Highly recommend
Stayed for a week and had a wonderful stay! The house was very comfortable and is in a stunning location. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay complete with gorgeous view of the Bay and kayaks too! Highly recommended and hope to be back soon.

The most wonderful stay
We have just returned from the most wonderful stay at Bantry Bay House, the location is stunning and the photos don't do it justice! We made use of the kayaks every day (lifejackets are provided) and we spotted seals out in the bay. The house itself is enormous, even at full capacity it never felt crowded. One side of the house has a stairgate which was very useful with a 2 year old and we were provided with a travel cot and high chair, which was great. We followed a few of the recommendations, which were fantastic and enjoyed lovely food from Mannings down the road as well as a brilliant massage from Seaview House Hotel opposite. We look forward to returning! Thank you.

We'll be back!
We had the most amazing week at Bantry Bay House. The house itself is comfortable and well equipped, we had everything we could need and more in the kitchen. Outside is beautiful, the view and access to the water was the highlight for us and the hot tub of course! We will definitely return, thank you

I wouldn't change a thing!
I would definitely recommend this house. It was extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped. The garden is gorgeous with lovely seating areas and a bbq. The hot tub is wonderful and we had great fun with the kayaks. The area is lovely with loads to see and do. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely spectacular!
Don't hesitate to book this rental! A short drive from both Bantry Bay and Glengarriff kept all 13 of us busy, but we also needed a full day to enjoy the home. While no one took advantage of the kayaks (next time!) we loved the hot tub, big common areas, gorgeous gardens/landscaping (pictures can't capture it!) and the views!

Really Quite Striking
Westerly house is a beautiful and spacious home on the bay with modern amenities and in a great location to explore Southern Ireland. It’s a lovely country home off the main road providing a comforting place to relax and yet be close enough to everything one might want to see in the area to be convenient. Each of the rooms are beautifully decorated in a French style reflecting the owners heritage. Modern bathrooms, a TV room, a fireplace, a large kitchen area and a hot tub all contribute to the homes peraonality. We had a great stay.

Simply wonderful
The house is amazing, beautiful view, a lot of space, its cozy and worth a stay. Annette who welcomed us is very kind and helpfully. Marie we didn't meet but her help over the phone was very nice.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
