The Cottage set in the grounds of Rock Cottage Country House, is a charming rustic, Irish Cottage with all modern conveniences on the inside, whilst preserving its historic character on the outside.

My husband and I are just back from a lovely holiday at Rock Cottage. The location is excellent, quiet, beautiful surroundings and ideally situated for exploring west Cork. The cottage was spotless, very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The owners Jackie and Jonathan were extremely welcoming and provided lots of good advice about the surrounding area. We had our two dogs with us. It’s hard to find pet friendly accommodation that is really pet friendly as well as comfortable for the adults. Would definitely love to stay again. Highly recommend Rock Cottage.

A wonderful beautiful place, and wonderful hosts!!
I've stayed with Jackie and Jonathon (and dogs Elsa and Saffron) in their wonderful cozy and comfortable "Rock Cottage" before, and my planning for another trip to West Cork was predicated on finding an available period to stay with them once again in the cottage.
I’ve worked and stayed in 69 countries and 50 US states besides Ireland, and I always come back to County Kerry and County Cork for the beauty, tranquility, and wonderful people as exemplified by Jackie and Jonathon.
The property is a completely and lovingly refurbished 1826 Georgian hunting lodge where the former courtyard garden stone outbuildings have been preserved on the outside but very well updated on the inside with a full modern kitchen not a galley kitchen, large modern bathroom with lots of hot water, and cozy and comfortable living spaces. Recycling is well setup and encouraged, and there is even an electrical charging facility for EV cars.
The extensive grounds are flower filled and immaculate with horses, donkeys, chickens and geese (and the occasional neighborhood sheep eating Jackie’s flowers). I loved spoiling the donkey and the horses with fresh carrots in the mornings.
Driving up the long country lane driveway you feel yourself relaxing, and then the blond sisters Elsa and Saffron come running up to greet you and get some love and scratches, and then Jackie comes strolling over with a huge smile and greeting, and cookies, flowers and fresh eggs.
You will not go wrong staying with my friends!!

Great Irish Getaway
The property is as beautiful as the pictures. Everything was clean, tidy, and ready for our stay. Jackie & Jonathan are very friendly, helpful, and attentive hosts. With the main house, just across the lawn and car park, they were always available when needed. We had a wonderful stay and would like to return, because it was such a positive experience!

Our summer vacation in Rock Cottage
Our second time in Rock Cottage, it was again a great place to stay because of the beauty of the cottage and surroundings, the friendly owner and neighbors and the many activities offered in the region. I hope there will be a third occasion :-)

A rare find and secret gem
It is rare to come across a place so perfect. Jackie and Jonathan go above and beyond with anything you need, and have created a little piece of heaven in Ireland. The house has everything you need, and is spotlessly clean and tidy. Outside is equally charming from the vegetable garden and fresh eggs from the resident chickens and ducks, to feeding the donkeys, and having friendly and loving dogs and cats roaming the property, and joining for walks. If you are planning a trip to the Atlantic Way/a break in the beautiful west coast, you would be lucky to stay here. There are some many beautiful places to see, places to eat and lots to do - that Jackie and Jonathan will recommend. I have travelled all over the world, and Rock Cottage will be one of the treasured places to always remember and return to.
