Reviews
This was our second stay at Ocean View. Again we found the property to be excellent for our needs, and the owner is very helpful & hospitable. We had a great stay & we would recommend it to others in similar circumstances.
Ocean View was a very comfortable and well-equipped cottage with a very kind and helpful owner.
This was our second time staying at Ocean View. It was very good and comfortable. The owner was very welcoming, way beyond anyone's expectations. A lovely friendly host, and always there if you needed her.
Loved the accommodation, spotlessly clean and the hostess was so nice and welcoming. I would definitely visit again. The location in West Cork is second to none.

We were very late arriving from Rosslare to Skibbereen. It being very dark we phoned the owner for directions. She did more than this, she came to Skibbereen and guided us the 8 kilometres to our cottage. The following day she helped us to find our way to and from the main road to our cottage. She allowed us to take our two large dogs, off the lead, around her beautiful gardens. The property was at all times warm, comfortable and cosy. Our landlady was always helpful when we needed information
It was comfortable, the owner was very pleasant and helpful. We would certainly go again to this property.
The cottage was much better than we expected - the photograph of it doesn't do it justice. Everything you could need was supplied. The proprietor was very nice and friendly, and although she lives beside the cottage, was unobtrusive. The location was perfect - out in the country. And although a few miles from the nearest town, it is quite central in the South West, so within a reasonable distance to all the tourist areas in either direction. The cottage is also at the end of a lane, has a large garden (well kept) and yard, and so is safe for children and dogs. It is also an ideal spot for leisure cycling as the wee country roads are definitely not busy. We really had a great time at Ocean View.
