Crosshaven House

A fantastic experience from start to finish . The house is specious but still manages to be cosy , luxurious but comfortable at the same time , The house is close to a well stocked shop and any number of pubs so the car is not needed from when you arrive . The two kitchens are ideal for a large group and the dining room is really special for festive dinners . Noel is the perfect host and nothing is too much trouble he is always on hand to help when need and goes above and beyond to make the weekend special .

Having stayed in Crosshaven House in early Summer for a family occasion, all 12 of us, and having been treated extremely well with everything at our disposal, we repeated the visit earlier this month for another family occasion. However, on this trip, there were 14 of us including 3 young children, 3 teenagers as well as 8 adults. Out host Noel could not do enough for us even to the point where he offered me access free of charge to the electric car charger located in the grounds. We were shown, once again, the extremely well equipped kitchen as we intended to entertain some friends as well as where everything was located. I can only offer the highest praise for the accommodation, the cooking facilities, the beautiful grounds including the "Dome" and particularly the actual atmosphere within the house which really is extraordinary and offers a real relaxing stay. This was commented on by all family members as well as our guests who visited during our stay. I would recommend this magnificent home and its gardens for any family occasion as well as those seeking a truly relaxing break. I would also see it as an ideal base for corporate events where the ambiance of the house would certainly place those attending in a positive frame of mind from the moment you enter the beautiful main entrance hall. I rarely do reviews as sometimes I doubt their integrity and content and "one mans taste is another man's poison" etc!! However, Crosshaven House really is a jewel managed by Noel who really cares for his guests and their needs regardless of how insignificant the request. It is a place we all will certainly be returning to again and again!!! Tom McCarthy Dublin

Stayed for a couple of nights midweek with extended family. House is spectacular in a perfect location right in the heart of Crosshaven. The owner went above and beyond in assuring our visit was perfect. Highly recommend and will definitely stay there again.

We planned a pilgrimage to Ireland for our large family to discover our ancestral roots and wanted a place where 13 of us could be together. Crosshaven House fit our needs perfectly. We were absolutely blown away by the restored Georgian manor with numerous huge, beautiful bedrooms and large rooms for gathering in front of a fire in the fireplace and even a small movie theater! We were especially impressed by our host Noel, who could not have been nicer or more accommodating. He helped us plan for a catered meal in the stately dining room, provided us with a full Irish breakfast each morning including fresh baked scones and arranged for our transportation to Old Head for a few of us to play golf. Noel had just completed the construction of an amazing geodesic dome on the front lawn and we had so much fun hanging out and enjoying the evening. We went to the local pub, which is right across the street and enjoyed a few pints and some music. We highly recommend Crosshaven House as a truly amazing place to stay for larger groups. It was definitely the best place we stayed in Ireland and a highlight of our trip. Thank you again Noel for making it such a special experience for our family!

From beginning to end, our stay at Crosshaven House was perfect! The place was immaculate from the decor to the bed linen, and the views to the (big highlight!) new geometric dome on the front lawn. We spent Saturday afternoon sitting inside it watching the world go by and the skies change, thankfully, from cloudy to blue! So well located and with attention paid to every detail, I cannot wait to go back!

We had the amazing opportunity for a family gathering at Crosshaven House and what a perfect venue it was for us. We are a large family who all brought our kids along ranging from the ages of 4-26 and every single one of us absolutely loved it. From the moment we opened that stunning blue Georgian front door and entered the house through the reception room with the library and grand piano it was complete luxury. Us older crew cherished the epically comfortable four poster beds, large luxurious bedrooms, free-standing baths situated in the most opulent bathrooms, topped off with breath-taking views of the sea...what more could you want? The large but cosy reception rooms with charming antiques, chess sets, lavish dining room, and purposeful chef's kitchen all serve to ensure that everone's needs are met. The kids had an absolute blast flying kites in the front lawn, over looking Crosshaven and slept soundly in the fantastically furnished family room. A special thanks to Noel who couldn't have been more welcoming and was accessible for any questions to help make our stay even better. We will be back!
