The Lough is calling you home ...
Unplug. Unwind. Uncover Lough Hyne.
Perched on the edge of Ireland’s only marine nature reserve, Lough Hyne Cottage is a retreat for those who crave the extraordinary.
Here, morning swims replace alarms, starlit soaks outshine screen time and the air is thick with the scent of saltwater and sourdough. Whether you're diving into adventure or sinking into stillness, welcome to a retreat that feels like it was made just for you.
Come stay with us
At Lough Hyne Cottage, we invite you to immerse yourself in the rhythm of nature’s embrace. Awaken to the melody of birdsong, inhale the fresh West Cork air and enjoy a wood-fired soak beneath a sky full of stars. Here, there’s no rush, just moments to savour.
Be as active or as lazy as you like. Ensconce yourself fully in the comforts of the cottage or explore the native Irish woodland of Knockomagh and the Lough’s stunning shores.

What our customers have to say...
We had a really relaxing stay at Lough Hyne Cottage. The accommodation is set is a wonderful location overlooking the lake and is decorated very tastefully. Steven is a top class host and a lovely fella. We will be back!
We had such a wonderful stay at the Lough Hyne Cottage! It was the most beautiful, tranquil oasis. I don't think it matters what the weather's like, but we were blessed with sun, each window delivers loucious green views. Absolutely perfect getaway. Great recommendations from Steven & Claire, super friendly and helpful!
Steven and Claire are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips for exploring the area. And we had the best brownies we‘ve ever had! So delicious. Not to mention the eggs right out of the cage! Very nice and peaceful place. And I loved the view into the trees waking up. Highly recommended!
We stayed three nights in the Lough Hyne Cottage and only wish we could have stayed longer! The space was beautiful and all details thoughtful — the eco-friendly design and amenities only adding to the peaceful, relaxing experience. We also did a seaweed bath on-site that exceeded all expectations.
