We just spent 4 nights at the Rock Cottage Country House. It was a wonderful time for us. It is a fully self contained cottage that sleeps 3. The cottage has a fully fitted kitchen suitable for cooking, a BBQ grill, a cosy fireplace for cold Irish evenings, and 3 beds (double and single super comfy) in an upstairs loft area. The bathroom was large with plenty of hot water with good pressure. Jackie also has another independent cottage that can sleep two more people if needed. The setting is perfect for exploring the Schull area. It is situated on a large property and Jackie is available if needed. There are donkeys to feed, chickens and ducks who like the food scraps and a great system of recycling all rubbish to minimise our impact locally. Jackie was very prompt in all her replies and everything was organized perfectly for our stay. She also has a great laundry room which you can use for a small extra fee.
Whilst staying we would recommend the Schull Sunday market, great for picnic supplies if you want to head off afterwards. Also go to Ballyrissop beach which is about 10 minutes drive from the cottage. You can be brave like the Irish and put on your swimmers to bathe or like me, huddle in your coat and beanie and enjoy the beautiful view. We would recommend a visit to O'Sullivans pub to have lunch by the wharf/water in Crookhaven. We also did a great walk in Glengariff Nature Reserve. Schull is a cute town, as is Ballydehop. If you choose the Schull peninsula area we would unequivocallly recommend Jackie's place. Great spot, awesome accommodation and lovely service. My son is already planning a return visit and we hope to return again as well. Thanks Jackie.
