Charming cottage with a charming owner. Beth could not have been more helpful with suggestions for trips and where to eat. Lisin na Cre is situated within the most peaceful and quiet surroundings; within easy reach of the most wonderful hill walks. A fifteen minute drive and you are facing the Atlantic lapping the cleanest beaches imaginable. Thoroughly recommended

County Cork, Ireland is full of lush green hills, crumbling castles, rugged granite mountains, fine Georgian architecture and sleepy fishing villages, all surrounded by the brooding waters of the Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Full of mystery, myths and legends. There's no better place to position yourself for exploring the above than in the cottage at Roaring Water Bay, with the excellent host 'Beth'. We need to return purely to enjoy the book collection! It's dreamy and we found it extremely hard to leave this rural idyll.

It was a joy to discover (without exactly knowing what we were going to face) the secret hideaway 'Lisin na Cre'. The Cottage transpires a vibe of calmness, peace and harmony,a home rather than a house, not one of those only to be rented. The places to go were as good as anywhere else with that exotic touch, far, occulted, nostalgic, happy, the Ireland we love. We left longing for more and we will return in summer time. Beth's a host who gives everything, her smile exudes warmth and her clever use of colours in the rooms reflect this.

We – a fiftyish couple - found Roaring Water Bay Cottage very suitable for relaxing in a tranquil garden and as a base for discovering Ireland‘s beautiful South West. The cottage is nicely decorated and Beth is a most charming neighbour. We were not too impressed by Ballydehob, but found many other attractions within easy reach. It has been a great pleasure to visit and stay.
