Lovely cottage - quite remote
This is a lovely cottage and the hosts are very responsive and helpful. It is probably best suited for a warmer season fishing trip than a cold weather stay on the coast.The view from the cottage is gorgeous and the back yard is wonderful.

A beautiful cottage in an idyllic location.
What a beautiful place to say. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and is equipped with everything you need. Breda was so welcoming and always on hand to help and answer any questions we had throughout our stay. Waking up in the morning to the view across the bay was a real treat every day. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely cottage for a second time!

Beautiful cottage with amazing views - a gorgeous place to be!
The cottage was absolutely beautiful-we arrived at night in the dark so had to wait until the morning and it was so worth it. The view from the back of the house was spectacular and being able to sit out in the evening with the sun shining through the back door felt like heaven. Tragumna is a lovely place - the locals were very friendly and welcoming and very happy to chat! The owners were extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries before we arrived and then the lovely Breda ensured we had everything we needed while we were there! A lovely trip and such a beautiful house! Thank you!

Sea view and storm-proof
A proper Atlantic gale about two days in. Wind whistling around the house, and rain lashing the windows. The good news: the roof stayed where it was supposed to, and none of the windows or doors blew in. The rest of the week was very pleasant. Not sunbathing weather exactly, but plenty of sun nonetheless. The house was as it appears, small but very comfortable, with a lovely sea view. Good wardrobe space in the two bedrooms (one upstairs, one down), and a small but well-equipped kitchen area in the living room. Lovely sea views, and this being west Cork, a long list of lovely places to visit. Lough Hyne for example, Ballydehob and Schull (a pint in Hackett’s), Mizen Head and Baltimore (ditto for Bushe’s), and more lovely walks than you will ever have time for. One negative (for me at least), no internet connection, which is a drag if you have to keep in touch with work (I know, but not everybody can totally switch off), or with family. Still, the local bar, the Skibbereen Eagle, is only a few paces away, and they’re connected, so all is not lost.

The property was just as we expected. With stunning views overlooking tragumna Bay. Easy to get to skibbereen for shops and reasonably good position to go to baltimore mizzen head schull. We had a wonderful time. However the only thing I would not take very small children as stairs quite daunting . Overall we would definitely go back splendid

We very much enjoyed our stay with beautiful views on the doorstep. It was certainly a good base for our walks through the lovely scenery and to relax in afterwards. The cottage would benefit from oven mitts and microwave, otherwise a lovely place to enjoy a break away.

The house is fabulous and spotlessly clean. They have everything you need there! We couldn't stop looking out the windows, so scenic, peaceful and tranquil. Special thanks to Siobhan and Breda on the other end of the phone when we had any queries, so quick to respond. We will be back😍

Ideal location, stunning views. Everything within walking or cycling distance. Variety of plants and wildlife. Heavenly cottage, personalized decorations. We felt very much at home with books and guides to facilitate our exploration of the area. Irish locals very welcoming. No other foreigners. Total bliss.
