The owners are the friendliest, most helpful owners we've rented from. Their home is gorgeous, was exactly what we expected, and they were communicative throughout our stay. I cannot recommend this property enough! I am so grateful we stumbled upon this listing and hope we get an opportunity to stay at one of their properties again.

Our family had such a wonderful stay at Knockenhooley Cottage. From the moment we arrived, Jason and Liz made us feel incredibly welcome. They are genuinely kind, friendly hosts who clearly care about their guests' experience. They took the time to share recommendations on places to visit, hikes to explore, and local sights, which helped make our trip even more memorable. One of the first things that greeted us was a lovely welcome cookie tin for our family—a thoughtful touch that immediately made the cottage feel like home. Throughout our stay, it was those little details that really stood out. The cottage was cozy, comfortable, and full of character. After long days spent hiking and exploring the beautiful surrounding area, it was the perfect place to come back to and relax. Having a washer and dryer available was a huge bonus and made a big difference during our trip, especially after hikes and rainy days outdoors. The location was ideal. There is a beautiful beach nearby and a small town just a short drive away where we could easily pick up groceries, fuel, and any essentials we needed. It felt wonderfully peaceful and secluded while still being convenient to everything we needed. What we appreciated most was how much the cottage felt like a home rather than just a place to stay. Jason and Liz have created a special place, and their hospitality truly made our trip. We left with great memories and would absolutely stay here again.
