You’ll take a lot of photos in Ireland but photos are 2 dimensional and cannot capture the beauty and grandeur of the country. Similarly the pictures of Grainne’s 14 Baltimore Holiday Homes were nice but come no where near capturing the beauty of views from the house and the house itself. The house was very well appointed – having just about everything you could want. It has been recently and tastefully remodeled and is in excellent condition. Baltimore itself was the right choice for us – at the sea shore, active harbor, good restaurants (esp. the fabulous food and service at Casey’s, but, if you are from another country, use cash, they exchange to the foreign funds before exchanging, after tacking on an extra 5% - 1.22 to USD instead of 1.17 others charged; only hiccup we had with exchange), the walk to the point and lighthouse at the harbor entrance is beautiful, and you must visit the Baltimore Castle for the history of the town and region. There is a convenient food mart in downtown Baltimore which has the essentials, but the Super Value in Skibberreen has great, variety, choices and value – be sure to try the locally produced Glenilen yogurt – it is low in sugar and all natural, and still rich tasting. Last and maybe equally important, be sure to go to the Farmer’s Market in Skibberreen (park your auto at Aldi) on Saturday until 2 PM. Grainne’s mother, Eithne, has a stand out of the back of her car and her homemade breads, cakes (she had 3 kinds), quiches, pickles, etc. fly off the table – they are delicious - go early. Eithne and one of her other daughters who works with her are charming and a positive delight – you’ll love them and their wares. Across from her stand is Gubbeen Farms meats and cheeses – famous in the area – we got cheese and bacon – Delish! – they are also in the stores, but its fun buying it at the market. You will likely pick up the key from another of Grainne’s sisters who is the chef at Riverside in Skibberreen – take the time to dine there – the service is personal, the food outstanding and if the weather permits you can sit outside by the river. We stayed here 10 days could easily have stayed longer and hope to return. 5 stars!

Stayed here with my wife and two kids (3 and 20 months) the first week of July 2017. The house was perfect for us, at the end of the development with fantastic sea views. It was nice and quiet and had everything we needed. We lit the log burning stove on a wet evening which was great. The house is a short walk from caseys hotel and the glebe garden restaurant, and also the village. Baltimore is a good base from which to explore west cork.

Lovely place, great views. Ideal summer house. Great location in Baltimore.

The cottage was beautifully presented and very comfortable. Grainne was a superb host and provided us with loads of useful information. Brown bread and scones greeted us on our arrival which was a lovely touch. Baltimore is a lovely vibrant town and a great base from which to explore the region. A visit to silver strand on Sherkin is a must. We will return. Adrienne, Stephen and Tom Mc Donough July 2017

We absolutely loved this house and were so sad to leave it at the end of a fantastic week's holiday in Baltimore. It is decorated beautifully and is very clean and well equipped. It is a short walk into town and Glebe cafe and gardens which is just a five minute walk away is well worth a visit. What makes this house completely stand out however is the view - it is just glorious. I would highly recommend it for families with small children. Gràinne the host could not have been more helpful - she sent us a list of things to do/places to eat in the locality and also left us some beautiful bread and scones. A first class property. We will definitely be back.

Kathleen was great. Welcomed us warmly with tea and scones. She had a lovely peat fire warming the living room. Together with her neighbor, we watched a crucially important rugby game which Ireland won. Yeah!!!! Delicious breakfast and jams to send us off on our next day of adventure. Debbie & Perry

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful choice! You will not find a warmer welcome in the whole of Ireland, than the one we received from Kathleen. She greeted us with fresh home baked scones and local salmon paté, with a lovely pot of tea which we all shared around the kitchen table. Beautiful ensuite room in an immaculate house in relaxing Baltimore. We were honestly treated like family...breakfast was delicious and Kathleen also made us a packed lunch for our whale watching trip. If you want to experience genuine Irish hospitality, you will definitely find it here.

Kathleen is an excellent host and we were delighted with this accomodation. The bedroom and bathroom was lovely and breakfast was a real treat. We really appreciated Kathleen's hospitality. Highly recommend to stay if planning on staying in Baltimore or wishing to go out to nearby islands of Cape clear and sherkin.

We had an excellent stay at Kathleen's place in Baltimore. Within walking distance from the village and a couple great restaurants. The place was very clean and warm and Kathleen made an excellent breakfast for us in the morning. She's a great host and knows the area very well and was very helpful for our cycling and hiking tour.

Kathleen est la gentillesse même ! Et fait le maximum pour rendre votre séjour plus qu'agréable. Grace à elle, nous avons découvert un peu plus de l'Irlande, de son histoire, et confirmé le grand sens de l'hospitalité de ses habitants. Qui plus est, Kathleen est une excellente cuisinière qui nous a préparé de délicieux breakfasts, frais et généreux. La chambre est très confortable, et reposante. Une adresse à recommander pour découvrir le charmant port de Baltimore et ses environs.

Kathleen's house was beautiful and very close to Baltimore's town centre (5 minute walk). The house was clean and check in was easy. Kathleen was a great host and made us a beautiful breakfast and was very friendly. She gave us some great suggestions on what to see and do on our way out of town, and we would absolutely stay with her if we go back down to Baltimore in the future!

Absolutely wonderful stay in a beautifully appointed house. Kathleen made us feel very welcome in true blue West Cork style. I cannot recommend Kathleen and her beautiful home highly enough.

I had a fantastic stay in Kathleen's lovely house in Baltimore. Kathleen and John were so welcoming and hospitable!

We'd a fantastic stay in this house! Views incredible - you could sit there all day and be contented. House was so clean and the kitchen has everything you need, the coffee machine was a bonus! The host Simon was so accommodating and helpful as we were travelling with an 8 month old. It's so near the village and which has everything you need. Highly recommend

Great house in a beautiful spot!

Had a wonderful stay, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely home in a beautiful coastal setting, great for exploring the coastal areas. Superb restaurants within a short walk.

Simon was great to work with on the booking and during out stay when we had a small issue with the showers - he replied to my call immediately.

Susan made me feel at home right from the start. She is very welcoming, easy going, generous, supportive, friendly and caring. We had very nice chats sharing thoughts and stories while drinking tea together. It was great to be allowed to use Susan's kitchen and her living room. That's such a big benefit for a relaxed stay. The room upstairs was spacious, very comfortable, clean and bright. Susan gave me a lot of suggestions for my activities in and around Baltimore. It was a pleasant to stay with Susan - i'd love to come back again!

Susan was a lovely, warm and welcoming Irish woman and very accommodating. I felt quite relaxed in her home. I had a very busy program with the O'Driscoll Clan gathering in Baltimore and when I needed down time she respected that. There was a nice big kitchen to cook in if you needed to, which I did on occasion. As I was on foot in Baltimore, when it rained hard one night she drove me to where I had to go way up the hill....I thought that was very kind.

Susan is very kind and helpful, her house very cosy. Easy to feel at home abroad!

Susan ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die sich sehr um ihre Gäste bemüht! Das Zimmer ist schön eingerichtet und die Lage, fünf Gehminuten vom Hafen entfernt, lässt nichts zu Wünschen übrig.

Great communication. Lovely host. Had a nice chat with Susan while having breakfast. Room was basic but it had all you need. House is just 6min walk to the village square. Strongly recommended.

if its peace you want in a beautiful part of the world then this is for you . It also has the benefit of meeting Susan !

Susan war eine wunderbare Gastgeberin, immer ein Laecheln auf den Lippen und sehr bemueht, mir einen angenehmen Aufenthalt zu bereiten. Ihr Haus ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und hell, man kann sich nur wohlfuehlen! In Baltimore, einem herzigen kleinen Dorf empfehle ich einen Spaziergang zum Beacon bei Sonnenuntergang, es ist wunderschoen! Ich habe meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen und haette es nicht besser treffen koennen.

Perfect

We had a fantastic stay at Channel View cottage. The house was immaculate and spacious, with everything we could of wanted, and Margaret a responsive welcoming host. The cottage is located about 1km from Baltimore which is truly stunning. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage for any stay - we just wish we had stayed longer.

This is a great place to stay. We would recommend very highly. Margaret is a great host, great location, easy walk to town and well equipped. Lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated. Many thanks Margaret.

We could not recommend Margaret's house more! It is absolutely lovely, exactly as described, spotless, warm, well stocked and beautifully decorated. It is a little walk outside of Baltimore village but only about 10 minutes and Casey's Hotel/Bar/Restaurant and The Glebe Cafe are only across the road. We often visit Baltimore and will be hoping to stay here as often as possible as we throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Margaret!

Freshly painted comfortable cosy well decorated & equipped house. Delighted to have cafetière, milk, scones & butter for that first am. Big garden & 3 outside tables to enjoy breakfast in the sun & beautiful sunset over the water. Very convenient to Baltimore & the islands.

Stayed with my 12 year old and 14 year old and had a great time. Channel view was perfect, great location, only a short walk from Baltimore Bay and only newly refurbished. Margaret was the perfect host, there was a lovely welcome pack for us on arrival of fresh scones, Brown bread, jams and other essentials. We were left to our own devices but Margaret was always available for advice on where to go things to do etc. Lives only a minute away. I would highly recommend channel view.

Beautiful house and we were welcomed on day 1 warmly by Margaret, who provided a tour of the house which was great. She had the cot and high chair ready for our little one. This house was renovated with a lot of love and it is beautiful. Great location with views of the Baltimore channel. We used the stove which they'd provided wood and coal for. What a cozy house. We will hopefully get to stay here again. Thank you.

We stayed in Chanel view cottage for a week in July 2017. Family of 5 with 3 small children. The house was perfect and has lovely gardens and patio and an amazing view. It was excellently maintained, recently refurbished and super clean. It is easily the cleanest holiday rental we have stayed at. The bedrooms are all very good sized and the wifi was good and capable of streaming Netflix. The house was fully setup for kitchen wares, and Margaret even provided some fresh bread, butter, jam and milk on arrival which was a lovely touch. Everything was perfect with the house so we didn't need to contact Margaret at all during our stay. Baltimore has a great vibe and with good weather the square is a great place to hang out eat and be merry. The house is a little outside of Baltimore, so a car is required if you have small children. Adults should find the walk easy going. Baltimore is. Great place to tour around West Cork and the week was easily filled with things to do. If we are to come back to Baltimore it will be to channel view!

We stayed at Channel View for 3 nights in September. The house was as described with gated entrance. Well furnished and plenty of facilities. Margaret helpfully provided a starter pack of breakfast items. The house is about 15mins walk to the harbour (bring a torch for night time walking as the last narrow stretch is unlit). We had a great time and recommend the place.

Rianne was a wonderful host. She couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Staying here you get far more than just a room. Rianne has an excellent knowledge of local activities and eating places that made our stay much more enjoyable that it might have been. Every day Rianne baked fresh bread and cakes and provided us with a wonderful choice of foods for breakfast. Rianne really does go the extra mile to meet your personal needs and make your stay a memorable one. The room was fresh and bright and the B&B was just a few minutes walk from the harbour where all the boat trips depart and the start of Baltimores walking trails. We have no hesitation in fully recommending this to other people.

My two sisters and I stayed with Rianne while we were in Baltimore for a family reunion. She was so welcoming and helpful the entire time! She helped us with directions and sugggestion, weather and maps! A lovely lady! The postioning of the b&b was ideal for walks into Baltimore but also moving by car to nearby locations! Comfortable and thoughtfull rooms. But most of all the supe mega fantastic breakfast that kept us going all day!! Homemade jams and dreamy lemon curd, porridge, mini pancakes, poached eggs and wild salmon and soya and almond milk for EV's allergies! Banana bread in our room was perfect for picnicking! Over all a fantastic stay! Highly recommended for a very well priced accomodating stay with extras!

We had a lovely weekend staying at Stone Lodge while attending the 2016 Baltimore Fiddle Festival. The house is charming, just a couple of minutes walk from Baltimore harbour and I'd be hard pushed to think of a more welcoming host than Rianne. She baked gluten free bread and cakes every day for my brother who doesn't eat gluten and was just generally amazing. Highly recommend! Pete

What a superb location in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. Rianne was also as good as a host gets, welcoming and informative with some great recipes too. Only a short walk to the harbour and always a cake awaiting you on your return from a day visiting, I couldn't have had a better place to stay. If West Cork is on your radar this surely is a place you have to seriously consider. I would happily recommend it to anyone and would love to return. Thank you Rianne!

Baltimore is one awesome place to stay!! We really loved that the room was private and quiet. I almost forgot I was even in an airbnb, it was like we had our own hotel room! Accept that in the morning they left us scones n brown bread by the door, so good!! We had an amazing dinner at the restaurant as well, the night before. Not kidding you, we had the best mussels I have ever had in my entire life! Ugh! The crab too! If ur gna stay here get the seafood, ahhhmazing! And you definitely have to see the Baltimore Beacon at sunrise, it really is something magical :)

Very nice place to stay. Enough room, two separate rooms, quiet and very good hosting.

A most enjoyable stay, wonderful room with a stunning view. 10/10 looking forward to our next trip!

Baltimore Townhouse is a really convenient place to stay in Baltimore. Check in was easy, the room was spotless and breakfast was delivered to our door.

Great having an apartment to ourselves. Loved seeing the Dolphins on our trip to Cape Clear. Dinner at Casey's was fabulous.

The scones were delicious. We had a very restful night, everything was clean and nicely organized.

Wonderful welcome, lovely details like the continental breakfast arriving unexpectedly in a bag outside the bedroom door - this is a class act in a beautiful village in West Cork.

Just such a lovely welcome it was warm and friendly and it was the perfect start to a perfect stay. The pictures are completely accurate and the location is spot on. We loved it thank you so much!!!

Great Airbnb right in the centre of Baltimore village and close to everything you'll need, easy to find and lots of space, host very prompt with responses to queries and check in/out seamless.

All good!

Great location, house perfect

Great location, clean and well presented. I would agree with previous reviewer about extra costs. Listing them in the description is not ideal as they can be missed and then an unpleasant surprise after paying the required rental amount. €100 for cleaning was quoted in correspondence with the host months after booking was made despite €70 being the advertised cleaning rate - cheeky!! Also, €1.50 per litre of heating oil is approx twice the cost of bulk-buying oil from a supplier. We had the heating on for 4 hours a day (2 morning/2 evening..... it was mid-winter after all) costing €55 at the end of the week! Likewise, wanting to charge €15 per week for wifi? All leaves an unnecessarily sour taste.

we loved our stay here and it was just what we needed when we were out playing all day at the fiddle fair here...close by and comfirtable

Thank you very much for everything, Risteard. The apartment was perfect, Baltimore is beautiful, and you were so helpful as a host. Thank you again.

Spacious and comfortable house in beautiful Baltimore. Close to town and the amazing Beacon. Very much enjoyed staying here!

The house was in a great location, just a short walk to the harbour. It was clean and well equipped with all the home comforts. The sun room was a great retreat to sit during the day and read with a pot of tea. My time in Baltimore wasn't long enough this time around. I'll be back

Don't doubt to book a stay in Aisling's and Donagh's cottage, it will be one of your best accommodations if not the best ever. The cottage is really cosy, nicely decorated, high standards, heart has been out into building/restoring it, it's warm, high-end kitchen to make lovely food in, bed is comfortable, and the fireplace is amazing and easy to use. Aisling and Donagh are lovely hosts. They love to set aside some time to get to know their guests. On the day we arrive they welcomed us and brought us to the local pub to socialise with us. On New Year's Eve they also invited us to go and celebrate it with us and the local community, we appreciated this a lot. If you are dog lovers they also have to lovely Labrador Retrievers who are adorable. The surroundings are great, very remote, quiet, beautiful walks with nice views. It's a perfect getaway for anyone and especially couples. You don't even need good weather because you can stay in the cottage and just enjoy it so much. Another great part is that there is no mobile phone reception (or very weak) which mean you really get that relaxing time you wish for. They do have wifi though in order for you to stay connected if you can't put your phone away. We can't say thank you enough to Aisling and Donagh, we loved our stay and will be back!

A lovely lovely place. We will be back. Would highly recommend it.

I travelled around Ireland for 10 days. This cottage was by far my favorite place to stay! Just soooo cute and Cosey. The hosts Aisling and Donagh are very kind and welcoming. They spent a lot of time upon my arrival helping me find hikes and things to do. Their two dogs, Millie and Elsa were my new best friends (2 adorable yellow labs). They went on all my hikes, having them along was a big treat for me . I could go on and on about how warm n comfortable the cottage is, just has really good energy in my opinion. I really didn't want to leave. And hope to make it back done day in the future. Loved it!!!

Aisling and her husband, Donagh, were fantastic hosts; both were very welcoming. We had a fantastic time. The cottage is warm and well-appointed. Only stayed one night, but would have gladly spent an entire weekend.

Aisling was a wonderful host. She gave us great directions to the house so it was very easy to find. She had freshly baked bread (still warm) waiting for us and had eggs, butter and milk in the fridge which was a lovely touch. The house itself its gorgeous. Very rustic but still modern with electric shower and Sky TV etc. The house does need a car to get to but it has lovely surroundings and absolutely silent at night which is what we wanted. The two friendly doggies was an added plus! I would definitely return on my next visit to West Cork.

We had a really nice stay in Aislings cottage which is very cosy and peacefull. The welcoming was perfect. We surely recommend it

We had a very relaxing stay in this charming cottage. Unfortunately the weather turned nasty which meant we ended up staying in the house a bit more than anticipated, but with a fire in the stove and big thick walls to keep out the cold, this really was no hardship. Both Aisling and Donagh were very welcoming and helpful - inviting us for dinner, making the fire every day, organising taxis, lending us the dogs for a walk. One last thing, the reason we were down in Baltimore was for the night time kayaking which really is worth checking out.

Aisling is a fantastic host and you will not regret taking advantage of her lovely home! She had great food and activity suggestions and made herself available for any questions. We even got to go on a hiking tour led by her two golden retrievers!

Well where do I start? My fiancee and I visited here for a short escape from London. We had the most incredible time. Yvonne and Richard are two of the most amazing hosts we have ever come across. They were so welcoming and gave us some great advice about the area but were so sensitive to the two of us wanting privacy as well. Nothing was too much trouble. Their daughters are adorable and the dogs are great fun. The quiet that surrounds the house is incredible, we haven't slept that well in a long time. The house itself is flawless. Immaculate, warm and with lots of hot water! Nothing better than sitting on the porch with a pint watching the sun set over the bay. If you're looking for a break, look no further. You're out of the way but with everything that you need near enough. Great walking spots, managed to get some whale watching in too. If you're a foodie, ask for their advice on restaurants. If you're a cook, head to the food shop in Skibbereen and grab a few nets of fresh mussels and get creative. I had to drag my fiancee away kicking and screaming. We will be back. We can't thank them enough, they really made our holiday.

Richard and Yvonne were excellent at communicating in the run up to the holiday, answering all questions and queries superbly. When we arrived, Richard was extremely welcoming, showing us around the stunning residence, advising us on what to do and where to eat, and drawing us a map for some walks we hoped to do during our stay. He was always only a text away and if we had any questions was available immediately to help. It was a stunning part of the country to stay in and despite the rain we were kept entertained throughout. The house was everything we expected and more; a beautiful warm, cosy and comfortable space to relax in. Hoping to return to Baltimore in the near future and when we do we will definitely be booking in with Richard and Yvonne again!

The house was absolutely great and perfectly located for a stunning view. Richard and Yvonne were extremely welcoming. The area is great as well for hiking and enjoying the beautiful Irish coastline and scenery.

The boathouse was lovely exactly as it is pictured. Stunning views with the most welcoming hosts. We really enjoyed our stay here. Richard and Yvonne were very helpful with organising a boat trip to see the dolphins as many boats were booked out with the good weather. Baltimore has just one take away and when it's busy they don't do takeaway so plan your food in advance. The bbq came in very handy for home cooking.

Excellent house in a beautiful part of the world. Hosts were very helpful.

Richard was very welcoming when we arrived and was on hand with any questions prior and during our visit. House is perched high above Baltimore a d has lots of space. House was really cosy and as we had bad weather had lots of games for kids to play.

The Cedar Boathouse is located in a really romantic and calm place with a picturesque view on Baltimore. Very comfortable place for big families and also for couples to discover West Cork. Yvonne and Richard are amazing hosts, very supportive to organize your individual program and always ready to reply to any questions and to help in need of anything. We can highly recommend to everyone stay at this fantastic place with such lovely hosts. We will definitely return in the future!

Richard was a great host and very helpful, he even dropped us over butter for our fry in the morning too :)The house was beautifully crafted with stunning views and we cannot forget the mighty craic we had down in the village. Thanks again Richard & Yvonne

Caitriona's house was lovely! Interior was beautiful, house was very clean and tidy. Would highly recommend! Great location, short walk to Baltimore Harbour.

A lovely holiday home very clean and well kept close to the village just a 10 min walk . Would recommend for a family break for sure thank you Caitriona

Great central house and Catriona is lovely to deal with.

A wonderful place to spent more than 3 days. There a lot to do and see !

Our family really enjoyed the stay in Baltimore. The house was the perfect base, just 5 minutes walk from Baltimore village. Everything was clean and tidy and the house is very bright and nicely decorated. All the appliances worked well and we had everything we needed. Many thanks Caitriona, we would definitely stay again.

Awesome

Location Location Location and you just can't beat this location! On top of that Bernadette is as great a host as anyone could ever hope for. Fantastic host and simply the best location: - 10/10!

Lovely little spot, great location!

Our stay with Bernadette was lovely. The beacon shore guesthouse was right in the center of the small, scenic village of Baltimore and the perfect location for our stay. The establishment was clean and we had a beautiful view of the water. Bernadette was the perfect host, providing recommendations for things to do nearby and places to eat. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area :)

Excellent location. Great welcome. Lovely breakfast.

Location is great -

Comfortable, well run and great location.

Location great breakfast lovely options .Fab view from dining room and our bedroom. Bernadette was a perfect host. We will hope to stay there on many more visits.

Location location

Had a great short family break here. Location is great - just a five minute walk to the village. Great space in the house to relax.

Marks family made us very welcome, we found them relaxed, easy to talk to, informative and during the stay inubstrusive. The home was excellent, relaxing, well positioned, close to restaurants, bars, the harbour and island ferries. Whilst within easy walking distance of all social venues it was free from any intrusive noises, and no passing traffic. The house was well furnished, the furniture was modern and comfortable. It had a great kitchen area that was well equipped. The bathroom facilities were great and the "power" showers a dream after a day on the water or sightseeing. The house had a large off road parking area that would accommodate at least three cars and a boat. The property is located in a beautiful, historical and interesting area of Ireland, with the options to go sightseeing, get involved in a range of activities, socialise with the very friendly locals and just relax. I will have no hesitation in recommending the house and hopefully we will be returning soon.

This is a great house, really spacious, in a super location. Perfect for a holiday base in West Cork. Mark was an excellent host. We will be back!

Mark is an excellent host. for my original contact to dealing with a broken tv remote on a rainy day in West Cork. we couldn't have asked for better. The property itself is fantastic, loads of space, comfortable, well laid out, ideally located in a quiet cul de sac with pleasant neighbors, and safe for Children to play outside. I would highly recommend this property

What a beautiful place. The house was spacious and really handy for our two families of young children. We really enjoyed spending time there and there was also lots of room for the children to play in the back garden. The house had all the amenities you would need for a stay and it was very comfortable. Both Mark and his agent were available by phone at anytime to answer our questions. We would highly recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in Baltimore. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Great house in perfect location within close proximity to village. The house is well equipped with all amenities. Wonderful!

Hostess left us bottle of wine and flowers as greeting, also chatted a bit before departure. House is charming as shown in photo, and garden is lovely, could be perfect. Beds are comfortable and linen of good quality. Kitchen contains every imaginable implement, and wifi works well. Location is great, on water`s edge and short walk from village. Owner responded quickly to any issues.

An absolute fantastic House. We were realy happy to be there. So much space and the open fire was a dream. Baltimore is a lovely little village, with nice pubs, beautiful countryside and some activities around (like whale watching!). The Internet was super and the beds very comfortable. I hope I will stay there again in some years!

We enjoyed one if the best family holidays ever in Maria's home. Maria couldn't have been nicer to deal with and was super friendly. Her home was spotless and had absolutely everything we needed. Apart from being one of the most beautiful homes in Baltimore it is also situated in easily the best location In Baltimore. Absolutely perfect for family with kids with the cove right outside the door. Can't wait to visit again.

We loved this cottage and Baltimore so much, we stayed 3 months! We cannot recommend it highly enough. First, I will start with the cottage itself! Perfectly situated right on the cove, with direct access to the sea, and easy walk to the pubs and shops in Baltimore itself. The cottage has 4 bedrooms, although we only used 2, very comfortable beds and big rooms. As we were there in winter, we spent most of our time in the very warm and cozy snug, which is attached to the dining/kitchen area. The house is decorated with a nautical theme reflecting much of the history of the area. Great views from many rooms in the house. Now on to Baltimore itself. We loved the village. The people were so friendly and welcoming, and we got to know a number of the characters during our stay. There are 5 bars in the area, 3 in Baltimore itself and 2 on the outskirts. We would go to Caseys every Saturday night for the craic, really miss that! Wonderful place, wonderful cottage, loved every moment there, we will definitely be back!

Lovely, comfortable cottage. We were a group of 6 adults, a baby and 2 dogs and we immediately felt right at home in Elgin. The cottage feels like a proper family home rather than a rental. We loved that we could all fit around the kitchen table to eat together. Thanks for a lovely stay!

"Charming" is exactly what Maria's home is, and then some. I spent a week by myself while working at a local fish smokery, to be joined by my wife, three kids and parents for another 3 days. The house was perfect, in an incredible location directly across from the harbor. Well stocked kitchen for cooking at home, bright window light.....just an overall great experience. Maria was very easy to work with and was always an email/call away. I would highly recommend. Oh, and eat at Glebe's cafe' up the street, great people and great food!

Maria responded to any questions we had in a very timely manner and made accomodation for us due to our late arrival. The house was so beautiful inside and out with the nautical theme and gorgeous roses (the biggest I have ever seen!) The kitchen was the most well equipped of any house with any cooking utensil you could imagine. The linens were soft and luxurious. The excellent bottle of wine and fragrant vase of roses let us know we were welcome. We spent many hours enjoying the bright and cheerful sunroom with the large collections of books. The sitting room was our nighttime retreat in front of a cozy fire. We had the most amazing time exploring the countryside and view of the cliffs and ocean up the road behind the house. The town of Baltimore was small and quaint with a pub and restaurant as well as a small store. We found many treasures to take home from local gift shop down by the ferry with handcrafted items from artisans on nearby Sherkin Island. We did need to travel to the larger town of Skibberreen about 15 minutes by car to find a larger market,gas station, and bank. We enjoyed our stay at the Cove so much we hated to leave and are already planning a return visit.

So relaxing a location, not a sound, great views of cove and Baltimore harbour. Such a charming house, with wonderful bedrooms, fab beds and bedlinen, so tasteful. Lovely sunroom for evening wine and chats. Snug sitting room with real fire for darker nights. Excellent facilities re washing, cooking. You would need a travel playpen for toddlers who like climbing the wooden staircase. Perfect location and lovely walk to Bushes Bar/Beacon etc

We stayed with 2 couples and a 5 month old baby. It was a very comfortable stay - 3 big bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a big living area, lovely view and very close to the centre of beautiful Baltimore. The photos and description do not do this place any justice. Highly recommend and we will stay again when we return to Baltimore.

We had a lovely few days in Baltimore. Regina was very attentive to our needs both before and during the visit. When we asked for extra child related additions for our 14 month old, she obliged without question. The house is far bigger than the photos represent and was more than adequate for our needs. The location is two minutes walk from the main square in Baltimore so we only needed a short jaunt home after a pint in the sunshine. Thankfully the weather added to the time we spent there, but for the sunny few days, the property was absolutely perfect as a base.

This is a wonderful house to stay in. Very clean bright and spacious. The description is very accurate. Regina is an excellent host and very contactable at all times. She left scones, brown bread, biscuits, tea, coffee, butter, milk and a fresh cream cake in the fridge for us!!! Thank you Regina for such a lovely warm and generous welcome to your house.

Regina had left perfect instructions and also some food for breakfast the following morning and some frozen pizzas in the freezer for us. The house is spotlessly clean and very well decorated and stocked with everything we could need to make our stay enjoyable. Location is ideal - short walking distance to pubs, restaurants, ferry to sherkin or cape clear. Would highly recommend this place. Some of our party had to leave early for personal reasons but Regina was understanding and very helpful.

The apartment was spacious and bright and well located, just a short stroll to the cafes, restaurants and bars of Baltimore. There's lots of things to do in the area on sea or on land with breathtaking scenery all around. We recommend the Sea Safari - even saw a whale and many dolphins and seals. We had a great stay here.

Regina was super accommodating and was a great host! We had a lovely time at her house.

Great location, quiet area, suitable for kids.
