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.
What a wonderful cottage. Stunning scenery and not too far to travel to Skibereen for shopping. Large, spacious, clean and very comfortable. Fully enclosed garden that the pooch loved. Highly recommended

"Lough Cluhir Cottage was very welcoming, the owner was fantastic accommodating us at short notice (saving our holiday)."
The cottage was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a great location for exploring the area. The information book was full of well written instructions and plenty of recommendations.
Would definitely stay there again.

"Another great stay at Lough Cluhir cottage."
A perfect home from home. The garden is great for our dog and the location is so quiet and relaxing.
The house has been updated with new sofas and furniture and the photos don’t do it justice. Cannot fault this place and look forward to our next stay

"We had a super stay at Lough Cluhir Cottage at the end of August with a week of fabulous weather."
House was super for 2 adults, 2 kids and a dog with everything you need and very well stocked. Really comfortable and a short hop into Union Hall for a lovely pint in Dintys. We explored all the local places and visited a different beach every day. Highly recommend the house and the area. Highlights were a day trip to Sherkin Island and delicious dinner in Glandore. We'll hope to be back very soon.

"From the easy to follow booking process, to the seamless check-in/check-out experience, our stay at the Lough Cluhir cottage was wonderful."
The location is rural and you will need to rely on the car for your day to day activities but it is close to lovely villages and major sights.
The house is in excellent condition, offering a large, open plan area in the kitchen, living room. It feels like a home, rather than a holiday rental.
Fast WiFi enabled us to work remotely from the cottage by day and and enjoy the views of the lake and cows on the fields.
Whilst we had a couple of smaller issues with the plumbing, the owner went out of her way to make sure we got the help we needed.
Strong Recommendation for anyone looking to escape to the country in a tranquil setting.

"The area is beautiful and so is the cottage, everything you need is there even a jacuzzi bath (we don't have this at home) Fast internet with which you can telephone around the world by installing the 'viber out'app."
There are lots of books and DVD's and lots of TV Channels or Netflix (with your own account) to make a choice of.
From the cottage you can have a walk around the lake and enjoy the nature and when it's raining you can visit Skibbereen, Bantry, Clonakilty where you visit museum or historical houses. In the cottage you find a booklet which informs you very well about all the tourist and dining possibilities in the area.
We wish you a happy stay in

"This is a lovely comfortable cosy cottage."
It is well laid out, with a fully equipped kitchen, excellent wi-fi, a smart TV with netflix built in and an enclosed garden that was prefect for our dog. The location is very good, with lovely rural walks on the door step, close to a small village and easy access to the scenic sites of West Cork. we can recommend the local restuarants in Union Hall and Glandore. There is also a small fish shop in the village selling the fresh fish right of the boats that is wroth a visit. We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend this cottage
