The River House, Nature Reserve Glengarriff

We loved the beautiful home and the property that it is on. Amazing!!

We loved our stay!

The house is located in a quiet forest and has a very large garden. Stunning views on woods and caha mountains; only if you look very carefully you might see tiny moving cars far away on the caha pass. We spotted deer in the garden. Glengarriff is only a few kilometres away. The house is rather spacious and the kitchen is large.

A very quiet location in the deep countryside with a pleasant feel.May be too isolated for some but with a car into Glengarriff in ten minutes and the drive over the mountain to Kenmare approximately twenty minutes.Most items in the property sufficient however if the stay is like ours a month then may be the seating in the lounge needs more and improved.Definitely if there is more than three people.Nice large bedrooms with upstairs having a view and pleasant sounds of the river.We used the oven, microwave and kitchen every day and found the aspect very good even on the very few rainy days we experienced.A few extra items and updates would be useful.A great month stay!

Lovely spot, secluded & restful. Cranky WiFi.

World class walks. Great escape to nature. Feels remote but great pubs and food a short drive away.

Amazing place to stay we were surprised the home was large and the views from the house were stunning. Hiking trails all around the location and it was easy access for us to explore many gorgeous parts of West Cork.

Check in was hard. We got codes but padlock on gate is on other side so hard to do. No info on wifi before or in house. Could not call from house to find wifi info.- this should be provided at house or before arrival so guests do not have to go all the way into town to call! Do not take road off of mountain- gps took us this way- treacherous. Better entrance 1 km from Glengariff. Pros; large rooms, pretty views, quiet, parking right outside door. Cons; no fans or ac and very warm night, mattresses bad- springs in your back, few trash cans, moldy shower curtain, No instructions on anything- washer, dryer, dishwasher, heat, wifi- coming from the US and not familiar made having no directions hard, motion lights came on in middle of night for a while.

The cottage was great and in a beautiful location. So peaceful ☺️

Great home for our stay in Glengariff! We had a beautiful view of the mountains from our kitchen window. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Loved the location of this property right in the heart of the Glengarrif Nature Reserve. Felt we were in the canopy of the trees listening to the babble of the river and birdsong. Incredible stars we were blessed with the weather. highly recommend.

This property was peaceful and recharging. It was refreshing to fall asleep to the sound of the river. The host was responsive and kind. Thank you for such a wonderful, recharging stay for our family!

We had a wonderful week surrounded by nature. The house had everything we needed. To put it in a nutshell - everything was perfect
