Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen C. 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The cottage is lovely and very much as described, it it is actually bigger inside than it looks on the photos mainly I think due to the double height of the lounge but whatever it is a roomy enough place for a family. It was very clean. The main bed and sofas could be more comfortable and maybe those and linens are getting a little tired and yes it would be nice if there was a dishwasher and washer/dryer but the vibe here is rustic, relaxed, back in time and for that it is very well placed as is the location which is just outstanding. You are literally next to a very welcoming family friendly pub, and a three minute walk from a swimming beach with lifeguards etc. The host is excellent as is the house keeper who keeps the cottage in excellent order. ##### Stephen C.

Tragumna is a lovely place - the locals were very friendly and welcoming and very happy to chat!

Wind whistling around the house, and rain lashing the windows. The good news: the roof stayed where it was supposed to, and none of the windows or doors blew in. The rest of the week was very pleasant. Not sunbathing weather exactly, but plenty of sun nonetheless. The house was as it appears, small but very comfortable, with a lovely sea view. Good wardrobe space in the two bedrooms (one upstairs, one down), and a small but well-equipped kitchen area in the living room. Lovely sea views, and this being west Cork, a long list of lovely places to visit. Lough Hyne for example, Ballydehob and Schull (a pint in Hackett’s), Mizen Head and Baltimore (ditto for Bushe’s), and more lovely walks than you will ever have time for. One negative (for me at least), no internet connection, which is a drag if you have to keep in touch with work (I know, but not everybody can totally switch off), or with family. Still, the local bar, the Skibbereen Eagle, is only a few paces away, and they’re connected, so all is not lost. ##### EDDIE O.
