Just back from 10 wonderful days in Toormore. The cottage is in a great location for exploring the area. Lots of living space (for family of 6), very well equipped and lots of garden outside to explore. The tidal creek at the bottom of the garden is great - we took the kayaks out a few days on high tide where you can travel from the garden (under the road) into a very sheltered bay which the kids loved. There is a great family friendly beach less than 5 min drive away which has lots of rock pools and shallow water for the kids to enjoy. Barley Cove is 10/15 mins away if your looking for bigger waves. Schull has some great places to eat (we particularly liked the Bunratty Inn and Newmans) and some lovely walks down by the harbour. Larger towns of Banrty and Skibbereen are only 30 mins away. John and Sarah were very helpful with any questions we had and Sarah gave us updates on things going on in the area while we were there. Would highly recommend.
