  • "A warm welcome from the owner, and a lovely warm, clean cottage in a beautiful location."

  • "We managed to find the cottage in the end - it's well tucked away (though that was great - just what we wanted)."

    The owner and her dog are both extremely welcoming; the accommodation is clean and comfortable, and we had free access to the huge, lovely garden. It's in a beautiful part of Ireland and well placed for access to Skibbereen, Bantry and the stunning coastline.
