Book a Barnatonicane Cottage

"The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was excellent. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. Breakfast was delicious"

"A very nice comfortable stay in a well appointed room. Wonderful views across the bay, and a very welcoming proprietor. A delicious breakfast as well."

"Reasonable old pub room with great food served at night and excellent breakfast"

"The cottage was absolutely lovely, with a wonderful view, check in was easy and we were met by the host Jack on arrival (who is a true gentleman). Kathleen was in easy contact throughout the booking process also, and answered any questions promptly (as it was our first time using VRBO).Lots of extras, condiments, tin foil etc in the kitchen that we could use, only downside was water pressure in upstairs bathroom wasn’t strong enough.Unfortunately whilst we were there, there was a problem with having no electricity, due to new solar panels being fitted previously. However this was through no fault of the hosts and Jack & his family including his grandson, were very apologetic and went above and beyond to rectify the problem, which they did, even offering alternative accommodation. We had a great time, wonderful cottage, beautiful scenic place & such a lovely family, we would love to stay there again., and will definitely be back :-)"

"Very good "

"We were delighted with our stay, which was in conjunction with a poetry book tour for the Unsinkable anthology from Salmon Poetry (Ireland)."

"Lovely hotel. My room had a beautiful sea view. Staff friendly. Overall very relaxing stay."

"Our family of three (two adults and a 17 year old) history buffs were so excited to have the opportunity to stay in this castle. Stephanie was very clear that she had been very intentional about how she restored the castle and it was exactly as described. The outside and parts of the inside were restored but not updated so that we could really immerse ourselves in the history and truly feel the lives of the people who had lived there. When we were in need of a more modern break and some creature comforts, we escaped to the top floor where we lounged in the sunshine and the beautiful view. Thank you Stephanie for preserving this precious piece of history and for sharing it with us. Some advice is to bring your own pillow and blanket if you will be sleeping anywhere but on the top floor if you have any allergies. The castle is by its nature, damp and I'm sure it's impossible to keep the linens fresh especially in the rainy spring when we visited. Also bring some sturdy soled slippers/inside shoes for navigating the stairs. "

"Room was reasonably quiet, comfortable. Breakfast cooked element was good. Had avocado toast. Staff were mostly pleasant and accommodating apart from one or two staff members who could smile and interact with the guests. "
