We had a truly wonderful stay in this well maintained, charming cottage. Lydia and Martin are a lovely couple to deal with and were very quick to respond to any little query. We loved loved loved the decor of the cottage with its very personal touches and felt a real harking to the past and its original owners, we were truly charmed. We loved the views of the water. There are lots of hikes and walks near by. Sheeps Head is a amazing location and it's very central both geographically and culturally, and this helps towards making the most of your West Cork experience.
Beds are very comfortable with lovely duck down duvets and pillow and lovely woolen blankets.
We had a charming donkey neighbour, who was very well mannered and she was our wake up call some mornings (not too early, don't worry) which we have now recorded and use as our alarm call at home.
The house had all the facilities we needed.
It's cosy, but there is ample space, with clever hidden storage areas if needed. One person can chill reading a book in front of the fire, and in another room a person can watch a movie, both undisturbed.
We loved to spend the evenings, weather permitting(and we were lucky), sitting outside watching the sun set over the mountains across the bay.
We love West Cork and we'll be back to Martin and Lydia's home soon, but not soon enough.
