Can't think of anything.

The house and room were beautiful and very clean. Margaret and Jim were so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was amazing- great view of the ocean and hills! If you are looking for a place to stay in Rosscarbery, I highly recommend staying here!!

I cannot recommend Bethel Guesthouse highly enough. Margaret is a wonderfully thoughtful and helpful hostess. The beds are comfortable and the room is well appointed with beautiful views. There are lovely drives in the area as well As great restaurants. Breakfast is available at a reasonable cost. You will need cash as she does not accept card payments.

Rooms were immaculate, view of the ocean was amazing and hosts were so friendly. We had plenty of privacy and great accessibility to two neighboring towns. The tea kettle and provided coffee in the room was a great perk

My trip to Ireland lasted 12 days. That means I got to know 12 accommodations throughout Ireland. The Bethel Guesthouse was by far the best. Margaret and Jim are great at looking after your well-being. The room is great and you can even see the sea. I slept very well. If I go on another trip to Ireland, I'll definitely stay with them again. Thank you 😊 Auf Wiedersehen ❤️

Jim & Margaret are exceptional hosts. Really a pity that we stayed only for one night. We felt welcome from the first to the last minute of our stay. Everything was so clean and the breakfast is a big plus.

The hosts are extremely friendly and nice, humorous and cheerful, informative and so helpful - meeting them left a lasting impression on us and it was very hard for us to leave. Thank you, dear Margaret and Jim!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Both of them are exceptionally kind and helpful hosts who made us feel very welcome from the very first moment. The accommodation itself was spotless and well maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable. The location and surroundings are truly extraordinary – peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for relaxing and exploring.

Everything! Very cosy, very quiet with a nice view on the ocean, large rooms, very clean. The hosts were fantastic, advising proactively a very nice restaurant for dinner and even booking for us. They also gave us very valuable advices on what do do nearby, where to park in Cork… Very nice hosts, making us feel part of the family!

The location is quite good between Rosscarbery and Ownahincha Beach, but walking to the beach means walking along the roadside, and being careful about passing traffic. The Guesthouse would not be convenient if you don't have a car....

Staying at Bethel Guesthouse was like being embraced in the warm arms of your Irish aunty and uncle! Margaret and Jim were just lovely - they were happy to chat, and were genuinely interested in engaging in conversation, hearing about our lives and travels, and giving helpful suggestions on places to visit in West Cork and beyond. The Guesthouse was very comfortable, with gorgeous views, and a lovely continental breakfast. Free and convenient parking.

If I could give this guesthouse 11 stars I would! The hosts are the nicest people I've ever met. They went above and beyond their duties to make sure we had a lovely and comfortable stay. The breakfast was very filling and nice, the rooms were beautiful and the whole premises was exceptionally clean. The hosts had no problems giving you extra tea and coffee or even giving lifts to the nearest town or bus stop. The guesthouse in 5 mins walk from Owenahincha beach with a café that serves hot food. There is a bus stop 6 mins walk from the guesthouse that brings you all the way to Cork city, stopping at Skibbereen and Clonakilty. I think one really needs a car to drive to the local tourist attractions, but as I have previously stated; the bus can bring you to Clonakilty and Skibbereen town. I can't praise them enough and I can't wait to stay here again!

Margaret and Jim were very welcoming, friendly hosts and the location was amazing! Great views of the green fields and the beach nearby. They really went out of their way to get to know us and help us with our holiday plans. We only wish we were staying longer, and we'll definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area! x

We loved everything!

The property is a beautiful, large house near the sea. Margaret and Jim are incredible and wonderful hosts; they were incredibly kind and available to meet any needs. The rooms are excellent, spotlessly clean, tidy, and stocked with tea and coffee, but the optional breakfast is superb, served in an elegant room with meticulous attention to detail. The shared bathroom was absolutely no problem, there are two large bathrooms for - I think - five rooms, one of the two was always free and above all they were always spotless. We were truly disappointed to only stay for one night; we hope to have the opportunity to return soon.
