Jim & Ellen are perfect hosts - kind, thoughtful & charming. The Strand Awaits is as if new - spotlessly clean, comfortable & extremely well appointed with all you need for self catering. Great wifi, heating, parking & picnic table outdoors! Jim & Ellen are responsive & knowledgeable about the local area which is STUNNING. Beautiful places are within walking distance & a short drive away. Clonakilty is a pretty, clean & charming town with amazing SuperValu supermarket. Local beaches are gorgeous & the sea is as blue & clear as the Mediterranean. We booked to go back as soon as we left!
