The Experience

Drop south over the mountain, turn right towards the sea, lose yourself in tiny lanes, then find heaven. You’re cast adrift in the lush folds of west Cork, as lovely a spot as you will find anywhere in the world. As for this gorgeous cottage, well, Beth’s impeccable style has covered the whole place with something beautiful and if you abhor the bland and predictable and yearn instead for old-fashioned splendour, then your dreams will come true here. Outside, wild daisies and climbing roses hog the limelight; inside, a treasure trove of beautiful things waits to be discovered. The sprawling art is utterly irreproachable, there are books by the hundred, home-grown flowers, a rocking chair in front of a peat fire in the cosy sitting room. Nothing is ordinary, viz. the shoe trees nailed to the panelled wall by the claw-foot bath on which to hang your towel. Elsewhere, a gilt mirror above the big bed, lovely rugs on shiny wood floors and a super kitchen that will fulfil every need. Doors open onto a path that leads down to a wild flower meadow. A perfect place to escape the world.

Reviews

Olivia, London

Absolutely wonderful stay! Beth is a lovely, lovely host who went out of her way to make us welcome and comfortable. The cottage is gorgeous and beautifully decorated and the gardens are a delight to explore. A haven of peace and tranquility which we and our 13 month old son adored! Thank you Beth!


Julie

What a delight to arrive at Lisin na Cre and find a low, pink cottage smothered in roses and full of books and paintings. From here we explored the quiet lanes of the Mizen, Sheep's Head and Beare peninsulas where the coastal landscape is dotted with the ruins of towers houses, castles and megalithic monuments. Our charming host Beth was always happy to recommend walks and restaurants and it was such a pleasure to share the occasional glass of wine with her outside what is without doubt the nicest cottage we have ever rented over many years of self catering - we hope to return soon.


John

It was a privilege to stay at Lisin Na Cre. This lovely cottage is full of character (and books), well appointed and comfortable. The quiet, rural location is ideal for exploring the beautiful coast and countryside of south west Ireland and the helpful suggestions and recommendations about walks, restaurants and shops from the charming hostess, Beth, were invaluable. We would like to think that we'll return with more of the family - young children will love the orchard and garden.


Kathy

Myself and my hubby along with our 2 little boys (3 & 1) had an absolutely wonderful time at this pretty cottage. The interiors are adorable, vintage furniture and beautiful artwork. Beth is an unbelievably attentive host who made our stay even more enjoyable. Our boys adored the gardens, playing on swings and in the treehouse. It's just the most perfect, relaxing setting and so close to lots of great activities and sights. Rain or shine our whole family loved every minute! This was our second visit and we'd go back in a heartbeat. We only wish we could have stayed longer!


Daniel

An idyllic, peaceful spot nestled in the hills but perfect for visiting all the amazing coastline around. Beth provdes an amazingly warm welcome as well as local information and tips, and a beautiful house and garden to enjoy. Thank you for sharing it with us!
