Charming 3-bed Beachside Retreat in St Helen’s Bay
This Spacious home in the golf course community was a great place to stay even if you don't know what golf is. The sunny dining room table surrounded by three sides of glass was my favorite spot, You're close to beaches, the ferry terminal and plenty of Irish hospitality. The close-by lighthouses and the windmill were a bonus.

Stunning Cottage, next to a castle, Carne, Wexford
Beautiful space, all furniture and fittings were very high end - even the Game of Thrones swords! Facing on to a lovely, peaceful courtyard. Check-in was super easy. Richard was very friendly and helpful and gave us loads of good recommendations for places to eat. An excellent stay - we'll be back.

An Teach Beag, Log Cabin
Staying in Cobh was an absolute delight, and this Airbnb truly made our trip! The ease of parking was a huge plus, especially after a day of exploring. Inside, the comfort factor was off the charts – we felt right at home and slept wonderfully. But what truly made this stay magical were the adjacent animal friends! Waking up to horses (especially the one who adores pets!) and other farm animals was such a unique and charming experience. It added so much character to our mornings. And speaking of mornings, the hosts' thoughtfulness in delivering fresh eggs for breakfast was incredibly kind and so appreciated. It's those little touches that make a stay truly memorable. We can't recommend this Airbnb enough for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of rural charm in Cobh!

Seascape Bliss·Coastal Retreat in Youghal`s heart
Great host. Had no problem rearranging visit when I had a death in the family. Thanks we had a great stay.

Frontline Beach bungalow facing Marina/saltees
Patricia was an excellent host. Super responsive at all times. The cottage is without doubt the best location in Kilmorequay. The views onto the beach are just spectacular. Sitting on the terrace at night just listening to the waves was amazing. The cottage was very clean. Beds very comfortable with great quality bed linen. Make sure to check out Mary Barry’s restaurant in the next village over (Complimentary bus service over and back). I can’t wait to come back. Thank You.

Spectacular 3-bedroomed townhouse, private parking
Quick, 1 night stay, but Mary was a great hostess. The townhouse was perfect for our group. Lovely view too!

Maplegrove cottage
We had a wonderful few days at Maplegrove Cottage. It is a beautiful place in very peaceful surroundings and was absolutely spotless with everything we could need. Everything had been thought of. Noleen was a very helpful and friendly host, available if needed but left us to get on with our stay. Would highly recommend.
