Cottage vacation rentals in Ring of Kerry Holiday Cottages

It’s hard to even describe the beauty of this place, the cottage was perfect and the amenities are wonderful, everything you need to have a great time. The grounds are truly breathtaking, there is a real magic about this property, loved every minute. Gerard and Ann were excellent hosts, thank you!

My family stayed at Esther's place for 4 nights. We had the most wonderful time! The house has beautiful views of the ocean and is a short walk from both Inchydoney beach and the hotel. The house was clean and spacious with room for the whole family including our dog. Esther was welcoming and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area. We would definitely recommend Esther's place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the beach!

Had a lovely few days away staying in Kate's accommodation. She was very helpful and great to deal with. The accommodation was perfect for a quiet getaway and met all of our needs, would recommend to a friend.

I could not recommend a stay at these poolside cottages enough! Great value for money. Ideal for a romantic short break away. The location is perfect and the cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The nearby town Clonakilty is worth a trip to and is easily accessible by car or taxi,

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Absolutely gorgeous place. Really quiet and peaceful.

Gérards place is a must-stay if staying in Clonakilty. We swam every day in the heated pool, played tennis in the afternoon in their private tennis court and walked the local area as well. Stunning grounds to walk as well around the property. 100% would stay again Thank you Connor

This was the cottage experience we were hoping for in Ireland! We loved the character of the cottage with so much thought put into every detail and texture. The art and decor were very tasteful and the amenities were good and practical. We especially loved making a fire each night even though we aren't terribly experienced at it! And the views from all the windows of the peaceful vegetation were so calming. And the private sitting areas in the yard were delightful - one with an ocean view! Their dog was sweet and friendly, too. The instructions for using the hot water were clear, but somehow we mixed them up so struggled a little with the shower but got it straight eventually! Aisling and Donagh were delightful hosts. A short drive away, Baltimore is a true gem of a town with breathtaking scenery and a rich cultural scene, and it even has a michelin star restaurant if that's your speed. Plus the fun algiers pub! We hope to come back again soon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kevin's home, the house was as described and the location was great with lovely walks and views from the doorstep. The walk to zetland pier for a swim was the highlight for us, Hopefully we'll be back next summer.

Annette was a great host from start to finish. Very responsive, attentive, and a very friendly person in general! A welcome hamper for the first breakfast was there for us when we arrived, which was a lovely touch! The house was as described, very clean and cosy, and an excellent launch pad for travelling around the county. Has all the utensils you need for cooking too, which we made good use of. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants something private, has dogs, and wants to see the local sites. Thanks again, Annette!!!

Fabulous location and the cottage so cosy. Helen was a wonderful host.

Mairéad was the friendliest and most helpful host, giving us suggestions of what to see and do, even booking a table at a local restaurant for us. Even more special were the welcoming scones, butter and jam on the table and Mairéad turning up to greet us with an armful of beautiful, freshly cut garden flowers! Jenny the donkey and the local pusscat that joined us on our walks were an added bonus! All in all a lovely, homely cottage in a stunning location… highly recommend!

The most beautiful place and the most accommodating host we have stayed with in Ireland or the UK. They went the extra mile with small gestures to make us feel welcome. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

Probably the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. The house was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed. Collette’s kitchen was filled with snacks and groceries for breakfast and she brought us freshly baked scones in the morning for breakfast. To be honest, probably the best scones we’ve ever had. Would 100% recommend this listing to anyone who wants to enjoy a few nights in the peace and quiet away from the city.

If you want a quiet place and close to the ocean, this is it. A pleasant drive to Killorghlin for shops and pubs. We stayed 5 nights. It was restful. Anne greeted us when we arrived and when we left. A lovely graceful lady

Una’s cottage was a wonderful place to stay in. It was in a peaceful location surrounded by very scenic countryside. The cottage was comfortable and very well equipped for self catering. The shower was great. Una was an excellent host and always helpful. She could suggest lots of places to visit. We would recommend Una’s cottage to anyone, who appreciates comfort in peaceful surroundings.

We stayed here for 6 nights and had an amazing time. At first the house was quite chilly due to strong winds, but with the fireplace it luckily became warm fastly. Matt and Maura are such accomodating and welcoming people, who made us feel at home fast. They gave us fresh eggs from their hens and lots of good tips for the area. There is also a Sauna now, which you can book. We got extra towels for the sauna and for surfing, too. All in all our stay at the acumeen farm was a great experience and made us fall in love with this part of Ireland.

The most charming, romantic cottage! Small, beautiful garden in front, like a postcard. Ginny was so responsive and helpful. This was our second stay here and we hope to be back again next year.

Our two week stay at Ocean Blue was far beyond what we could have imagined. A slice of heaven graced by two angels in Meg and Mike. Beautiful view, immaculate, perfectly equipped and fully upgraded but at the same time it really felt like we were able to sink into and appreciate genuine country life in Ireland. It was good for the soul!

Amazing little cottage just outside Killarney! Peaceful setting but close enough to explore the national park. Breeda was a great host and the cottage had everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen, bathroom and everything was clean.

Bells Cottage is a magical place right out of a fairytale! Not only is the cottage beautiful, but every detail of the space is thoughtfully and lovingly arranged. There were vases of beautiful wildflowers on the tables when we arrived - we immediately felt like we were at home. The location is also a perfect, peaceful place for exploring the area. Walking the Caragh View Loop trail is an absolute must. The trailhead is a few minutes drive from the cottage and the views are spectacular. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay! There is a quiz sent to you before you confirm your booking.. take this seriously as the cottage is unique and the hosts are warning you its not for every one! But it was perfect for us! Stunning location! Heating/hot water, washing machine, fire places and clean comfy beds! Yes it has its quirks but you are told of this before booking! We spent one of our days at the cottage due to heavy rain and high winds and it was warm cozy and we felt incredibly lucky to see the sheep walking past the windows but not another soul. The house is surrounded by the Black Valley and has stunning scenery all around.. mountain passes, waterfalls and picturesque views! No amenities are close except a small cafe which only excepts cash. For ease make sure you have confirmed check in details before arriving (we didnt and with the owner living in LA we struggled to recieve details before check in time but he couldnt of been more helpful and caring once we got him). Great place!!
