“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.

“An Excellent Home away from Home”

This property is a little remote from the nearest large town, Clonakilty. It is in Reanascreena, with an address of Ross Carbery, BUT after you find it, it is a lovely place to stay and relax after adventures just like home. The owners and proprietors are dairy farmers on the other side of the hedge. The cottage is a remodel of a old stone home used by their grandparents many years ago. The facilities included all the amenities for a very pleasant stay. We used this location for day trips along the coast of West Cork including Kinsale, Clonakilty, Timoleague, Skibbereen, Baltimore, Bantry, and all the peninsulas to lighthouses. Two special spots we visited were Galley Head Lighthouse and Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse and Golf Club.

“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.

“Tranquil area where the cottage was ideal for exploring.”

The owners were informative and knowledgable would recommend to others.

“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

“Fantastic homely cottage in a beautiful setting”

We spent a fabulous 4 days in the cottage mid-December, as a group of 4 friends in their 20's it provided absolutely everything (and much more) than we expected. Great local pubs, beautiful scenery and welcoming locals. We chose not to hire a car and did not find it a problem in the slightest. There is an excellent taxi service which is very reasonably priced, and a reliable bus service into the larger towns. Whether walking is on the agenda or sitting in front of a roaring log fire, the surrounding countryside and villages in West cork are as picturesque as they are welcoming, with plenty to keep you occupied. We ate out a few times and experienced an extremely high standard of locally sourced food, particularly seafood straight from the coastline. The cottage is in excellent condition with cosy rooms and a spacious open plan kitchen containing all mod cons and appliances. One of the most memorable and enjoyable holidays we have been on.

“Lovely house in a nice secluded location”

We spent a very enjoyable week there at the end of June with my wife and 2 young children (7 and 5 years old). The house is about 5 miles inland from Clonakilty and Rosscarbery nestled in a small valley near the small village of Reenascreena. We were definitely glad that Nora, the landlady came and met us in Rosscarbery to guide us there as I wouldn't fancy trying to find it! You would definitely need a car or motoroised transport if you were planning on staying here. There were nice touches on arrival such as milk and butter in the fridge and fresh flowers. The house was as nice as pictures suggest with a c. 1/2 acre garden and is next door to a working farm. Inside, the house was well maintained and a nice bright feel to it. It proved an ideal base from which to see much of west Cork – we spent a number of days on the nice sandy beach in Warren strand near Rosscarbery interspersed with trips to Kinsale, Skibbereen, Clonakilty and Union Hall. We were lucky with the weather during our stay but even on the odd rainy day there was still enough to do. There is a nice hill walk up Carrig Fada nearby which Nora told us about. It's a steep climb but not too long and worth the view from the top. We would thoroughly recommend it as an ideal location for a relaxing West Cork getaway.
