  • "Wonderful house in a great little village!"

    1 Closheen Lane was the perfect place for our stay in County Cork. Immaculate accommodations with all the amenities. Large home with a huge kitchen. Lots of room for the two of us and our two large dogs. The large garden is beautiful and private and fully fenced for the pups. Rosscarbery is a very "walkable" town: great restaurants and pubs steps away from the house. Also a fantastic base for visits further afield. I'd highly recommend 1 Closheen Lane for a holiday stay in County Cork.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed enjoyed your stay and the house met your needs. Rosscarbery is definitely good for restaurants, pubs and there is also a nice cafe close to the house. Property Owner

  • "Loved this house."

    Three adults and one lively medium sized dog . Spotless on arrival. Plenty amenitues for holiday. Bigger than we expected. Garden very secure for our lively dog. We brought her own Tuffi bed for our dog ( over 4 foot long ) which fitted perfectly in the kitchen inside the backdoor so she settled quickly. Perfect location to walk the dog to the Pier and around the Causeway/ Lagoon coming back by the square for coffee and cake. Perfect location for the beautiful coast between Owenahincha and Clonakilty , along by the Galley Head. Also easy access to Glandore, Baltimore and Bantry, and many other beautiful spots if time permitted. Everything we needed and more . Thank You

    Many thanks Helen for the kind feedback. It is a great location and we are pleased that you found the place so clean on arrival and glad that you found the property so pet friendly too. Property Owner

  • "A very pleasant stay in this lovely and well located house in charming Rosscarbery."

    We thoroughly enjoyed both the house and the beautiful garden. Perhaps directions could be a little more detailed for the final stage of the journey once at Rosscarbery. This would be helpful to UK visitors whose sat nav doesn't recognise Irish postcodes.

    Many thanks for your kind comments. It can be difficult to find the house using a UK Sat nav so we will upgrade the directions! Property Owner

    This very clean, well maintained 3 bedroomed cottage has a large garden to enjoy despite some road traffic noise. Ideal for a family with children as the twin room is less suitable for adults.

  • "We had a lovely few days in Roscarberry."

    1 Closheen Lane was perfect. We particularly enjoyed the fabulous location with a short walk up to the town and over to Warren Beach. House was spotless and lovely and warm. Travelling with a teen meant that the excellent wifi and TV entertainment was a hit for the evenings. Loved the touches including some beautiful art. Beds very comfortable. Lot of space. Large beautifully landscaped garden which must be fabulous in Summer. In short, the house had absolutely everything we needed. We had a few questions before our arrival and host was very responsive and helped with restaurant recommendations and shopping queries. I am definitely coming back and plan to book for Summer. May even think about bringing the dog!

    Many thanks for your kind comments. Property Owner

  • "House bitterly cold on arrival."

    Even colder than outside. Owner said house had been closed for 6 weeks, in the middle of winter! - never occurred to him to have someone go in and put the heating on prior to our arrival! I was wrapped in a blanket hours after our arrival as it took that long for the heating system to thaw out the place. Oven filthy, clearly not been cleaned in a very long time. Owner blamed previous guests who stayed over Xmas and new year! Acrid smoke pouring out stinging my eyes, filling the room and smoke alarm going for ages. Had to open door on a cold night to let the smoke out. Also horrible smell from oven. Disgusting. Broken light bulbs, owner said he'd have them replaced for us. Instead someone came in while we were out and moved one bulb from a light and put it in a light with a broken bulb! Couldn't have a proper bath because the bath plug is so old and worn away that most of the water leaks down the plug hole, also water pressure from the bath taps so poor that after 45 minutes of running, still only a couple of inches of lukewarm water in the bath as all the hot water had leaked down the plughole! Shower not much better. Slow trickle of water veering from scalding hot to cold. Both bathroom and en suite shabby and dated. Should both be refurbished

    Thank you for your comments. There is a fully functioning heating system which heats up the house relatively quickly as well as an electric fire in the living room for instant heat. Our usually excellent cleaning team, who cleaned the property the day before, to facilitate your request for early access, did unfortunately miss the oven. They immediately attempted to rectify the issue, however, oven cleaner remained, causing smoke. The oven is now spotlessly clean. The missing light bulbs are specialist bulbs for the bathroom mirror light and hob could not be sourced at short notice. Water pressure was tested and is normal in the bathroom and elsewhere. New drain plugs have been ordered. The electric shower is well known brand and in good working order. Potential guests can use the photos (which are an accurate representation) to view all aspects of the property to gauge if it meets their requirements. As with any house, from time to time, things can go wrong but we always try hard to rectify issues quickly. Apart from the problem with the cooker and bulbs, issues raised were not communicated to us until after you had completed your stay, giving us little chance to rectify. We spend 5/6 weeks every year in this property ourselves and we try maintain high standards so that our guests enjoy their stays as much as we do. Property Owner

About the location

ROSSCARBERY, COUNTY CORK

Clonakilty 8 miles; Skibbereen 13 miles.

Situated at the head of a tidal inlet about a mile inland from the sea and located between Skibbereen and Clonakilty, Rosscarbery makes for an ideal holiday destination. Dating back to the 6th century, this sleepy country town was once one of the major European cities and famed as a centre of learning, having previously been a university town. Nowadays it is home to a much smaller population and benefits from a lovely laid back and relaxed atmosphere. There are quaint little shops and good Irish pubs as well as a number of quality restaurants to tempt your taste buds. The town itself is in close proximity to three fine beaches, the nearest of which, Warren Beach holds the prestigious Blue Flag status. Those who enjoy watersports are well catered for and there are great opportunities for walking, cycling and golf nearby.
