What a beautiful place to stay - on top of a hill overlooking the Bay, the views from the cottage are amazing. Rose Cottage is really clean and so tastefully renovated it looks like something out of Elle Decoration and yet it is very comfortable, warm and well equipped for a visit (lots of guide books and maps for planning walks and day trips). Although we didn't take our kids it would have been great for children too - there is a TV den in the centre of the house with DVDs and kites/fishing nets for rock pooling. Breda and Kevin were really helpful - especially with advice on good places to eat and drink (the Fish Kitchen in Bantry was amazing - best oysters I have ever eaten). We went on a particularly stormy weekend but managed to go on lots of walks (around the cottage and Healy Pass), swim in Glanmore Lake, day trips to Bantry (which has a good market and restaurants) and Kenmare. We discovered the Blue Loo pub in Glengariff which has an open fire and great Guinness. I wish we had been able to stay for longer, I would definately recommend Rose Cottage (beautiful location, great hosts and wonderful house) and would like to visit again in the summer to explore more of the beaches and swim in the sea - it would be a great place for a cycling holiday. It is also very easy to get to from London - flying from City airport to Cork and then just a short drive (an hour and a half) to Adrigole. Well worth a visit!
