Hester was a very welcoming and lovely host, as were Smokey and Olly the dogs.
The cottage is so idyllic I don't think I have the words to sum it up accurately. The cosyness of the cottage is amplified by the stove (which was already ready to be fired on arrival!). The location is very peaceful and quiet and a great base for travelling around West Cork, or sitting around reading on a rainy day. Couldn't recommend it more and can't wait to go back someday.
