Staying at Sunset

Review Submitted: January 20, 2012 Date of Stay: July 2011
Sunset is a lovely cottage with features that would suit any family with small or older children - fine sized rooms, safe gardens, near enough to, but out of danger from, the water. It also has a lovely hiseaway room for parents. It is located away from traffic but within an easy walk, cycle or buggy push to local shops. In case you need it, bring a travel gate for the stairs! We found Des really helpful and willing to help us get settled.

Traumhafter Aufenthalt im "Sunset Cottage"

Review Submitted: January 12, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
In diesem Jahr entschieden wir uns, die Tage rund um Silvester einmal ganz anders zu verbringen und mieteten das Ferienhaus „Sunset Cottage“ in Ballinskelligs (vier Freundinnen aus Deutschland). Vom Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn aus gibt es sehr günstige Flüge nach Kerry, von dem man mit dem Mietwagen dann eine gute Stunde bis zum Cottage unterwegs ist.
Ab dem ersten Moment waren wir sehr begeistert von der Größe und der guten Ausstattung dieses Hauses. Uns erwartete ein fertig vorbereiteter Kamin und eine Flasche Wein und so fühlten wir uns von Anfang an sehr wohl. Das Haus übertraf unsere Erwartungen und der Torfkamin schaffte es auch im „kalten“ Winter, den Wohnraum kuschelig warmzuhalten. Wir genossen die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit ohne Lärm, mitten in der Natur nur ein paar Fußschritte vom Meer entfernt.

Bei Fragen war Des sofort vor Ort und gab uns sehr gute Tipps für Touren und sogar die Abendgestaltung an Silvester (Bridge Bar in Portmagee, nur zu empfehlen!). Balliskelligs ist ein sehr guter Ausgangsort für eine Tour auf dem Ring of Kerry, nach Dingle oder der in der Nähe liegenden Valentia Island, dem Skellig Ring etc.., alles Ziele, die unvergessliche Eindrücke bei uns hinterlassen haben.

Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen, gut geeignet für alle Altersklassen und Reisende, die Ruhe sowie nach der ganz besonderen Schönheit Irlands suchen!
Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub!

Beautiful holiday home in a great location

Review Submitted: September 22, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Sunset Cottage was exactly as described on the web-site. We are just back after spending three nights there. Des the owner was extremely helpful and gave us very good tips on finding the best places to visit and eat in. The house itself has everything you need. Even found a rolling pin in the kitchen to roll out my pizza dough ! The house is spotlessly clean and very luxurious.

The location is great. Two beaches within a few minutes from the house.This area of Kerry has the most spectacular views everywhere you go. I would certainly recommend this beautiful house for a really relaxing stay in a stunning part of Ireland.

Lovely time in Ballinskelligs

Review Submitted: July 24, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Lovely holiday home. Good size for 2 families with nice garden for the kids. Des was very helpful. The location is super, 2 minute walk to the pier and small beach and 1 minute drive to the main Ballinskelligs beach. Its only a 10 minute drive to the beautiful St. Finians Bay and a little further to lovely Portmagee and Valentia Island. On a fine day there is also a beautiful drive/hike along the side of Bolus head, accessed by turning left before Ballinskelligs beach. Derrynane beach is about 30 mins away and is one of the nicest in Ireland. We stayed for 2 weeks and had a great holiday.

Brilliant Holiday Home and Location!

Review Submitted: July 5, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
My wife and I (both early 30's) stayed here for four nights and it was everything we wanted and more. We came to Sunset Cottage simply wanting some peace and quiet as well as the ability to have an outdoor activities holiday. The location was perfect for all of this. It's a great slice of Ireland that is both remote enough for tranquility and close enough to the relative creature comforts of life.

The area is absolutely gorgeous with some of the most amazing drives I've done on the island north and south. The Skellig Ring and Valencia Island drives are brilliant and on par with the Ring of Kerry and slightly better in some areas. There is a very modern local pub which draws a pretty happening weekend crowd within a 15 minute walk and a brilliant beachside cafe that on sundays hosts a very cool bohemian market.

As for the Sunset Cottage its self, I cannot say enough good things about it. It's a large home and perfect for couples, groups or families. Desi, the owner is a great guy who has thought of everything you'd need for a self catering holiday. There are two living/family type rooms with a fireplace as well as large size washer and dryer and dishwasher. I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience here and am very glad we made the decision to drive the 6.5 hours from Belfast. As an American who lives permanently here, it truly added to the mystique and beauty of this beautiful and majestic island.
