Peaceful Recharging Stay
The property was very spacious and very clean with everything we needed. It was perfect for us. Noreen was helpful when asked questions but also gave us 100% privacy. Description was very accurate and no complaints at all. If you are looking for peace, nature and spaciousness this is the place for you. Brandy the dog’s daily visits were also sweet as she is a very well behaved dog.

After a long drive from Shannon Airport, we opened the door to Seashell Cottage and immediately felt like we were home. The scenic surroundings offered us peaceful mornings to lounge over coffee and enjoy the stunning view, and the perfect base to venture out to explore the Skellig Coast — which we have fallen in love with. Our stay was idyllic, and the short trips to Waterville or Cahersiveen to pick up necessities were delightful. Seashell Cottage is very comfortable, the pantry had many essentials, and our host, Noreen, made sure we were well taken care of. Our stay was an absolute dream, and we hope to return again and again.

Our few days of relaxation.
Sea Shell Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. The house is so spacious and the view is unbelievable. It's got all you need for a lovely stay. The walks, scenery, beach, donkeys and ever changing weather, made our time there just so lovely. Not forgetting the daily visits from Brandy, the dog. My husband and I stayed there with two of our friends, they thoroughly enjoyed it too. We would all go back again in a flash! The host was available if we needed anything, just a text away.

Amazing views of the ocean and landscape. You will forget about work and truly reconnect to all that matters in this lifetime. The night sky is brilliant and looks like an ocean of diamonds. Beach walks are invigorating and the ever changing sky delivers the most stunning photo opportunities. You’ll never want to return home.

What a beautiful view to wake up to each morning. Great location for getting away from it all. Very spacious property. Noreen was fantastic. Weather was surprisingly good for the time of year! Loved the visits from Brandy, their red setter, as we were missing our own dog. Very few of the restaurants in Waterville were open as the season hadn't really started yet, but we always managed to get a good meal - Thank you "Butlers Arms"!
