This place is just unbelievable!!! We will be returning here next time we are in Cork. Not only are the house/grounds beautiful and inviting but the people who live there, Declan and Marie, are two of the most genuine and interesting people I've met. So if you want to stay in a home whichbis literally 5 minutes from the city centre but has all the delights the countryside has to offer, this is the place for you. If you want to experience Irish hospitality you will that too. We asked Declan to show us around the property which is located on the top of, and extends down into the valley. With the sound of running river water, kestreld flying through the air overhead and amazing exhibitions of century old engineering, thus is just an idyllic place to visit. The homemade cakes given to us after we arrived were delicious and breakfast the next morning was perfect, fresh fruit, yogurt, tea and coffee, bread and jams, exactly what we needed. The room we stayed in was warm, had a nice couch, workstation with tea/coffee/biscuits and an excellent entertainment system with WiFi capabilities. We were able to watch Netflix within minutes. Most importantly though, the bed was one of the most comfortable in which we have ever slept, would return just for that. Thank you so much Declan and Marie.
