Ideal Getaway
Lovely all around... The cottage was clean, comfortable, light and bright, with beautiful views of the bay. The setting was private and peaceful. A well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds helped make our long stay feel like a home-away-from-home ideal getaway.

This was our 3rd or 4th stay in the property but have been coming to the area for last 15yrs. The house is beautiful with everything you might need. The view is stunning. It is quiet and close to pub and restaurants. The Beara Peninsula has much to offer for all ages. We will be booking again.

The property is very well appointed, clean and beautifully located with clear views across the bay and into the West. Add a little sun and you get a perfect hideaway to relax and recharge. It is also easy to get around if you want to explore Kerry and West-Cork.

This is our third stay in Rockwell and once again we had a wonderful holiday. On arrival the house was spotless and a most welcome coffee,milk,and biscuits awaited....just what we needed after a long journey. Cottage is exceptionally well equipped and the views are spectacular. It is perfectly situated for exploring both Beara Peninsula and Mizen Peninsula. Once again we were blessed with good weather.

Lovely holiday
The property was very good and everything we could have hoped for. A little upset that the bushes looking out to the sea were 6ft. high and obscured the view, together with a tree in need of some attention, nothing like in the pictures. Asking you to take the bins down a very steep drive every week would be too much for anyone with mobility problems. We are in our late sixties and really struggled, but we're not prepared to pay the property manager to be called out.

We have been holidaying in Lauragh for at least 10 yrs so it's obvious how much we love it. It is a very quiet location but a great base to see around Beara Peninsula. This is our 2nd year staying in Rockwell and it is undoubtedly the best we have ever stayed in......absolutely spotless, well equipped, beautiful views, and that all Important peacefulness. We are already looking forward to next year.

Rockwell Cottage is a fantastic rental house. The property is very clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and really generous living space. The bedrooms are a great size with comfortable mattress and plenty of storage space. The house is an excellent spot from which to explore all that Beara has to offer.

Holiday on Beara Peninsula.. ....our favourite place in Ireland. Lakes, mountains
A fabulous house with fantastic views all around. Spotless with everything you could possibly need. Very smooth communication regarding payment, location, keys etc. A truly tranquil area with beautiful flora and fauna. And my husband says the best pint of guinness in Ireland at Helens on pier. Have already booked for next year.

What a lovely place in a picturesque setting would happily stay here again. A bit remote but everything was easily accessible with short drives. Loved the house, loved the location, didn't want to leave. The house was exactly as pictured with everything you could possibly need. Excellent in every way

Superb staycation
This was our third visit to Rockwell as we just love the house and the location on the glorious Beara peninsula. The house is so comfortable and well-equipped...we enjoyed cooking for ourselves in the spacious kitchen and eating at a table with one of the best views in Ireland!! Elaine made all the communications and instructions very easy for us and was contactable at any time for advice or assistance. I highly recommend this property for anyone wishing to tour Kerry/Cork. The house is within an hour's driving to Killarney and the lovely town of Kenmare (for good restaurants and shopping) is only 20 mins away. Helen's Bar is a 10 min drive or a 1/2 hour walk from the house and does great food and excellent Guinness. Can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic visit
The property is on the coast road, which is a narrow road. The view once you get there is amazing. The house had everything we needed for our trip and was as seen in photos. Shop before you get to the property as the nearest supermarket is in Kenmare. If you want a quiet place to stay then this is for you.
