Marion is a great host! Communication was seamless and very quick. On arrival Marion had left essentials like bread, milk, fruit and yogurt to keep us going. The flat is above her pub, unfortunately it wasn’t open due to Covid. The place was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to cook and relax. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and there was even a cupboard of toys which my 2 yr old really appreciated. The decor is a bit out of date but this really doesn’t matter. We stayed for 2 weeks and it really felt like home. Ballinagree is about 10kms from Macroom which has everything you need re: supermarket, cafes, pharmacy etc. It’s also about an hr from touristy places like Kenmare, Killarney, Union Hall, Skibbereen etc. I definitely recommend it
