This place is just great, beautiful and veeery peaceful. I was staying there for three weeks and was really sad the day I had to leave. As I don't drive, I got there by bus (it is a very nice trip from Cork) and rent a bike in Schull.
There are beautiful and scenic cycling and walking tours that I enjoyed a lot. To buy food or other things, I could join Hannes to Schull or Skibbereen by car. He also picked me up/dropped me off from/to Goleen or Schull (also with my bike). There are a lot of things you can do, even without a car. Hannes and his family were very helpful. They're really lovely and caring people.
There is a lot of space around the chalet, where I could read or just relax in a wonderful and quiet scenery. If it was rainy, I ran a little fire and read or watched tv on the sofa in the chalet.
This was the most relaxing holiday I've ever been on. I'll get back as soon as possible, because I totally fell in love with this place, the house, the garden, Hannes and his family, and their lovely and gorgeous dog Easter. I do recommend this place to everybody, I'm sure you will love it and you will have a great and relaxing time there!
