I've given the host a full review of our stay so I'll try to keep this short. We received a 5 star open fire welcome from Michael. A couple of bottles of wine is a nice touch. A full tour of the house would have been welcomed including the upstairs. As relayed to the host, a deep clean and declutter is required. I did suggest items that are essential to keeping the house clean during your stay. The house itself is very dated, obviously it is old but alot could be done to improve this. The best room in the house is the kitchen/dining. With the addition of some extra large cooking pots (it does sleep 8 person) this area would be fine. I was surprised to see a big wet room downstairs with toilet and sink. Unfortunately whoever hung the shower curtain decided to reduce your standing space by half with the result that the plastic curtain stick's to your body when your trying to shower. A terrible waste. A large shower over bath upstairs had no water. One bed had a broken base which the mattress slips into. Overall alot of improvement required indoors. Nice garden with a covered table and chairs. pretty flowers. On street parking only which can be a challenge, website stated of street parking,I think?? Location for touring Cork is good, whether you go east or west. The village is tiny. Has a good Centra. One pub has takeaway that only opens at the weekend and this was end of June. Second pub has bar food but the menu looked poor. Seems that the restaurant nextdoor is good but never got to try it as it was always booked up. Doesn't open on Monday or Tuesday if I recall right. Overall the house was not worth the €1197 that our family paid (8 person's). Originally booked for 3 person's at €720, still expensive. Thankfully met eireann got the forecast wrong🌞🌞🌞🌞
