A nice house with great scenery in a beautiful area.. A friendly and warm welcome by the letter.

Superb holiday in every respect.. Nellies Farmhouse is very clean, spacious, well furnished and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. Kitchen equipment was in immaculate condition which is always a bonus. The location is in a beautiful area with very little sound to be heard other than the birds! The cottage owner, Anna, was very warm and welcoming and lives fairly close by. We couldn't fault this accommodation and enjoyed returning to it at the end of the day. The area is stunningly beautiful and as cyclists we were able to enjoy it to the full. Our trip was perfect in every way - we even had good weather! Thank you Anna.

Nellies cottage has been an amazing place to stay.. Everything has been just marvelous. From walking the lanes until 11:30pm in wonderful twilight to the decor and finish of the house. The owner has to be complemented on the quality of the house, decor and finish. Plus all of the little touches. WIFI reception was great. Anna was a true host and was lovely to work with. Her directions were spot on. Ask her for instructions on how to use the oven. Apart from a little bit of traffic, the only sound you could here was sheep and cows. The patio furniture was simply a brilliant idea combined with super weather we used it for nearly every meal. While here, you must see Bantry the town (with a great market on Fridays) and Bantry House gardens. You must see the following: “Garnish” island and grounds. 10 out of 10. Drombeg Stone Circles. 4 out of 10. The Long Strand at Owenahincha 8 out of 10. For a remote walk down a wonderful beach. Inchydoney Beach 10 out of 10. Drive to Barley Beach 8-10. Clonakilty Town 9 out of 10. Cute town great little spot. Castlefreke and woodland area 6 of 10. Sheep’s Head Walk and turning point (Scenic drive 9 out of 10). Excellent evening’s walk at the end of the drive. Also try the Ewe Experience in Glengarrif. 10 out of 10. Very cool little spot. While in Glengarrif you also should visit the Woods Nature Reserve, climb up to the scenic view and also walk the meadow trail. 8 out of 10. A really nice walking trail with lovely views. Visit Kenmare for a lovely afternoon filled with lovely shops and eateries. We didn’t have enough time to visit Killarney National Park on this visit another time.

Nellie's Farmhouse is very comfortable with everything provided you could need.. It's warm and cosy with central heating and a log fire if you need it. Having 2 showers and 2 toilets was a lovely extra with 3 of us there for a week. Quiet and peaceful with no neighbours - just sheep and cows. It's a good centre for visiting the south west Atlantic coast and easy to get to from London Stansted, flying to Cork Airport and hiring a car. Anna is nearby to meet and greet and answer any questions and is a great character with her stories. We had a great holiday.

We loved talking to the housekeeper, Anna, who told us that Nellies Farmhouse used to be her family home but has since been extensively modernised.. We found Anna to be very helpful - she visited soon after we had arrived to tell us how the heating etc worked. Once one gets used to the howling gales and pouring rain that afflict the area from time to time, we found the cottage to be very comfortable and very liveable in. However, when the sun comes out, the area is beautiful and there are lovely views from the cottage of the surrounding hills and the nearby bay. (We were staying in April not usually known for its heatwaves!!) We would definitely stay there again if re-visiting the area.

Nellie's farmhouse is a lovely place to be.. It's 30 min driving away from Mizen Head, Baltimore, Glengarriff, Bantry and Skibbereen. The comfort in the house is top so a day relaxing there is also a good idea. We loved our stay there!
