Eco-house is the perfect description for the place, it almost seems to have risen organically from the earth, beautiful rounded shape made from clay and wood with a grass roof and composting toilets. The location is great, right at the edge of the mountain with amazing long range views to the sea, easy reach of Ballydehob with lots of music bars and restaurants, and Bantry with great market on Fridays. Even in winter, Catherine made sure I was warm in my own private little wooden house with extra duvets, blankets, heater and hot water bottle and made me feel very welcome when I got back from work in the evenings with offers of tea and toast and interesting chats in her beautiful kitchen. Unique place, recommended for deep relaxation, and truly getting away from the travails of modern life!
