Mary is a wonderful down to earth person. She helped me get a spur of the moment hair appointment. Her home is 100 feet from her town. Cork is 15/20 minutes.
Breakfast is cold cereals with tea and coffee in the guests common nice sitting room downstairs. Sitting room also has a microwave, fridge, and TV.
She offers up kitchen for cooking and sink in bedroom nice.
Cleanliness not great for who does cleaning. Towels were a bit thin and had some staining. I can be ok with that but they had a damp musty smell. The duvet cover appeared to have not been changed as had another person's smell but bed was very comfortable. There was only a half roll of toilet paper in bathroom so used paper towels until it could get serviced the next afternoon.
The host is good and kind.
I chose this location as while it's a bit out of the way from Cork, I didn't want to be in the big city crowd.
