Holiday houses in Gurteen

Mary went above and beyond to provide us with an amazing stay. We were arriving late so she made sure we had food and milk supplies in to save a mad dash in the morning to a shop. As we arrived, the log fire was roaring and so homely and comforting. I could not fault the hospitality we received. Thank you for an amazing stay and would definitely stay again when visiting family. Thanks a million Mary - a rare find of a host!!

From beginning to end, a fabulous getaway for three nights. The cottage is as described, a beautiful seafront location, steps from the strand. A very cozy home, and my favourite spot was sitting on the window seat watching the waves or reading. The kitchen has everything you need for holiday cooking, but the Saltee Chipper (try the monkfish) as well as the great breakfast place on the corner and Mary Barry's a few minutes up the road for dinner, means you won't need to cook much! Beds are comfortable and showers are good. We love the sea and that's what this cottage is all about. Direct access to a stone free sandy beach for a daily swim or two. The sauna, just steps away, was fabulous and just €15 for 45 minutes. 10/10 from us, we're already looking at dates to see when we can return to this little slice of heaven.

Myself and my wife and two dogs had a really great stay at Colm's cabin. It's exactly as it looks in the photographs. The weather was very cold while we were there but the cabin was always cozy. The location was perfect for us - it's quite remote but wonderfully peaceful and situated right on the lakeside so benefited from the relaxing sound of the water lapping. The cabin is about a 5min drive/25min walk to a really nice bar/restaurant (Larkins) which is worth a visit - if you're planning on walking there its a good idea to bring a torch (we used our phone torches) as the road is dark and has no footpaths. Colm was a really great host - very responsive and helpful. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend.
