Drombrow Cottage

Le calme et le côté atypique et l’originalité de ce cottage.

Rien

The location was excellent, hidden along a very quiet country road, with a private drive to park two cars if needed. Rosie and Urs were very friendly, warm, welcoming and helpful - a lovely couple. All rooms where well stocked with everything you'd expect - extra towels, kitchen utensils, binoculars for spotting local wildlife plenty of brochures for local sightseeing opportunities and an eclectic collection of books and dvds for a cozy evening in. The water pressure for the shower was very good and the tap water gets very hot. To top it all off, after a good night's sleep in a very comfortable bed, there were goats in the nearby field, accessible from the drive upon request, one of which is very happy to be petted. Various other farm animals can also be spotted nearby.

There where a couple of things that we missed, but nothing dire. One was wifi to look up our day trips a bit better as phone signal and reception can be weak and questionable, and a washing machine. There is a washing line outside and clothes pegs. Due to the layout and location of the cottage and the extraordinary dry and warm weather, the whole place heated up quite a bit and it would have helped to have some netting or similar to be able to open the bedroom door to the patio after dark without letting uninvited guests in. But this is likely a recent issue that probably hasn't happened very often. Keeping the curtains closed helped during our stay.

We absolutely loved it here. The location is beautiful, a hidden gem. The host is super nice. This house radiates "relax".

The fact that there is no WiFi could be seen as an advantage because it keeps you away from your screens. However, ordinary phone coverage is available so you can have Internet without problem if you want to. Also we thought we could visit the bird islands like Skellig Michael from here, but the pier where the boat leaves is still 2.5 hours driving away so that didn't really work for us. But we had plenty alternatives.

De ruimte van de accomodatie met veel lichtinval, de rustgevende omgeving

Gen wifi slechte GSM ontvangst, maar dat is ook wel rustgevend

It was very comfortable in a beautiful location surrounded by nature.

Mooie locatie

Lovely helpful hosts.The cottage was delightful .A very special location of tranquility and very peaceful.Would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Nothing at all.

The quietest place we have ever stayed. Beautiful location that feels like the middle of nowhere. Quirky building that has everything you could need and extras too - like a log fire

Cette petite maison est un véritable paradis. On a l’impression de vivre au milieu du jardin. Le calme est absolu, seuls les oiseaux se font entendre. Tout l’équipement nécessaire est à disposition, c’est très propre, confortable. Et ici on est soucieux de l’environnement ! Monsieur est d’une grande gentillesse, très discret. La région est très belle et offre de multiples possibilités de découvertes.

Very comfortable and really well equipped. Cottage is so quiet and relaxing and Bantry and the rest of west Cork is not too far away.

Location as described, but hard to find. Hosts not available, and directions only given to their home, not the rental property

Very uncomfortable sofa - ikea style sofa bed. Log burner not working and no information about central heating. Bedding didn’t smell particularly fresh.

A beautiful place to cut off from all the world and technology. Love the ambience and quite. The world is peaceful over at the place. Every single part of the visit is exceptional. Would be visiting soon again. Thanks to Rosie and URS the beautiful couple, their story is also inspiring for people to visit this beautiful home.

Nous avons tout aimé ! Rosie et Urs sont des hôtes charmants. Le cottage est superbe et au calme dans la campagne. Un grand plaisir de se retrouver là le soir après de belles journées de ballade.

Das Cottage ist sauber und gepflegt.

Leider gab es zu keiner Zeit einen Ansprechpartner. Wir mussten selbst herausfinden, wie wir zu warmem Wasser kommen konnten, da es abgeschaltet worden war. Schade!

The quietness of the countryside.

No Internet access and no WiFi

L'accueil, le site, le confort

Nous avons beaucoup aimé ce cottage qui est un véritable havre de paix, au milieu de la campagne, et pas très loin de Bantry. Nous avons apprécié le très bon accueil de Urs, le calme , le confort, les espaces spacieux et très lumineux , les équipements, la décoration...

L'absence de wifi le premier jour, mais on s'en est finalement vite accommodé.

Cottage en pleine nature, très confortable, décoré et équipé avec goût, entouré d'un beau jardin fleuri. On s'y est immédiatement senti très bien. Rosie et Urs sont très agréables. Nous recommandons !

Lors de notre séjour de 4 nuits en juillet 2025, nous avons apprécié le calme et le charme de l'endroit, l'accueil et la discrétion de nos charmants hôtes (Rosie et Urs). La situation centrale de Bantry permet de se rendre facilement à Cork puis découvrir le début de la Wild Atlantic Way. De plus, les accès aux péninsules du Beara, du Sheep's head et de Mizen Head sont très proches.

Rien à signaler

Peaceful, cosy cottage in a stunning part of West Cork We had a wonderful stay at this charming little cottage just outside Bantry. It’s set on a peaceful farm owned by a lovely couple who gave us a warm welcome on arrival and a friendly goodbye when we left. The cottage is cosy, well-equipped, and surrounded by a lovely garden — perfect for a relaxing break. The location is ideal for exploring the West Cork coastline, which is absolutely breathtaking — dramatic, wild, and full of character. We loved visiting the nearby towns, beaches, and scenic spots, and were lucky to have beautiful weather during our stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Ireland’s southwest.

The location is ideal for a tranquil and relaxing stay (be prepared for a narrow access lane), yet within easy reach of Bantry. The cottage has an unusual design but is thoroughly comfortable, a lot of thought has gone into the decor and equipment. The hosts are delightful, on hand for assistance but respecting privacy.

Full cottage in delightful countryside. Hosts always helpful. Comfortable rooms with great space. Quiet and relaxing.

The sheep were not in the field next door!

The location is very quiet and peaceful.

Lovely peaceful cottage in a beautiful location. Rosie and Uns were wonderful hosts. Close to Bantry.

We provided our own food

Few more utensils - grater, more cutlery etc.

It was just perfect - good location, we had everything we needed and more.

Nothing - it did everything the inventory said it would thank you - Urs was a lovely host.

Great location for some peaceful time away! Very quiet and only a short drive into Bantry.

Location, The building is an octagon, silent and peaceful in a beautiful location with no distraction . Hosts Urs and Rosie were friendly and cheerful, no intrusions, a warm and comfortable building with window views all round on an organic farm. As it was the end of holiday season Bantry was quiet but there was still plenty to do. A beautiful place for a quiet retreat and to reset after a long year.

No dislikes it was all that we wanted

The most lovely hosts! The cottage is located on the property, in the middle of green forests and lands. When imagining a quiet place in nature to recharge, this woule be it! Very comfortable and personally we would have loved to stay much longer than just one week!

Nothing to be done about it, but the roads towars the cottage are very narrow and dark. For people who are nor used to driving off-road, I would not recommend driving around here in darkness and also never too fast!

Wonderful location - peaceful, rural site. Very welcoming hosts. Ideal for discovering or rediscovering beautiful West Cork. Cottage well designed and comfortable.

Lovely comfortable unique.cottage in tranquil rural setting.

Liked it all

Totally quiet dwelling on a farm. Next to fields of sheep and horses. Delightful hosts.

Nothing.

A little slice of heaven. A wonderful little house that has everything you need . 5 mins drive from Bantry.if you want some place to really get away from it all.this is it . Also a great location to base yourself to explore the Beara peninsula.

Beautiful, peaceful location with a cute, cosy cottage complete with wood fire. Very comfortable stay with charming, helpful hosts. Lots of thoughtful extras like dvds, classical cds, books, playing cards, etc.

Couldn’t fault anything

Rosie and Urs welcomed us on arrival. The cottage is very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and more. The bathroom was very clean and we slept really well in the comfortable bed. The cottage is close to Bantry yet in a very quiet setting. There is a lake a short walk away for a swim or just to sit and relax. Rosie and Urs are the perfect hosts.

Everything was perfect.

Perfect place, incredibly peaceful. We plan to return

The facilities were very well set up and the silence was fantastic. The bird song during the day was wonderful.

Absolutely stunning property within a quaint and serene setting and a real appreciation for nature.

Beautiful property in a stunning location with all the amenities needed to sit back and relax with your spouse.

Extremely clean, tidy and comfortable. Rosie and Urs are perfect hosts and very helpful. Perfect location, quite and peaceful. 11 out of 10.

I only had a week here would have loved to have had longer.

Rosie and Urs our hosts were such a lovely couple, friendly and helpful. The location in the heart of the country makes it the perfect getaway cottage for nature lovers ,walkers and anybody who needs peace and quiet.

The weather !

Nothing bad to say about the accommodation, only thing would be to prebook a taxi as it is located out of the town

this place is magical with the singing of birds and the beautiful green nature around and the owners are very nice

This place was perfect! A nice small cottage in the middle of the farm land. Next to you there are some animals which really gives you the farmland vibe. The cottage was nice and clean, very cozy with the fireplace in the middle. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Great place if you want to disconnect as there is no WiFi (which was a great plus for us!)

Very quiet and tranquil location, clean and tidy with all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay.

It was a little chilly when we got there, took a bit of time to warm up!

Every part of the trip. The location is amazing. Great views to enjoy. Simply to say, it exceeded my whole expectations on the trip.
