Really enjoyable stay here for 3 nights in September. Location is a little off the beaten track, but that’s part of the attraction. That said, it’s still only a 20min walk or 5min drive to Courtmacsherry! Wonderful views of the beach from the front of the house, and easy access to it along private laneway. Dolores is an excellent, friendly host who responded promptly to any questions we had. Lovely scones on arrival too!
House is bright and spacious. Retains farmhouse charm but benefits from updated kitchen and bathrooms. Superb water pressure in showers I used as well! Was originally worried about the lack of a TV, but actually turned into a positive. Led to actual conversations and reading of books!! Wi-Fi was also very good so no trouble accessing Netflix/YouTube for kids and adults if you have a tablet.
Worth paying a visit to the excellent SuperValu in Clonakilty for supplies along the way. If you’re stuck, there’s a big Eurospar in Barryroe around 4kms away that’ll have anything you need. We had great meals in Lifeboat Inn and Inchydoney Hotel (30mins) during trip. Would recommend both. West Cork Model Railway Village in Clonakilty was a hit with all 3 generations of us on the trip.
Overall, great house and host. Would highly recommend and will certainly be returning myself in future.
