Jacks' Coastguard Cottage Vacation home

Disappointing

✓ restaurant with a view, food mostly tasty, monkfish was dry - kept warm for too long?

✗ The cottage was simple, appliances old and rusty, furniture a little grubby, same is true for the kitchen and equipment.

Lovely area

✓ The location was good, and having an en suite in each bedroom was a plus

✗ The shower in the front bedroom had very poor flow and was very slow to drain. There was limited kitchen equipment for self catering for 4. During our stay a brick fell down the chimney. The owner, when told, did send a builder to check on safety. When we arrived we were told there would be "a bit of disruption" as there was a seafood festival at the weekend. As we were leaving before then it initially didn't concern us, but 2nd night, fairground rides occupied the back garden, and by the 3rd night, portaloos were directly outside the back door. If I had known this, I would have chosen to book elsewhere for those dates

Very good

✓ Location

✗ Tea or coffee facilities would have been welcome

Pleasant

✓ Very nice view, nice landscape, very good restaurant and always helpful and friendly bartender.

✗ The floor of one of the bathrooms was not clean, I didn't complain, I cleaned myself. The water was not warm all time. We had hot water in the evening but not in the morning. We could not manage to get hot water in the morning, but due to the lack of time we could not ask how to fix it.

Beautiful location with amazing pub next door.

✓ The rooms are comfortable and the accommodation is located in a beautiful place, close to the ocean with a great view. The house has a pub next door which is part of the restaurant as well, and this was the highlight of our stay. Everyone was so welcoming and kind in the pub, which is a very cool place.

✗ The showers had so few pressure, it was hard to have a quality bath in the front bedroom. The location, besides being beautiful, is 30 minutes away from the Killarney's city center, which might not be convenient if you wanna enjoy the night there.

We had a great time, close to a fabulous golf course, good walks, great scenery. Love Ireland 🇮🇪💚🍀

✓ Great location, friendly helpful staff

✗ Would be nice to have a bit more water pressure in the showers but not a big deal for such a lovely place to stay

Exceptional

✓ Good location for the group that wish to explore Killarney and also be near the beach

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

✓ Location - amazing. Restaurant both staff and food - amazing. B&B itself - all amenities you normally expect, incl.cuttlery, pottery, pan, pots, baking tray.

✗ Not used to operate the hot water boiler with timer, so had to wait to get hot water for shower as we did not set it up after check in, but only on the evening when back from short exploration around. Maybe little presentation or getting it set up when hosts arrive in future helps to others like us...
