This is a wonderful cottage. The exterior is beautifully restored, the interior is modern and has everything you need for you stay. Scones and honey on available were a nice treat, thank you. Hi-viz jackets were also available for walking - which was another lovely idea. While it is close to the main Cork - Waterford road, it is tranquil, peaceful and set in a quiet location - perfect for a quiet break or to explore the east Cork / west Waterford area. Suitable for couples, families or a couple of friends. Ideal also as a writers retreat or to finish any work project needing solitude. There are lots of books of varied interests, dvds and I noticed a hi-chair and cot (which I would have looked for a few years ago - old habits!). The interior is wonderfully decorated. Sheila and Pat are lovely and the honey from their own hives is gorgeous - a 'must buy'. There are gift shops, art & craft shops, art studios and a pet farm all within a short drive. My brother and I had a great few days relaxing at the house (lovely bench and chairs outside) and exploring the local area. We are already looking forward to our return to Rose cottage. This was a 'great find'!
