• "Super house, extremely well kitted out and in the lovely grounds of the main house, with a sweeping view across the valley towards Bantry."

  The hosts couldn't have been nicer, lovely to chat to, helpful and genuine. It's a great location for touring stunning West Cork, particularly Sheep's Head and the Beara peninsulas. We (3 adults and a big dog!) had a really fantastic week and would highly recommend Rock Lawn.

• "We have stayed at holiday accommodation booked via Sykes a number of times over the last 10 years."

  Whilst all have been appointed to a consistently high standard, the property owner on this occasion was the most welcoming host; offering useful suggestions and making sure we had worked out how to use everything without being intrusive.The cottage was exactly as described and immaculate.(Just as an aside, we did wonder if the bed in the smaller double room was getting a bit worn. We found it very soft but realise we are possibly a bit larger than average- just something to keep an eye on)

  Thank you Craig , glad you enjoyed your stay . Property Owner

• "A delightful and well equipped house - very comfortable Our hosts were very welcoming, and made it very clear that were there anything we needed, we only had to ask."

  The location is great, very quiet, lovely countryside all around, and easy access to some great places in the West Cork area. I should add that wherever we went we encountered the same friendly welcome that we had from the house owners. It is a great place for a holiday, and we really enjoyed it.

  Modern, well equipped, clean, peaceful and spacious house. Located well to explore West Cork and Kerry with Bantry located within 10 mins drive for supply's or a meal if staying local. Weather got chilly in November but heating worked well and the house remained cosy. Stayed with a young family and it worked out great. The host Claire was very nice and friendly and always on hand for advice if required. Happy to recommend this house and I'm sure we'll return.

• "We toughly enjoyed our stay in Rock Lawn cottage and our holiday in the Bantry / West Cork area."

  We received a very warm welcome on arrival, despite arriving very late, after midnight, due to being caught-up in the tail end of a storm! The cottage is spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. It is in the country-side so very quite, just the distance noise of sheep and horses. However it is only around 12 minutes to the centre of Bantry, with its supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and lots of independent shops. There are lots of thinks to explore in the area both by land and sea and a week was nothing like enough time. We will be back.

• "Rocklawn Cottage is an extremely well appointed holiday cottage in a most picturesque, rural, tranquil location."

  In addition to the many “tourist destinations”, the immediate area around the cottage is well worth exploration. The area is ideal for those who enjoy quiet walks along the flower-bedecked lanes. Our host, Claire, was most welcoming and informative about the local area. She has anticipated everything her guests might need in the house. We had a wonderful holiday in Kealkill and will definitely return.

• "Superb This was a late booking to visit family in the local area."

  The pictures do not do this lovely cottage justice. There are three large bedrooms (very comfy) and a fantastic bathroom upstairs, loads of hanging and storage areas in the rooms and in the under eaves areas. The open plan kitchen/diner and lounge is both large and comfortable. The kitchen includes everything you will need, modern, loads of worktop for the keen chefs out there, large fridge and completely separate freezer. Separate utility area houses the washing machine and leads to a very large second bathroom with walk in shower/wet room and toilet. Outside there is plenty of space for chilling out with rattan style furniture and benches and a large covered area at the rear of the cottage for washing (i left my bike under there). Wifi was good speed which was a bonus as I had to work remotely whilst there. To enter the property there is an electronic gate and gravel drive which all felt grand. We spent a week here and Claire was available to help with any queries but otherwise left us to do our own thing. I can honestly say that we would go back tomorrow if we could, great location for exploring the area, close to Bantry for shops, petrol etc. You will not be disappointed

  It is quiet and beautiful to just relax at the cottage but there is loads to see nearby and Bantry is a decent town. Beautiful beaches, cafes and restaurants are plentiful.

• "We had a lovely week at Rock Lawn Cottage in August 2020."

  This place was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. It is situated in a lovely quiet location, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could need for a week away with the kids. If you want to eat in, there is a good choice of supermarkets, bakery's within the town. But there are plenty of good restaurants and takeaways to choose from too. We were blessed with amazing weather, however there is lots to do even if the weather is good or bad. Bantry is perfectly situated for exploring further on down the peninsula's with Barley cove, Mizen head, ring of Kerry and Dingle approximatly 1-1.5 hours drive either way. The drive passes by so quickly as there is so much beautiful scenery to take in. There is lots of areas to explore, national parks, pony trekking, kayaking and boat trips to name a few. Even with Covid restrictions, there was still plenty of safe places to go. We would definitely come back here again.

• "We were most impressed by the commitment to our comfort and enjoyment at Sykes Cottage."

  The cottage was bigger than we expected, spotlessly clean, with very comfortable furniture, beds, bedlinen. Everything they could think of for us was included and there was such a warm welcome. We appreciated the pack with details of local areas of interest for visits, hikes, meals and information on local doctors, dentists etc should the need arise. We have rented holiday homes both in Ireland and abroad for many years and this was the best experience we have had to date. Guests know when their hosts have their best interests at heart and when this is sensed, it adds to the enjoyment of the stay. Having the proprietor on site was great. We had a friendly neighbour, who did not intrude on our privacy, but was eager to help us with directions and local information whenever needed. Honestly couldn't recommend this cottage/ spacious house more! We will definitely be back.
