Guests say
Guests consistently praise Caola Nua for its idyllic setting, cleanliness, and the warm hospitality provided by the host, Eleanor. The property boasts stunning views, a comfortable and well-maintained environment, and thoughtful touches like homemade bakes. Its location is perfect for exploring the Sheep's Head Peninsula and enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside.
Reviewers unanimously mention the spotlessness of the property, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness that exceeds expectations.
The property's location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to nature walks, though accessibility in winter is noted as a potential concern.
Guests describe the house as comfortable and cozy, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and seating, contributing to a relaxing experience.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and spaciousness. However, a comment about the second bathroom being small suggests a slight deduction in the score.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently highlighted through mentions of welcoming baked goods. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, they are personal touches and may not be a consistent offering for all guests.

The house is idealy located on the sheeps head penninsula in west cork, with beautifull sea views to look at from the dining table. The house it self is large, comfortable and finished to a very high standard. The owner, Eleanor could not be more helpfull and accomadating, as was anyone we met in Killcrohane. A great week with spectacular scenery. We will be back.

The cottage is even nicer than the photos, and the view over the bay is magnificent. Sitting in the sun room with an early morning coffee is the perfect way to start your day. Beds, sofas, and chairs are all very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and everything is spotlessly clean. Eleanor is a delight and could not be more friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
