Sometimes you need a nice view to really appreciate West Cork and the Turf Cottage has just that. I could sit comfortably and gaze out northwards to see traffic winding its way west along the road towards the top of the hill heading to the Buddhist retreat and on to Allihies. It’s some dilemma having to choose between the panoramic view downstairs or the higher trianguwindow upstairs and imagine what it must have been like back in the day to walk over the hill to Allihies. “I’ll do it one day”, I say to myself as I stretch and enjoy another few moments on the couch.
