Skyros | Modern Luxury Self-Catering | Schull, West Cork Coast

Guest testimonials

Truly enjoyed Skyros and the wonderful view. We went on the move and enjoyed Kinsale, Blarney Castle, Dingle and Mizen Head. The highlight was the Dingle boat tour out and around the Blasket Islands. We saw minke whales, dolphins and lots of birds including puffins. I enjoyed visiting the sailing school and shop. We’ll have to return and sail out of this lovely harbour. We enjoyed several hikes and I´m just in love with all the wild fuchsia and foxglove bushes! Just beautiful. Thanks for opening your lovely home to us. What a unique experience.

Amazing house, wonderful location, great views - stating the obvious, we know! The changing scenery and dramatic locations can rival anything you might see in mainland Europe. If you are in Baltimore, a meal at Baba´da is highly recommended and a boat trip through Roaring Water Bay to Cape Clear Island is a good day out with or without (in our case) minke whale, dolphin or basking shark sightings. We are sad to leave this lovely spot in Schull and the wonderful landscapes of West Cork and Kerry. Thank you for providing such a picturesque base, for such a well-stocked kitchen and, of course, for the generous hamper.

Skyros surpassed our expectations! It´s an exceptional property and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. The welcome hamper was bountiful with local goodies and there were fresh flowers waiting for us - it´s those little touches that make the difference. It´s modern, well equipped with everything we needed and in a great location. The views are incredible and ever-changing. It felt very secluded; something we love. All in all, perfect. We felt very lucky! We have used Unique Homestays before and the quality of properties and service the team provides are always first-rate.

We have just spent a most enjoyable week of holidays in the beautiful Skyros. The location is amazing, our eyes never tired of the sea views and the weather reminded us more of the south of France rather than traditional Irish weather! We have been delighted to have had the opportunity to discover this part of the country, thank you!

We have had a wonderful time in your beautiful house in Schull. Not only is it spectacular in every way, but there is also a lovely feel and flow to it. Thank you very much for all the lovely touches, not to mention a kitchen to inspire a modest cook like me.

This place is absolutely amazing. The house itself is gorgeous and we have loved hiking around the surrounding towns and villages during our stay! The view from the house is the most fantastic feature; the telescope provided us with a lot of fun to look out on to the view. We have pretty much explored the whole of South-West Cork during our stay, visiting Allihies, Sheep´s Head and Mizen Head; all with great coastal views. Thank you so much for this experience!

What a wonderful place, thank you so much for sharing it! The view is breathtaking and changes hour by hour. So many photos we have taken to refresh our memories of Ireland. This place is a gem, one we will share with our friends. Thank you!

Sometimes in life moments occur where you become aware that what is happening is special and you are creating a memory that will last a lifetime. The sort of memory you can look back at when you are older and know you truly lived. Moments where you feel totally alive. We´ve just come back from staying at the incredible Skyros on the foothills of Mount Gabriel and I am without doubt that those few days will last forever.
