A great place with great company and great weather
We were an extended family of 10 meeting up to catch up. The house and location were wonderful with the garden sloping down to the water's edge. Crookhaven was an idyllic setting in the warm sunshine. Barleycove beach always has a magic in whatever weather. We all rate this holiday and this setting very highly.
The only drawback was the poor wifi reception in the house. This gave us an additional reason to visit O'Sullivan's Pub and sample the wifi, the alcohol and the crab sandwiches. Wow ...

Fantastic
This home far exceeded our expectations. The pictures seemed too good to be true. They were accurate. We had a truly wonderful time here in this well appointed home. The sunsets are amazing and it was nice to be able to walk home from the local restaurants and pub, which were also amazing. O'Sullivan's crab platter is awesome!!! John and Suzanne were fantastic, responded to e mails promptly and were very helpful. We even stayed an extra night. We have so many beautiful pictures, the surrounding countryside is gorgeous. We will be back and will recommend to everyone.

Better than home, period.
I don't know if a review is very usefull if it's only constituted with superlatives...
Even so, let's try.
First of all, Suzanne and John are very gracious hosts.
Suzanne is very reactive with the mails and very prevenant. Her indications to find the house were very usefull.
John was waiting for us at the house to welcome us. Patiently waiting for us even if we were an hour late and unable to tell them (so sorry again, John). His firsts words were "welcome".
A bottle of delicious wine were waiting for us in the fridge. Believe me, for French, that matters!
Thanks you again Suzanne and John, weare all touched by your kindness.
As regards to the house, well... The name is true, it's a piece of heaven.
The descriptions of the house is 100% true and beyond.
The house is very comfortable, tastly decorated with basically all you need.
The best are the outdoor spaces: a vue... the ocean in the back of the gardens...
Bonus, the O'Sullivans: the nearest pub (3 mins away from the house). Don't miss its seafood chowder, its sandwiches and its craic!
I already miss the place and will come back, for sure.
Best location, ever.

A really positive experience
We stayed a week to celebrate a wedding anniversary and had a lovely time. Weather was dry and sunny. The house is even better than it looks in photos. The open aspects to the sea at the back and access to the garden was great and especially for children. The kitchen lounge dining area is light and airy with all amenities to hand. The two en suite bedrooms are beautiful but all five bedrooms are very comfortable indeed. Locally, O'Sullivan's bar and two good restaurants are within walking distance. All the party had a very relaxing time.

Great house, beautiful views, lovely owners, going back next year for twice as long
Well presented and well equipped house, great views from the back over Crookhaven Harbour, access to mooring for boats and areas to store kayaks etc. It is very comfortable and a better quality house than I have experienced anywhere else in many years of renting holiday houses in the area - which is reflected in its price.
The owners were charming and very helpful indeed, even lending us a mast when one of our dinghy masts broke - not many landlords would do that!
Crookhaven is beautiful, remote, great for walking, cycling, kayaking, sailing and sea fishing.
