We had such a lovely stay in poolside cottage 1 at Ardnavaha House. The cottage had more than enough space for two people, and it was very comfortable and clean. Gerard did a great job communicating with us, and our check-in process was quick and easy. It’s a great place to stay if you want to stay somewhere quiet, but not far from town for whenever you want to go to the market or restaurants. It’s also an easy drive to places like Kinsale, Cóbh, Timoleague, and Cork City. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and peaceful!
Be sure to use the Google Maps link Gerard provides or Apple Maps. We made the mistake of using Waze, which took us on narrow, bumpy back roads and one road over from our destination. Once we used the link Gerard provided, it was easy to find and close to the main road.
The only issue we had was on our last day. It was extremely windy while we were there, and there was a short power outage of about 10 minutes. We didn’t realize until late that night that it must have affected our hot water supply. As we were leaving early the next morning to catch an early flight out of Dublin and didn’t want to disturb anyone during the night, we decided to forego showers and notified Gerard of what seemed to have happened in the morning.
I would recommend Ardnavaha House poolside cottages to anyone and will absolutely stay again if my travels bring me back to Clonakilty.
