“We are leaving reluctantly. We had a wonderful stay & the image of this beautiful place will now travel home with us, never leaving our minds & urging us to return to Ireland and especially Dunowen Cottage”

"We found an oasis here, a chance to revisit childhood memories & relax in the best of comfort. We hope you enjoyed hosting us as much as we enjoyed being here."

“The real people, grace, charm & beauty of Ireland all in this lovely cottage & its people, Jody, Con, George, and of course Cecilia in her absence. We are enriched and at peace from our stay … & we will be back”

“We could not have picked a nicer place anywhere. The hospitality & friendship shown us by the Scully’s could not be matched”

"More than we ever expected! Such a comfortable and welcoming home and we so enjoyed the views & scenery. Loved the location – so much to do here – hope to be back soon"

"I spent the last day of this magical holiday on top of the hill, trying to absorb, inhale and imprint the many wonderful memories of my Ireland journey into my mind, soul and heart. A million thanks to the Scullys and God for sharing such a beautiful place"

"Thank you for making our first visit to Ireland PERFECT. We feel blessed to have met the family and George. Dunowen is BRILLIANT! We hope to return some day soon…"

"Words cannot describe how lovely West Cork, "The Cottage" and the Scully's are... had a fantastic holiday. We felt very much like spoiled children here and it is difficult to leave a place that so quickly began to feel like home. Thank you so much" "We wanted to live here forever! Although we had to rent a car to stay in this house, it was worth every left-side-of-the-road moment! No pictures could do justice to this place. The 3-bedroom house, which looks like it could have come out of "Better Homes and Gardens," has two large bedrooms with a full bathroom (stall shower) upstairs and a bedroom, full bath, large living room and large kitchen (with clothes washer) downstairs. Views from one of the upstairs bedrooms, the downstairs living room and kitchen are of the bright blue sea down the hill. We walked down to the beach every sunset. The owner's family, who take care of the house, live down the road, and the family collie, George, used to come over for a daily visit."
