Wonderful location

We had a wonderful stay at this roomy holiday home with good facilities and provisions. The area is quiet yet the local beach is magnificent and within walking distance. We brought our bikes and the local area was perfect for cycling with quiet roads and interesting coastal routes. Our friends who are musicians enjoyed playing in the local pubs in Cahersiveen, Ballinskelligs and Waterville

Spacious and comfortable house

We spent one week in Ballinskelligs and had a great time there. The house is very spacious and comfortable and is equipped with everything you need. Checking in was easy, too. There is a lot to visit - Kerry Cliffs, castles, ring forts and Skellig Michael, of course this is quite expensive. House and surroundings are quiet and peaceful, but there are several supermarkets in Cahersiveen and a small but well-equipped shop only a few minutes away. A clear recommendation from us - and congratulations to Kerrys win in the All Ireland Final 2025!

Peaceful Recharging Stay

The property was very spacious and very clean with everything we needed. It was perfect for us. Noreen was helpful when asked questions but also gave us 100% privacy. Description was very accurate and no complaints at all. If you are looking for peace, nature and spaciousness this is the place for you. Brandy the dog’s daily visits were also sweet as she is a very well behaved dog.

Best of Ballinskelligs

After a long drive from Shannon Airport, we opened the door to Seashell Cottage and immediately felt like we were home. The scenic surroundings offered us peaceful mornings to lounge over coffee and enjoy the stunning view, and the perfect base to venture out to explore the Skellig Coast — which we have fallen in love with. Our stay was idyllic, and the short trips to Waterville or Cahersiveen to pick up necessities were delightful. Seashell Cottage is very comfortable, the pantry had many essentials, and our host, Noreen, made sure we were well taken care of. Our stay was an absolute dream, and we hope to return again and again.

Our few days of relaxation.

Sea Shell Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. The house is so spacious and the view is unbelievable. It's got all you need for a lovely stay. The walks, scenery, beach, donkeys and ever changing weather, made our time there just so lovely. Not forgetting the daily visits from Brandy, the dog. My husband and I stayed there with two of our friends, they thoroughly enjoyed it too. We would all go back again in a flash! The host was available if we needed anything, just a text away.
