“Beautiful retreat away from all the ...”

Beautiful retreat away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life. Great location out in the middle of nowhere. The house is wonderfully refurbished with the original walls creating a real cosy setting. Would definitely recommend here for a quite get away.

Thanks to Carmen our host for being so nice and welcoming.

“The owners were extremely helpful, ...”

The owners were extremely helpful, welcoming, and friendly. There was plenty of information about what you could do and see in the area which would be very useful if you were new to the area. The cottage itself was perfect. Coming back to it after a day out was just like coming home; warm, cosy, all the necessary mod cons and much better than a hotel or B&B because you could just 'flop' after a really nice hot shower! The perfect 'get away from it all' place to be. The information given about the cottage was spot on and there were no hidden surprises. Well done Sykes, I will definitely use you again.

“New Year's in the Irish Countryside”

Our family enjoyed our stay in this snug little cottage. The weather wasn't perfect but we managed day trips to the Dingle and Barra peninsulas as well as a visit to kiss the Blarney Stone!

“A Fabulous Place to Start & End My Day”

I stayed for 2 fabulous weeks. Wrapped in warmth and comfort. It was quiet charming, updated, & even though the owners are right there, they are a fabulous family, I felt completely free. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed.

“A super cosy cottage in a wonderfully scenic area.”

An Lochta Fada, provided our family with a lovely getaway in a cosy, pet friendly environment. The rooms are a great size and the cottage is totally equiped with all the mod cons and provides a relaxed atmosphere to kick back after a busy day sight-seeing. We loved our stay and the owner even surpassed herself by jump starting our car when it was time for us to leave! Great place, great value and great times! Thanks

“Very Bueautiful and Cosy Place”

Great place - old from the outside - modern, but still charming from the inside. Detached cottage - indeed. However - great place to be!
