Olive & Billys place is perfect for short getaway by the sea. The place is simple to find using the Eircode with Google Maps, is about 19minutes from Ballycotton Village (Shop, bars, restaurants & hotel), 12minutes to Garryvoe where you'll find a local shop & fantastic Hotel.
Olive was super helpful with her directions and very sweet in her messages. Billie showed us the house and was able to give us hints about the cliff walks, locations, weather & much more if quizzed. You may also be greeted by a dog & a cat if you are lucky!
The house is located on a small farm with plenty of space for parking. It is facing the sea which is gorgeous to wake-up to and has a lovely patio to sit out. The interior was super clean, perfect for 2 people - Reclining armchairs, eating table, cooking facilities, fireplace (wood left for us), big TV. There is a large bathroom and a big cozy double bed (w/electric blanket)! There is a small room of the double room which can be used for luggage if required.
One of the nicest touches was the allotment of food and drinks left out for us - ham, cheese, bread, milk, tea, yogurts, cereal bars, fruit, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, mochas & lattes... Incredible! We didn't have to eat out because we had everything we needed. We also had packed lunches for the cliff walks the next day!
Another nice touch was the fitting Christmas decorations that had been placed around the fireplace to hint at the festive season. This came to the for when my partner and I shared gifts by the fire - We felt the magic!!
I really recommend this little spotless gem for anyone who wishes to see a little bit of the East of Cork at their own pace. Truly perfect for our needs!
