We had a really enjoyable stay. The views from the deck were beautiful and it was a wonderfully peaceful location. We found the cottage very welcoming and cosy and it was a lovely getaway.

If you want to experience the peace and tranquillity that West Cork has to offer, you'll find it here at Herons Cove. The house is well equipped, comfortable, pretty and full of interest. The Sheehans have thought of everything because they have used it as a holiday cottage themselves - unlike some places where you have the the necessities but no atmosphere. A beautiful view over the inlet, framed by pretty garden plants (the roses and lavender were glorious when we stayed!) we were lucky to be able to watch seals and sea birds as the tide ebbed and flowed. Loved it! Thank you Kathleen and Tony.

What an amazing place! Kathleen & Tony welcomed us with a lovely food hamper. The cottage is equipped with everything you could think of & very spacious. The views from the decking are truly magnificent.We saw seals in the bay & lots of different birds so take binoculars. Is an ideal base for traveling around the Mizen & Sheeps Head peninsulas. Crookhaven, Barley Cove, Bantry, Schull, Skibbereen are all worth a visit asis Mizenhead. A stroll in Balllydehob is a must as the bridge is fabulous. Plenty of pubs in town! Having
your own beach at the bottom of the garden is wonderful, so quiet.You will have a wonderful holiday here. We will return again & again to this most wonderful little piece of heaven! Thank You Kathleen &Tony for making us so welcome

Sea frontline, Antonio’s Ristorante & Pizzeria at the village is great, close to Baltimore, Nice drive

We recently stayed at Herons Cove Cottage for 10 days. We were attracted by the cottage itself, the quiet location, the local cuisine, and the West Cork area in general.

From the moment of making a booking enquiry to the moment of departure, the owners were extremely prompt, helpful, and friendly...just lovely people! No question or inquiry was too much.

Upon arrival at the cottage, we were delighted to find that it was every bit as beautiful as it looked in the photos. This cottage is so warm and cosy, and is set on a beautiful quiet cove which put us in a state of relaxation immediately; settling in was effortless. We were particularly struck by how generously the cottage is fitted out, in all respects, including bedding, kitchen equipment, childrens games, books, towels, soaps, and just everything really. The beds and sofas are extremely comfortable, and there is nothing which was not provided. We were very impressed.

During the time we spent there, we were thrilled to find that practically everything is within a 15 min drive, give or take a little. The cottage is very centrally located for West Cork in general. Ballydehob, a beauitful friendly Irish village, is only a few mins drive away, and Skull, Skibbereen and Bantry are all within a 15 min drive. Baltimore is approx 20 mins drive. Barley Cove beach and Crookhaven are within 30 mins, and are so worth the drive - breathtakingly beautiful. All of the nearby towns have superb restaurants, from very reasonably priced to more expensive if you want to really treat yourself. Antonio's is an Italian restaurant located right in Ballydehob, and is a lovely experience with authentic quality Italian food, lovely staff, and very affordable.

All in all, we had a tremendous break, and loved the whole area, but in particular we couldn't say enough about the cottage, it has everything for the perfectly relaxing holiday, and the location couldn't be better as it is so central to everything. We're already planning our next holiday there

Me and my husband wanted go away from everybody for a New Years. Choosing this cottage was the best decision. We stayed only for 2 nights, but it was hard to leave. It definitely felt like from home to home. Inside is beautiful , very cozy clean.In the pictures living room looks bit small, but is not.In the house you can find everything you need ( even cooking books, toys for kids and a lot of everything else.) I would definitely recommend for a families with kids, for a couples, someone who wants to run away from everybody. I definitely will come back.
