Claire was great even before we arrived, providing quick responses to inquiries and detailed directions to arriving at her secluded, beautiful chalet. Though Claire was out of town when we first arrived, she had left a note, some bread, butter, fresh jam and chocolate for us so we could (and did!) enjoy breakfast/lunch in the serene surroundings. Her two cats were incredibly friendly and the view from the place is just breathtaking. All the amenities you could wish for--including great wifi to help search for local activities and restaurants--were included and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place is close to the beach (walking distance--15 minutes through the dunes, or shorter if you would like to surf), within 15-20 minutes from Rosscarbery and Clonakilty for excursions during the day and Claire has a wealth of information about local restaurants, places to go, things to see, etc. We met her husband Colin who checked to make sure everything was going well. It was an incredible stay and I would recommend it to anyone traveling in this part of Ireland!
