Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Although we took DVDs there was no player so we had to buy one, so good idea to have one in the property."
Otherwise it was perfect, clean and comfy and looked after by the landlady

"Thank you for a fantastic stay."
The cottage is even nicer than the photos, and the view over the bay is magnificent. Sitting in the sun room with an early morning coffee is the perfect way to start your day. Beds, sofas, and chairs are all very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and everything is spotlessly clean. Eleanor is a delight and could not be more friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
Thank you Keith for your very positive feedback. I am delighted you enjoyed your stay at Caola Nua. Look forward to welcoming you back.

"Just back from a fantastic week in Caola Nua."
The house is idealy located on the sheeps head penninsula in west cork, with beautifull sea views to look at from the dining table. The house it self is large, comfortable and finished to a very high standard.
The owner, Eleanor could not be more helpfull and accomadating, as was anyone we met in Killcrohane. A great week with spectacular scenery. We will be back.
Billy thank you very much for your very positive feedback. I am delighted you and Catherine enjoyed your stay in Caola Nua. Look forward to seeing you both again.

"It was all immaculate and we had a wonderful week with good weather."
As the owner knows the second ‘bathroom’ is a tiny shower room which she cannot improve and should perhaps not be advertised as a bathroom.
The scenery is spectacular and the peninsula is gorgeous and the house is beautiful,

"A bit of a strange one,owner met us when we arrived and gave us lots of does and don'ts including which bins to put items in,the mattress in the en-suite bedroom is orthopedic,very hard on my bad hips,there are cupboards locked with padlock and chain(like they dont trust anyone),the en-suite needs an upgrade,the shower is from the 1970s and the fan above the shower sounds like a plane taking off,owner lives behind the cottage which makes you feel a bit "watched" and on the morning of checkout,she first of all went through all the bins outside with a fine tooth comb and found some "spanners" in one of them and told my son it is abuse,,we never put spanners in the bin and cannot think of anyone who would bring spanners from the uk,just to dump in someones bin?"
? they were AF spanners when the uk use metric spanners(strange) and i thought 86 euro for 2 weeks electric was extortionate when we never turned the hot water or heating on and was out almost every day from early morning untill 9 or 10 at night,no wifi and about 10 chanels on the tv,not our best stay in ireland and it was soured by being accused of something so trivial.
I am very disappointed to receive this negative feedback. I meet and greet all my guests to introduce them to the house to ensure they have a pleasant stay. This house is a relatively new build and rated as 5 star. I would suggest you look at some of the previous reviews given.

"A great place to stay."
We turned up to freshly baked cakes and some homemade Jam. The perfect start. Eleanor showed us around and took the time to let us know about the area and gave some top tips.
The house was spotless and as described. Plenty of room and with everything that we required.
We would stay again.

"Caola Nua is a large, wonderful, quality home in an outstanding location, with amazing views and marvellous walks right on the doorstep and a very lovely and helpful owner, who brought me home made bakes (twice!"
).
I enjoyed my stay immensely, including cooking in the luxury large oak kitchen while looking at hills and cows on one side and the sea on the other. It cannot get better than this!
I would definitely recommend this holiday home - but maybe not in the deepest winter if you are used to a permanently warm house and not used to paying extra for heating and electricity (although I completely understand that that's the way most holiday renting is going).

"Caola Nua was lovely, very quiet,very roomy, and beautiful views over Dunmanus Bay."
There were only the two of us, my husband and myself, but even for six, there would have been plenty of room.
Eleanor, the owner, is a lovely lady, very helpful, and her little dog was a frequent visitor during our stay. By the end of our twelve day holiday we felt really at home there, and were sorry to leave.
i am a keen photographer, and the Sheep's Head Peninsula was full of stunning views, absolutely perfect for me! The area was very quiet at this time of year, but I understand, even in the summer, it never gets too busy.

"We enjoyed a fabulous week staying Caola Nua situated in a beautiful location overlooking the sea."
The house was spacious and every window took advantage of the beautiful views which we couldn’t get enough of. The owner of the house is a lovely lady who made us feel very welcome, she left a home made apple pie and scones with jam to greet us on our arrival. We had daily visits from her little dog who was great company. We couldn’t fault the house or the area and would recommend it to anyone who wants a complete switch off from the world, you can’t help but relax here, we will definitely be back.

She even baked us an Apple pie and scones, and was waiting for us on our arrival.
The cottage was in a fabulous location with great sea views and an excellent restaurant nearby as well as a village shop and pub. We appreciated the outside seating and the lovely sun room. Inside everything was immaculate and spacious.
We would recommend the area for walking and cycling and for visiting places like Bantry, Ballydehob, and Glengariff.
Overall, it was excellent value.

KILCROHANE, COUNTY CORK
Bantry 15 miles.
The lively and vibrant village of Kilcrohane is located south west of Durrus as you head towards the end of the Sheep's Head Peninsula, in County Cork. The village takes its name from the Church of St. Crohan founded in the 8th century. The crystal clear waters at the coast of Kilcrohane are exceptional, and provide a great place to swim and explore all of the hidden caves dotted about, while those who prefer to stay on land can enjoy the Sheep’s Head Way and traverse some of its 60 miles of trails. As well as fantastic land and sea scenery, Kilcrohane also has a wonderful traditional music scene, and plays host to the music festival Ceoil on the Coast each year, so no matter what you’re looking for on your Irish getaway, Kilcrohane has something for everyone!
