We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in David and Jane's house. They both met us at the house to show us around when we arrived, which we felt was a lovely personal touch.
The house is beautifully decorated (it's even nicer than the pictures) and it's very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Theres plenty of space and the beds were very comfortable. The view from the decking is stunning and was such a pleasure to wake up to every day. It was a bit chilly to sit out when we were there (April) but I can imagine during the summer, guests spending a lot of time on the decking.
Clonakilty is only 10-12 minutes drive away and is a lovely place with plenty of shops, cafes and a lovely cinema. We loved Coughlans bookstore (books, games, crafts, jigsaws) and the 'Cafe on the Lane' (a little vintage cafe tucked away on Spillers Lane, with delicious sandwiches and cakes).
We would also highly recommend Inchadoney beach (18 minutes drive), the VIP tour at Fota Wildlife Park (needs to be pre-booked a good bit in advance) and whale watching with Cork Whale Watch - Colin Barnes (we were lucky enough to see loads of dolphins, minke whales and humpback whales).
This house is a real 'home from home' and we all looked forward to coming 'home' after a days adventures. We would definitely stay here again.
