Catherine's place was very handy, only 13-15 mins to Mallow town with all the local amenities of shops, shopping stores and local restaurants. Cork city itself is about a 25 mins drive so you're not too far away!
The house itself is lovely. 3 bedrooms were more than enough for us and we found the addition of sky tv handy - especially for the kids when they eventually got tired of all the board games (a lovely touch I must say!). We stayed in peak winter so our experience was mostly darkness but I'm sure it's lovely in the summer as it has a lot of greenery around.
Catherine and Liz are quick to respond to any issue which we appreciated.
