3rd time here - fabulous as always
This was our third time staying here and we adore it. The property itself is fantastic and the grounds are stunning. We love seeing the animals and being welcomed by Saffron and Elsa! Our own doggies had a fantastic well also. The hosts are so lovely and we always feel very welcome. The location is ideal for sight seeing around West Cork. Would highly recommend.

Restful Haven
We stayed here as part of our three week driving holiday. The accommodation was great but the location always requires a drive-- restaurants, groceries, etc. It depends on your comfort with daily driving on narrow twisty roads. The hosts were always helpful--extra blankets and tire pressure checks. Thanks again.

We had a fabulous stay at Rock Cottages!!
I would highly recommend a stay at the “Stables “ at Rock Cottages near Schull! So peaceful , beautiful gardens and accommodation is so cute.. my sister and I stayed with my two dogs end of July 2019 and our hosts Jacqueline and Jonathan were so welcoming and friendly calling to give us free range eggs and freshly caught mackerel and checking that everything was ok with accommodation. We also really loved all the farm animals... Elsa and Saffron were so nice and really placid dogs.. and as for Barnie an Bonnie the donkey - what characters... we also got to feed the hens and geese which was great fun. Again loved our time there and will definitely return again !!

Really enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous area!!
Great location, v central to Mizen Head, Crookhaven areas as well as Schull direction. Loved feeding the donkeys and the little walk way to the hill view.

A warm and cozy place to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing. Great hospitality!
Jonathan and Jacqueline were perfect hosts. We had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed meandering around the property, and the view from the hill is amazing! We also enjoyed the pups Elsa & Saffron. They were adorable, and very welcoming. We would come back in a heartbeat! Mavis & Terry Floberg. Vancouver, BC Canada

Beautiful accommodation in a great location with a lot of lovely animals
We stayed at the stables in july. It was a lovely accommodation in a great location. Unfortunately there were some very rainy days in this time, but it didn't really matter, because we felt like home and could read a good book at this time. There is a nice little way to walk directly behind the cottage. We had a lot of fun with the lovely animals. The donkeys loved their carrots, and the dogs and a cat visited us very often. Jackie and Jonathan are very friendly hosts. Excursions in the surrounding areas one shouldn't miss are Mizen Head, Sheep's Head and even Barleycove Beach.

Superior accommodation, lovely welcome
The Stables are just as lovely in real life as in the photos, perhaps more so. A reassuring newness is tastefully dressed in a warm, homely decor, cute and cosy. Our hosts were most friendly, calm and helpful, the facilities are well managed and the complex of buildings (and animals) has a wonderful charm. Bathrooms and kitchen are all pleasantly modern and the timber stove kept us aglow all night. We stayed in January when many amenities and cafes are closed but the surrounding landscape more than compensates in its stunning beauty. We found a handful of good restaurants still open, cruised the peaceful, empty roads by the sea and marvelled at the winter sun slanting over Sheep's Head and Barleycove beach, two nearby locations that should not be missed. Ultimately, we wanted to stay for longer. It's difficult to find self-catering accommodation of this standard in Ireland and we hope to return.

romantisches Cottage
Das kleine Cottage ist wirklich süß und sehr romantisch. Für uns als Paar war es perfekt. Die Umgebung ist der unglaublich schön, man hat kleine Fischerorte und traumhafte Strände in der Nähe. Auch Ausflüge sind von hier aus gut machbar, jedoch sollte man ein Auto haben. Das Grundstück ist toll, die Tiere und die tollen grünen Wiesen hier kann man wirklich abschalten. Wir hätten uns nur gewünscht das "the Stables" etwas besser beheizt und sauberer wäre, leider waren viele Spinnweben im Raum und es war etwas klamm. Wir empfehlen "the Stables" auf jeden Fall weiter.

Landhaus auf hohem Niveau
The Stables ist ein wunderschönes kleines Landhaus mit geschmackvoller Einrichtung und allem was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt braucht. Man möchte gar nicht mehr woanders hin. Danke Jackie und Jonathan für den freundlichen Empfang mit dem leckeren selbstgemachte Brot und Marmelade. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
