Nellie's Farmhouse

Super cottage is lovely countryside with everything that you could possibly need.

Maison agréable et conforme à l'annonce.

Nous avons passé une semaine des plus charmante dans ce coin d'Irlande. Je recommande cette maison

The property was beautiful clean and very ideal for us.

Windows everywhere to see the breath taking views, this is a 5* property. Host is extremely friendly and kind, we are already arranging our return. Perfect base to explore Cork, this has definitely been our favourite family holiday. Thank you.

A wonderful little cottage in south Cork.

Great view, easy access to the road and surrounding area. Our visit was peaceful, beautiful and comfortable!

Lovely property, well equipped and beautiful setting.

We had a great stay, thank you x

We are an older couple and very much enjoyed our stay in Nellies Cottage.

The property is exactly as pictured, beautifully maintained. Everything you could possibly need is provided, including fuel for the stove which was most welcome in this chilly summer. The interior was spotless and decorated to a good standard. I would highly recommend this lovely place for a holiday.

Exactly what we wanted and what a delight to meet Annie and hear about her childhood in this beautiful place.

Nellie's Farmhouse was a beautiful property in an idyllic location, perfectly placed for relaxing and enjoying the panoramic views on the doorstep and for exploring everything the local area has to offer.

Everything I had ever heard or read about West Cork is true, it really is a magical place. The cottage was spacious and bright, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. The outside area and garden were also well kept with garden furniture for enjoying the outdoors. Anna, the housekeeper, was a treasure. Anna is so friendly, really easy to talk to when making arrangements for arrival and departure and, although we didn't need anything else during our stay, I am sure that nothing would have been too much trouble. This property thoroughly deserves a 5-star rating, we loved it!!

We enjoyed our stay so much.

The house is beautiful and so comfortable and welcoming. It had all the appliances and facilities we needed and more! The views were amazing and only a short drive to scenic areas! Anna was so lovely and welcoming! We hope to stay there again in the near future and would recommend to others!

Very Nice cottage.

Confortable et agréable à séjourner avec une vue magnifique. Idéal pour se reposer. Anna est très gentille et très serviable L’électricité en supplément est juste un peu chère, il faut prévoir. Je recommande vivement

We had a lovely time at Nellies Farmhouse!

Highly recommend for a cozy Ireland getaway.

The property was really really in all respects; cleanliness, location, comfort, .

Home from home.

Lovely cosy cottage set within beautiful views.

Well equipped and cared for. Lovely location and wood burner made a couple of chilly nights even cosier .

We had a wonderful stay at Nellies.

The views from the farmhouse are incredible. It’s on the road from Durrus and 10-15 drive to Bantry, so you have everything you need on your doorstep. The log burner was well stocked and a treat and the kitchen has everything you need. Three well sized rooms it comfortably fits four people. WiFi was great too, as we had iPad dependant kids! We would love to come back!

House was excellent and ideal location rooms spacious everything you need was in the house

Nellie's Farmhouse is in a fantastic location for touring the all the peninsula's.

The property is in very good condition with everything you could need, it is kept very clean. Staying here was a very relaxing experience with beautiful countryside and friendly neighbours. Thank you Anna.

Very convenient clean tidy and beautiful views with all the amenities we need We enjoy our stay thank you and will book with Sykes in future again

This is a lovely farmhouse/ cottage.

Brilliant location for traveling around the wonderful countryside. The farmhouse meet all our needs - very comfortable Anna was really nice

Overall this property is as described.

It’s a great base for discovering West Cork and beyond with many popular destinations and amenities within a short driving distance. The house has everything you need so no need to pack the kitchen sink with you. Double bed is on wheels and of all the beds, the least comfortable. The upper bunk bed is not suitable for infants. TV only has basic channels and a smart TV would be a winner so guests can log into their own Netflix/Disney etc. Beware, bathroom doors can lock, needing a screw driver to open them from the outside (US locks) finally, you will get hit with the electricity bill on Saturday morning. Go easy on the dryer usage and the emersion switch.

Thank you for a wonderful stay, we were so comfortable with everything made easy and convenient.

The house is extremely well maintained and super clean. The house is so well situated for visiting all our favourite places in West Cork and within easy reach of Banty too. This all made for a very relaxing holiday. Diolch o galon Anna xxx

A wonderful farmhouse in a beautiful setting.

Everything was very straight forward - booking, collecting the keys, contacting the owner. The house had everything we needed, very well equipped and clean. The only negative was the beds - we had our little one in his cot next to the main bed - every slight movement and I mean slight, the bed frame would creak so loudly it would stir him everytime. Plus the mattress wasn't very comfy either - you ended up rolling into the middle. The bedding itself was so cosy, just a shame about the mattress / bedframe.

Everything was perfect.

Everything you need was there and it was spotless.

Attention to detail was excellent….

Beach towels… well equipped kitchen, including dishwasher tablets bin bags etc. …. Good bin/compost arrangements

Just want to say what an enjoyable holiday we had staying at Nellies farmhouse, Myself, husband, 12 year old boy and my parents .

. location was excellent and Anna was the perfect hostess , house was spotless and had every thing in it that you needed, spacious bedrooms and comfy beds ideal for a relaxing holiday , places to visit Glengarriff, Bantry , Kenmare, Skiberreen with a must trip to visit Michael Collins house also the famine experience in Skiberreen and a must for the kids a trip to Barley Cove beach and Smugglers Cove to do Tubing for kids. Will definitely recommend Anna and Nellies Farmhouse and will hope to return again , Regards The Hughes & McMullans, Co Antrim & Co Dublin

Beautiful cottage, clean, great facilities, great location.

Very friendly host Anna. Would highly recommend.

Wood fire.

Lovely location and very helpful owner

I had a great time (despite storm Ciara) Anna our host was very friendly, helpful & accommodating.

Have already recommended to friends & family.

Anna was so helpful, she told us how to get to some wonderful places we wouldn’t have otherwise known about!

Cottage was immaculate and very cosy!!! It was perfect for our family

Superb holiday in every respect.

Nellies Farmhouse is very clean, spacious, well furnished and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. Kitchen equipment was in immaculate condition which is always a bonus. The location is in a beautiful area with very little sound to be heard other than the birds! The cottage owner, Anna, was very warm and welcoming and lives fairly close by. We couldn't fault this accommodation and enjoyed returning to it at the end of the day. The area is stunningly beautiful and as cyclists we were able to enjoy it to the full. Our trip was perfect in every way - we even had good weather! Thank you Anna.

A nice house with great scenery in a beautiful area.

A friendly and warm welcome by the letter.

Fantastic location for swimming walking cycling and running.

The property is really well laid out and equipped and decorated to a very high standard.

Lovely property, very well appointed with lots of local information.

Great welcome. Thank you

Nellies cottage has been an amazing place to stay.

Everything has been just marvelous. From walking the lanes until 11:30pm in wonderful twilight to the decor and finish of the house. The owner has to be complemented on the quality of the house, decor and finish. Plus all of the little touches. WIFI reception was great. Anna was a true host and was lovely to work with. Her directions were spot on. Ask her for instructions on how to use the oven. Apart from a little bit of traffic, the only sound you could here was sheep and cows. The patio furniture was simply a brilliant idea combined with super weather we used it for nearly every meal. While here, you must see Bantry the town (with a great market on Fridays) and Bantry House gardens. You must see the following: “Garnish” island and grounds. 10 out of 10. Drombeg Stone Circles. 4 out of 10. The Long Strand at Owenahincha 8 out of 10. For a remote walk down a wonderful beach. Inchydoney Beach 10 out of 10. Drive to Barley Beach 8-10. Clonakilty Town 9 out of 10. Cute town great little spot. Castlefreke and woodland area 6 of 10. Sheep’s Head Walk and turning point (Scenic drive 9 out of 10). Excellent evening’s walk at the end of the drive. Also try the Ewe Experience in Glengarrif. 10 out of 10. Very cool little spot. While in Glengarrif you also should visit the Woods Nature Reserve, climb up to the scenic view and also walk the meadow trail. 8 out of 10. A really nice walking trail with lovely views. Visit Kenmare for a lovely afternoon filled with lovely shops and eateries. We didn’t have enough time to visit Killarney National Park on this visit another time.

Nellie's Farmhouse is very comfortable with everything provided you could need.

It's warm and cosy with central heating and a log fire if you need it. Having 2 showers and 2 toilets was a lovely extra with 3 of us there for a week. Quiet and peaceful with no neighbours - just sheep and cows. It's a good centre for visiting the south west Atlantic coast and easy to get to from London Stansted, flying to Cork Airport and hiring a car. Anna is nearby to meet and greet and answer any questions and is a great character with her stories. We had a great holiday.

We loved talking to the housekeeper, Anna, who told us that Nellies Farmhouse used to be her family home but has since been extensively modernised.

We found Anna to be very helpful - she visited soon after we had arrived to tell us how the heating etc worked. Once one gets used to the howling gales and pouring rain that afflict the area from time to time, we found the cottage to be very comfortable and very liveable in. However, when the sun comes out, the area is beautiful and there are lovely views from the cottage of the surrounding hills and the nearby bay. (We were staying in April not usually known for its heatwaves!!) We would definitely stay there again if re-visiting the area.

Every attention to detail both while booking and at the property.

Very enjoyable holiday. Would definitely recommend Sykes cottages especially 'nellies farmhouse ' .

Great house, great location, very quiet, wonderful outlook.

All our needs were catered for. Housekeeper on hand if there were any problems or questions.

Nellie's farmhouse is a lovely place to be.

It's 30 min driving away from Mizen Head, Baltimore, Glengarriff, Bantry and Skibbereen. The comfort in the house is top so a day relaxing there is also a good idea. We loved our stay there!

Nellie's farm house has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard .

Anna who looks after the property is very helpful & works hard to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay .
