We stayed in Rita's house for a weekend, which is certainly not enough to fully enjoy the place and the neighborhood. The views are breathtaking, the house is very cozy and spacious, it is ideal for a quiet rest outside of city. Ahakista is a lovely small village with a good local pub, Sheep's Head is a short drive away, and fantastic Mizen's Head is about 40 minutes away by car. Rita and Neil met us upon arrival, showed the house and recommended the local attractions. They were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend the house and would visit it again in future with pleasure.
