About this cottage rental
Keane's Cottage (a restored ruin) is a special holiday rental offering it’s own unique experience that has been recently approved under the new 'Welcome Standard' by 'Failte Ireland' (the Irish tourist board).
The River Blackwater creates the boarder of Waterford and Cork Counties. As it approaches the town of Youghal it opens out into a large bay and then narrows before opening out to the ocean. On the West Side, the town of Youghal runs up a steep hill from the waters edge; on the East side of the bay are the fields dotted with houses of Kinsalebeg. Keanes Cottage is nestled on the Kinsalebeg side with a view of the town on the other side of the water and just a four minute walk to the bay. It is an excellent and central location for traveling to many landmarks and tourist attractions. An excellent walking or cycling location, the cliffs of Ardmore are only a 10 minute drive away. At least six beaches are within a ten minute drive. The main road (N25) between Cork and Waterford is only five minutes away. There are many golf course nearby.
But it is also a wonderful Cottage to just relax and enjoy, put your feet up in front of the fire. It has a spacious living room, dinning room and and kitchen and all the modern convinces. Large teak windows and skylights keep everything bright. We have done much to make your stay comfortable. We want for you to have a great stay and if there is any way we can help you with your planning or questions you may have please let us know. We are more than happy to help.

I had a wonderful and restful time at Keanes Cottage. It was a good central location to a variety of places to go to and things to see. Bridie was a doll and supportive with a hiccup or two, that were quickly resolved! Rowland was great at communication and has a lovely home. I walked to the beach everyday and visited with the cows too. It’s just a gem of a home.

The cottage does not feel like a rental. It is quite cozy and welcoming, and really feels like you aren't just a guest, but a part of the family.

We stayed about 10 days. Cottage is centrally located between Waterford and Cork within 45 minutes each way. Town of Youghal is just accress the bay with shops and a few restaurants. Dungarvin, a bigger town is 20 minutes away. Cottage is a 5 minute walk to the bay. Owners were great and responded immediately when the refrigerator died. they arranged a temporary refrigerator from their efficiency nex door and got a new refrigerator within a few days. we only had to use our cooler for one night. Very friendy and responsive owner.

My husband and I, along with out two daughter's (9 and 14) enjoyed about 2.5 weeks at Keane's Cottage and had the best of times. The cottage was a dream, very clean, in the perfect location for our needs, and leaving to come home was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I could not imagine staying anywhere else as the cottage had everything we could have possibly needed. I'd highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting the area.
