Great house, beautiful views!
We had a wonderful stay at Skellig Bay Cottage! The house was spacious and comfortable and had everything that we needed. The location was perfect for relaxing in front of the views and short day trips to all of the sights. Our favorite part of the house was the large ocean front window. We all took turns sitting in the comfy chairs reading a book or just taking in the scenery of sheep and ocean. Thank you for a great stay in the Ring of Kerry!

Lovely stay in this beautiful home with great amenities. I suspect after a long and probably successful summer there’s some touching up needed during the colder months but overall cleanliness was fine and (despite the monsoon weather) we were all cozy.

Photos can't do this location justice. Simply waking up to the amazing and ever-changing views of Ballinskelligs Bay ensure you're beginning your day on a beautiful note. The house is situated just few minutes' drive from town, meaning you have all the amenities of the village without the tourist crowds coming off the buses to contend with. It's incredibly well-appointed, and dealing with James and Jenny was a true pleasure. We were in Waterville for a wedding, but look forward to coming back to the cottage at a later date for a lengthier stay.

Skellig Bay Haven
I can't imagine a more comfortable and spacious house for the five of us. We never tired of the view of the bay, from the many big windows and from our walks along the little road. The only downside was that it was so pleasant and I was so intimidated by driving that we didn’t head out on lots of adventures like I'd planned!

Great location!
Nice space for a siblings trip. Plenty of elbow room for four independent adults. Kitchen/dining area was utilized a lot. Plenty of books/games to use when chilling at the house. Jenny was helpful in guiding us to the unit in the dark. And the locale - spectacular! Overall, a property I'd recommend if you appreciate amazing scenery and a rustic setting.

Enjoyable holiday in Kerry
Great views, good location for travelling around Kerry. Lovely welcome pack greeted us- much appreciated. Lovely comfortable house with good range of kitchen equipment available. However the company gave us inaccurate details of our contact person - which was embarrassing as that person no longer holds that role. She was very helpful, but the company did not respond when we asked them for assistance in relation to updated details for a contact person. The house would have benefitted from a good deep clean - not just 'dirt from a previous visitor'. The sheets were washed but not ironed (which we would expect in this price range), the sink in the main bathroom was cracked and the mould on the tiles in the ensuite of the main bedroom was quite extensive. We hoovered up at least 8 large spiders in the main bedroom on the first evening of our stay. Overall a lovely house with great potential - just needs some TLC and elbow grease to present it in its best - to paying customers.

Super Stay
This is a gem of a property. The house has fantastic views, is so peaceful and quiet yet located just a few km from a lively and beautiful village of Waterville and the ring of Kerry. Some nice touches also by the owner with a bottle of wine and a Nespresso coffee maker with lots of coffee. It was extremely clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this house and we would love to come back again.

Less excuses and more cleaning
Specifically the property at THIS price point needs to be cleaned properly after each guest/guests check out. We were told the previous guests made a big mess but the dirt we saw was a result of long term neglect in the cleaning department. Sticky floors, chewing gum stuck on window sills, filthy bathrooms and toilets. Needs to do much better. I hate leaving bad reviews and negativity in general but anyone thinking about staying here at this price may want to let their cleaning expectations be known before arriving. We enjoyed ourselves in the area and found everybody to be very nice but blaming previous guests for the state of the house is very inappropriate to put it politely.
