    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Martin - Verified booking

      The property was described as 'luxury' but I'm sorry to say it isn't once you step inside.

      While the house is impressive externally and internally the rooms are exceptionally spacious, the creature comforts are very much lacking. While it sleeps 10, the lounge only seats 7 (the best room in the house), and only 6 can sit around the dining table in the kitchen/diner - which is a huge room with lovely views but lacks furniture and in particular comfortable chairs to sit and relax in. The majority of the crockery had seen better days - plates and bowls faded, odds and sods, chipped; cups/mugs are plentiful but a lot of them are heavily stained. Cooking utensils as in egg flippers, wooden spoons etc had seen far better days. The kettle looked very old and tired and certainly needs replacing. No washing up bowl and the sink plug doesn't stop the water from draining away quite quickly. While there's a dish washer you still need to do some in the sink. The tumble dryer filter hadn't been cleaned for ages and was thick with fluff. The sweeping brush had had it's handle snapped in half. No basket for taking washing out to the line. A number of light bulbs had popped before we arrived. The mattresses in the bedrooms were passed their best and the duvet itself, after we stripped the bed before departing, was very old. It was hard to tell if it had been cleaned. The pillows were the same. The majority of the flooring is tiled which is sensible given the house will probably appeal to those who like the out doors but a few scatter rugs would have made it feel a bit more homely. If you're looking for budget accommodation for a large party and don't mind the negatives then you'll probably have a great time. Putting all of the above to one side, the location is superb.

    • Mallory - Verified booking

      Peter, the owner of Brendan's cottage, seemed like a nice man and was quick to respond whenever we had questions or problems, which we really appreciated.

      That said, the cottage had lots of quirks. The most stressful quirk for us was that we were being charged for all the gas heating and electricity we used while staying in the cottage, as reflected by the meter reading. (This was mentioned in the listing, but it's so unconventional that we didn't notice/understand it when we were making our booking). We stayed for six days and only ended up paying $13, so the expense wasn't bad. However, we were very anxious during our first night or two in the cottage, before we had gotten a good estimate of how quickly our energy expenses could add up. The cottage itself was kitschy, not necessarily in a bad way. It did have spots of mold in a few places. The location was beautiful, and the garden was huge and lovely. All things considered, we were happy to move on to our next bnb when we left.

      Our family enjoyed a lovely holiday in West Cork recently.

      This beautiful house is in a great location, is so spacious, is furnished to a very high standard and is so well equipped with everything one needs to enjoy self catering. 10/10 ⭐️ With large bedrooms & great en-suite bathrooms it is perfectly suited for a large family/group and we would highly recommend this 5 star property. There is also a fabulous balcony to relax on, dine outdoors & enjoy the stunning views. Truly an amazing property, that will make your stay so enjoyable and we will definitely be rebooking in future. Thank you to the lovely owners, it is hard to find words to adequately describe this fabulous property.

      I hope to be back soon!

      Thank you so much for a wonderful week at Gothic Castle Estate. Everything was perfect from the service to the spectacular rooms and estate grounds. The various activities you arranged on our behalf were well organized and enjoyed by all, especially the clay pigeon shooting and fishing. I think however, what made our visit truly special was the warmth with which we were welcomed and the around the clock attention provided by Barry and Gordon. They were absolutely fantastic. Please extend my sincere thanks to them. I hope I will get the opportunity to visit again soon.
