Cottage vacation rentals in Midleton

It’s hard to even describe the beauty of this place, the cottage was perfect and the amenities are wonderful, everything you need to have a great time. The grounds are truly breathtaking, there is a real magic about this property, loved every minute. Gerard and Ann were excellent hosts, thank you!

My family stayed at Esther's place for 4 nights. We had the most wonderful time! The house has beautiful views of the ocean and is a short walk from both Inchydoney beach and the hotel. The house was clean and spacious with room for the whole family including our dog. Esther was welcoming and provided lots of great recommendations for the local area. We would definitely recommend Esther's place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the beach!

I could not recommend a stay at these poolside cottages enough! Great value for money. Ideal for a romantic short break away. The location is perfect and the cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The nearby town Clonakilty is worth a trip to and is easily accessible by car or taxi,

Stunning location, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna is a real treat! Local recommendations all brilliant. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and three children — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the fresh scones on arrival to the local ice cream, milk, and butter, which were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat and the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. There’s so much to do nearby — our family especially enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in Rosscarbery. Clonakilty is a charming town with great spots for shopping, coffee, and lunch, and the Clonakilty Pudding factory tour was a fun and unique experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

Gerard was a lovely host. Beautiful grounds, would definitely stay here again. Very peaceful and very clean. Hot tub and sauna are a lovely addition to this already stunning airbnb.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Magical Stay for a Very Special Birthday We had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful cottage in Ireland to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The cottage itself is charming, spotless, and incredibly well-equipped — the perfect blend of cozy and luxurious. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with breathtaking countryside views that added to the sense of escape and relaxation we were hoping for. The hot tub was a real highlight — soaking under the stars with a glass of wine after a day of exploring was magical. My mum was thrilled, and it truly made her birthday feel special and indulgent. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay feel personal and welcoming. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, a welcome basket, and helpful local tips made all the difference. They even helped us arrange a few special surprises for my mum, which we’re incredibly grateful for. We couldn’t have asked for a more per

Absolutely beautiful cottage and location with views over a white sand beach where kids can play, great walks in area and very peaceful, would definitely return!

Snugborough was exactly as advertised and being honest it was beyond our expectations. We were met by Jennifier with warm scones and given information on the local villages and surrounds. The cottage was warm and cosy and set a peaceful location with magnificant views and a beautiful garden to wander around. We will definitely be staying in Snugborough again. To Jennifier and Paula thank you so much for a fantastic stay. Andrew & Pam

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. the house was very clean, with very little clutter. The beds were so comfortable. It was super convenient that the local shop was right across the street from the house and they stock plenty; even some frozen foods, which was handy. Sandy cove is close, and the kids loved the playground nearby (walking distance).. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊

A rare find. such a wonderful property. Clean, beautifully furnished with so many thoughtful, meangful touches. Dog was safe at all times, chickens were an absolute joy to watch and eggs were as fresh as you can possibly get. The views over the sea are incredible. The host was a pleasure to deal with, so helpful. Thank you and hopefully we will get a chance to visit again.

Stunning location, lovely cottage and very friendly and helpful host. Definitely recommend staying here!

The cottage was lovely and their dog (Bear) is delightful.

Would recommend anyone to stay with Patrick. Quiet, clean, and very comfy.

Belinda and Peter were incredible hosts. The grounds surrounding the cottage are lovely - figs growing on the arched entrance, aromatic roses climbing the walls, along with fruit trees, a garden, and unique number of trees on property. The cottage is gorgeous and functional, everything just as described and seen in photos. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with our hosts and highly recommend their place.

We spent 2 nights in the lovely blue cottage. Amazing surroundings.. Very quiet, peaceful and with a lovely garden near the ocean. The cottage is basic and has everything. Susan and her family gave us many good recommendations. The two closest towns were a 10-15 minute drive, it was a great location to see a big part of county Cork.

We had a fantastic long weekend in Caroline's place, everything was as described, beautiful house and garden, very cosy and comfortable beds. Great location for exploring West Cork in a very quiet location.

What a gem, great location just outside Blarney and Cork City not too far away.

Had an absolutely fantastic stay. Very peaceful. Could walk to Youghal though it’s a bit uphill on way back. Sheila is lovely host and made sure we had all we needed, including apple pie. Warm and cosy house with lovely feeling. Would recommend Youghal- there is more to it than meets the eye, worth exploring and definitely visit The Nook for live music on Thursday. Wonderful place to stay. Thank you.

Excellent cottage just far enough away from the City Cork. but not too far away that it was a long, boring drive. Extremely clean home throughout! Host had mill, butter, and snacks that definitely added to at-home feel. Highly recommended

Had a most enjoyable stay at Caitlin’s place. We managed to visit Mizen Head and Kinsale to end our challenge of completing The Wild Atlantic Way. The property is thoughtfully prepared, clean and tidy and more than fit for purpose. I would most definitely recommend Caitlin’s property.

Claire’s place was excellent — a great host, fabulous space, and very good communication. We stayed here while working in Cork area and thoroughly enjoyed our time. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed stay. Claire, many thanks for having us!

Pat's cottage is an excellent place for a short or long stay. It is very nice, clean and well equipped. The location is great as a base for driving holidays in the Cork region. The hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate with. This is just a perfect place!

We had a lovely stay at Otter Cottage -- the location is simply magical and extremely peaceful, with astounding views outside the front door, and from the master bedroom window. There was another couple staying in the 'granny flat' to the rear of the house, but we had plenty of privacy. My children loved exploring the grounds, the river, and the beautiful private trail that goes on the hill above the house. It's an older cottage -- clearly much loved over the years -- and it is somewhat rustic in terms of the interior. However, it's very comfortable and with plenty of space for our two adults and two teens, with extremely comfortable beds. There is so much to do in the surrounding area within a 20 min drive (Lismore, Youghal, and Ardmore were highlights for us!) but it was wonderful coming back every evening to our charming cottage and garden. We'll be back!
