A real gem & great views- I had a great long weekend in Coastguards. Everything was perfect. Welcome pack & Halloween treats. The fire was left ready – just had to light it. Everything you need is in the house. The Coastguards is a great location straight beside the village (shop) & beach. Amazing views. –Maeve October 2022

Beautiful location – “During the last week in June when the weather was miserable, our family had a wonderful holiday in Renvyle.  We enjoyed the spectacular view from our house and also driving the narrow meandering coastal routes.  Despite the mist & rain we cycled, swam, walked and had great nights in Paddy Coynes and relaxed in the comfort of No. 10 Coastguard Station” – Ann July 2022
