Nice cottage, lovely situated great to sit outside and relax. Nancy is a perfect host and we have had a wonderful Holiday!

We had the most lovely time at Quarry Cottage last month. It is cozy, beautiful and equipped with everything you need. Overlooking Schull Harbor, you're just a short walk away from town. Nancy and Tom are available if you need absolutely anything at all (in our case, it was advice on how to find a unicorn wand that my cousin saw at the market) and Phoebe the neighborhood dog is always up for a good outside happy hour. We look forward to returning many, many times in the near future!

My family has stayed at Quarry Cottage three times over the past five years. It is an excellent home to make your base for exploring West Cork. Nancy Brosnan keeps the house in pristine shape, there is nothing better than falling asleep her freshly washed bed sheets after a transatlantic flight. The cottage is about a kilometer outside of the town of Schull which allows for an easy walk to stores, pubs and the waterfront. Heading out for a walk in any direction will lead to wonderful views of Roaring Water Bay or Mt Gabriel. I highly suggest the quick walk up the hill to Sailors Point at sunset for a truly perfect end to the day. I am always looking forward to the next time that I can return to Quarry Cottage!

We really enjoyed our staying at Nancy Brosnan's wonderful cottage. Most of all we loved to sit and relax in the comfortable bright winter garden with its view of the surrounding garden. The kitchen provides all the facilities you need, i.e. dish washer, micro wave, oven and washing machine. The open fire place gives the living room a warm atmosphere. There is TV and WiFi. The cottage is ideally located in a beautiful coastal scenery, it's quiet and within walking distance of the Schull city center, where you can find all kind of shops and pubs.

As 1st time visitors to Ireland, we visited this lovely cottage in September and were treated to an Indian summer. The cottage was well equipped with a large kitchen/diner and a comfortable sun lounge with TV (the Sky box gets UK channels). We like a short walk, so the 15 minute walk down by the old church and along seafront path into Schull was just about right. Schull itself has just enough dining establishments and the 2 small supermarkets were very good to buy the food and drink that we needed, since the cottage is self-catering. It was a handy base for travelling east to Blarney/Cork and west to Mizen Head and Bantry. We took the ferry to Cape Clear Island for a very scenic (views out to the FastNet lighthouse) and pleasurable trip. There is a small shop/cafe and a couple of pubs there. It's worth noting that the ferry only runs on Sundays in September and the return timetable is 'flexible' - we were told as we disembarked that the return was 1 hour early than advertised.

After waiting 48 years for a return to Ireland for a reunion with my (Tom’s) 5 cousins in County Cork we decided that the perfect way for us to complete our visit, and see the beauty of West Cork, was to rent a cottage for 2 weeks. Our friends wanted to travel with us so the search was on. One the internet we found 4 cottages located close to the sea and each with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. We asked our cousins which one they would choose if they were on holiday and each said Quarry Cottage in Schull. They said it would be the perfect location for us to use as a base for our 2 week stay and daily travel. So the choice was made and what a perfect choice they made for us. The cottage is located a short distance outside the village of Schull on a hillside overlooking the bay with beautiful views. The location was perfect for us to make our daily trips as far north as Killarney and along the south coast east to Cork City. The owners, Nancy & Tom are special people and made our “perfect” stay at Quarry Cottage one that we will never forget. Upon our arrival we received “cead mile failte” (100,000 Welcomes) from them and we now have a lasting relationship, We plan to visit Ireland again in a few years and when we start our plans, a reservation to rent Quarry Cottage will certainly be made by us.
