Lost Cottage

What a wonderful week we have had. A real escape from the world. We have loved every minute of our visit to this wonderful place. The cottage and surrounds are so beautiful we will miss this peaceful place with its magical surroundings. Thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely be back for a return visit.

We were made to feel most welcome in “our” cottage as soon as we arrived. From learning about glaciers that shaped the land, to hearing stories about Badger O’Shea; our conversation with the owner helped us feel immediately connected to the property. The views are phenomenal, the bed linens luxurious, and the welcome basket divine. Our visit was restorative, refreshing, and I’ll admit I cried a little when it was time to leave. We certainly hope to return one day!

We had a wonderful time at Lost Cottage. The owner is an excellent host and it was a very nice surprise to find a basket with lovely products from the local area. Even the weather was quite kind to us! I have already told a number of friends about this ideal getaway!

We arrived at Lost Cottage and were welcomed with a hamper of local produce; it was wonderful and contained some particularly delicious bread and cheeses. The property was exactly what we needed; remote, peaceful and with excellent views. Lost Cottage was spotlessly clean and had every convenience necessary to make our stay comfortable. At the end of a busy day exploring, we would light up the outdoor fire bowl and sit and relax as the sun set. We ate home-cooked meals in the cottage every evening and found that the kitchen had every facility we could possibly need. Thank you for such a tremendous holiday.

Thank you so much for a perfect week for us both. What an amazing and relaxing home you have. Waking up and looking out over the lake was quite something. We both don´t want to leave and get back to reality. Our stay couldn´t have been better, so much so we are already talking of when we can return. Thank you again.

The property is simply stunning. The location and the scenic views would be hard to beat. The tranquil setting, sheep, trickling stream and having peace and quiet and the amazing walks all in one place has been a real treat! The owner was a true gentleman and made us feel very welcome and took the time to show us around the property. The new year we spent there will be one we will never forget with luxury at every stage!

This property is extraordinary. The tranquillity, privacy, and views are marvellous. The uniquely designed structure contrasts the traditional croft with the superbly modern master bedroom and bath. The home and its contents are clean and attractive. The host is wonderful and provided impeccable recommendations, detailed excursions, delicious local specialities, and a generous welcome. He clearly has put his heart and soul into the property and into making each guest’s stay, however short, wonderful. We look forward to booking again next year.

Fabulous hosts, owner and the housekeeper, friendly and helpful. Drop dead gorgeous location. They should keep the wandering sheep and goats. Lost Cottage has been one of our favourites. Thank you.

My favourite things were the sunken bath, the centuries old roof timbers, closing the little window shutters and lighting the wood burner for cosy evenings wrapped in a Donegal Tweed blanket. Oh and feasting on soda bread and local sheeps milk cheese - perfect!

The sheep on the mountain with their lambs peering in the cottage door and panoramic window was so sweet! Having the Wild Atlantic Way on the doorstep, empty beaches and the dramatic Ring of Kerry with its Celtic roots and amazing vistas makes it just the most incredible place to visit. The locals are wonderfully welcoming and you must go for a Guinness in the pub! The cottage is beautiful with its corrugated roof, red painted windows and the contrast of the glass fronted extension creates a truly magical home.

Waking up in the Master bedroom with breathtaking views of the lake and mountains through the picture window is something I will never forget. Watching the landscape change by the second was a total joy with huge waves of clouds then dappled sunshine, a summer rain storm and then total blue skies. This home offers total peace.

I was so excited as I drove up the sweeping drive, as I stepped out of my car I was mesmerised by the stunning views,it was like a portrait - mountain and lake views absolutely breath-taking! The open plan living area was fantastic with one gable end completely glass, with amazing views, it was lovely to sit and have breakfast while enjoying such views. It was a joy to wake up in the morning and just gaze at the private views through the massive glass window and watch the wildlife meandering, thank you so much for an amazing stay I will be back!
