"This is just that we needed peace and quiet not to far from all towns the cottage is lovely spacious and clean."
The cottage is on a working farm but on it's own private land.
The owners our really nice people we would be back as soon as we can.
Having your own car is good bonus, trips to local beach's and other local land marks.

"Nora and Andrew are a lovely couple and we really appreciated all their help and support throughout our stay."
They were very friendly and answered all our questions.
On the first night, quite late, Andrew drove out to meet us and direct us to the property because we are not very good with directions. Nora popped over to advise us on the property and also help us with the dishwasher, which we were unsure about.
We identified a problem with the upstairs shower and they arranged for someone to come and fix it. Since the property also has a separate bathroom with a bath and shower attachment, we were still able to have showers before the upstairs one was fixed.
As an added bonus, Nora provided us with some fresh eggs from their farm, which were very welcome.
The property is excellent and in a wonderful, rural location. It is also dog friendly, which meant it could accommodate our Labrador Retriever. It is an excellent base from which to venture out and experience all the many wonders of County Cork and beyond.

"We loved the peaceful setting."
Nora was a great host and filled us in on nearby walks. It was great to be beside a working farm and to hear the cows being milked. We will be returning there in the near future.

"An Grianan is a beautifully situated cottage in the Clonakilty countryside."
3 lovely bedrooms and 2 are en-suite which is perfect. There is also a main bathroom on the ground floor. A very spacious living room and kitchen for cosy nights in. The owners Nora & Andrew were perfect hosts and also invited us to watch the cows being milked. Would recommend.

"We had a lovely warm welcome and our hosts were great people."
Nora brought us fresh eggs a few times which was so kind. The house was really nice apart from the furniture being a little uncomfortable in the living room and not many channels working on the TV. The area was stunning and we were able to go see the new born calves next door in the shed. All in all I would recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with great walks and beeches and local towns not far away. Oh and a lovely little pub just up the road .

The cottage was wonderful with friendly hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves
The cottage has everything you need to feel at home."
We had daily visits from the farm dog, saw milking time, got fresh eggs and enjoyed a little bit of rural paradise
You will need a car!
Highly recommended

"Cottage and owners ensured we had a lovely 2 day break - even though not far away."
It is a very relaxing place but with the choices of plenty to see and do and with our dog as well. Hopefully will return for longer soon.

"Had a brilliant week staying in this lovely cottage."
Nora was so lovely and our children loved seeing the cows being milked and playing with Molly, the farm dog. A great base for exploring west Cork.

"Although we only needed a cottage for two, we decided to go for something a little larger than we needed."
We found that this plan worked as we had everything we needed - a beautiful cottage in a beautiful area, stunning countryside and views, close to towns in every direction with pubs for food, the ability to cook in the cottage if we wanted to, good tv channels and friendly owners - not to mention our visitor, Molly, the dog! Visit the Michael Collins House in Clonakilty, the Famine Centre in Skibbereen, the strand a Inchydoney, and the pub looking over the sea in Glandore, and then plan to come back next year to do it all again.

"The house was very isolated and could have been cleaner as when we arrived we had to clean up a lot of cobwebs and also in the shower room we had to clean the shower water outlet which was blocked solid with hairs and water was building up in shower."
As for the location and mileage from Clonakilty and shops Etc. this was completely inaccurate.
In all this was a nice two story house situated in a rural farming area with no amenities available within 8 miles either side of the dwelling.
Thanks
