Cassidys Cottage is really comfortable and very well designed - lovely! Joanne was welcoming and very helpful; also generous with the milk, butter cheese and other essentials in the kitchen - thank you! She also helped with local information, which is very useful. Ballydehob is a really nice little village but also ideally situated to explore the south west corner of Ireland. Probably not the best place for young children - who need a lot of entertaining, but such a range of things for 'grownups' - gorgeous scenery, beautiful flowers everywhere (thanks to a fair amount of rain!), good restaurants and pubs, very friendly people, heaps of history... you do need a car though! Easy driving, and hardly anywhere charges for parking!!! I would also recommend Joanne's restaurant - delicious Thai-based food, freshly cooked in comfy/quirky place.
