the electricity we were going to use, and VRBO should of told us this. You can imagine our thoughts at 4.30pm on Christmas Eve. Guess what?? A quick check of the T&C’s told us it was included, and the fantastic staff at VRBO confirmed this 2 days later. VRBO we’re absolutely brilliant with us, pity we can’t say the same about the owners, never came near us after. Complained to VRBO, and got written confirmation that I’m within my rights to put these comments in my review. Totally impossible to recommend this property, or anything about it after the our dreadful experience. Shame on you Cathleen.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au cottage de Kathleen. A notre arrivée, la maison était chauffée et nous avons beaucoup aimé le feu de cheminée. Elle se trouve au milieu d'une petite parcelle sans vis à vis, elle est spacieuse et bien équipée. La région du Kerry est magnifique 😍 Un grand merci à Kathleen

Lovely cottage in rural setting, quiet and comfortable. Has everything you need for your self catering needs. Great location with easy access to Bantry Bay and the beautiful coastline of County Cork and Kerry.
