Summary: We’ve been returning to Seal Rock Cottage for three consecutive years and recently stayed 8 nights in May. When you find a place that checks all the boxes, it’s a very easy decision. The home’s location, while remote, affords the most spectacular views of Kenmare Bay and the Beara Peninsula. It is a perfect location for day excursions to The Ring of Kerry, the Beara Peninsula, Kenmare, Killarney, Glengarriff and Garinish Island, Bantry, the Healy Pass, and Parknasilla for rounds of golf. The home is just beautifully decorated, always spotless, incredibly comfortable beds, has a wonderful kitchen with great appliances, and a well stocked kitchen. It had everything that we needed to cook many meals. We were so fortunate to have had spectacular weather with sunny skies, warm days and cool nights. It was ideal for sitting outside by the water, sipping on drinks and having fires in the stone fireplace inside in the evenings. Thank you Jane and Michael for sharing your incredible home with us all to enjoy.

Summary: The cottage was everything that we hope for and more. The location is second to none. The pictures of the view. Do not do it justice. The home was immaculate when we arrived and we could not have enjoyed our stay there anymore than we did. Thank you, Jane and Mike for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to return soon.

Summary: This cottage was the perfect place to return after a day of golf and hiking. The September weather was spectacular and we enjoyed our evening glass of wine next to Kenmore Bay.

Summary: The siting above Kenmare Bay afforded stunning views / sunsets. The house itself had a very thoughtful design layout and created the feeling of home. We will return.

Summary: We knew last year that we would return to Seal Rock Cottage and this year we did just that! The views are absolutely spectacular, and the home is warm and spotless! Everything about this home is perfect! If you are looking for a home that is close to Sneem, on the Ring of Kerry, and near the Berea Peninsula, yet away from the hustle and bustle, this is definitely the place. It has a well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, a beautiful stone, wood burning fireplace, and incredible views to watch the magnificent sun sets. Plus the owners are just wonderful and we are thankful to them for sharing their hidden gem with us all! We already booked our return for next year!
