"The food was amazing and the breakfast was the best I had during my whole trip. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly! The grounds are beautiful."

"Wonderful host. Lovely breakfast."

"On arrival the check-in experience was amazing and the staff were extremely welcoming and hospitable. We were also fortunate enough to receive a complimentary upgrade, which was very much appreciated, upon arrival for a special occasion. Our room views were breathtaking and the room was comfortable, beautifully decorated and furnished, and completely accessible. However, we found that given the 5star status that the bathroom maintenance and cleanliness fell short of our expectations. The shower seals, tiles and grout were black with mould as was the rain shower head, which wasn't operating correctly as a result, there was also no shower gel in the shower gel dispenser (however) the staff did get this filled promptly once we reported it). Unfortunately, breakfast also fell short of our 5 star expectations. We were served cold toast that was barely toasted, when we ordered our cooked breakfast we requested another serving of brown toast, disappointingly breakfast was served without the toast. We requested it again, along with tomato ketchup, from the same server and waited for a further 10 mins before requesting sauce and toast, yet again, however only this time from a different server. We received our sauce, eventually but we never received any toast or was the error or failings acknowledged by any of the staff that we had spoke to. Needless to say we left breakfast disappointed, packed up and checked out. This was a really disappointing experience given the cost."

"Fantastic overnight break, peaceful & tranquil. Extremely clean & tidy and love the touch of the toothbrush. "

"We did not have breakfast but regarding the stay, it was excellent. Due to the time of year (just after Christmas), there were very few other guests at the place, but I would expect it would be much more active in the Summer. No complaints."

"The house was great, the view was unbeatable. It was a great little place with everything that you could need there. Would recommend and would definitely recommend watching the sunrise at this spot! Unmatched! The host was so friendly and helpful, answered questions very quickly. "

"Charming cottage in beautiful bucolic setting, but more isolated than I anticipated. Thought Youghal would be within walking distance, but due to coastline it was a 13-minute drive. Also, while there were walking routes outlined in owners' material, it felt unsafe to walk on the narrow roads. Chalk that up to rural Ireland I guess, but we as tourists felt we couldn't take advantage of the surrounding beauty on foot.Rules felt restrictive: bring slippers & do not walk on the floors without them, do not cook anything greasy, keep pans covered when you cook, and only eat the table - protect the wood! Brighty the caretaker was cheerful and helpful.Highlight of the stay was when the farmer up the road moved his herd of magnificent cattle down to the field directly across the road. Only stayed a couple of days as part of a broader tour through Ireland."

"This place is a hidden gem, I really enjoyed this little family getaway. Each yurt has a stove, a campfire come bbq outside our yurt. Your own parking space. Your own bathroom. A communal shower and a communal kitchen with your own press equipped with all you need for cooking and dining. And your own space in the communal frigde. The beach is a 15 minute walk. A shop and pub close by too. And fota wildlife is a 25 min drive. Lots of things to do around the site for kids too. There's animals on site, you can even bring your own pet. Lots and lots of plants, you will really feel at one with nature here. A dream. I think it would be a lovely place to get married. "
