The White House was the perfect country retreat! It was cozy, well thought-out and fully equipped for holidaying in rural Ireland. It was tasteful, comfy and we felt right at home.

The hosts were very generous - there was wine, coffee, bread and butter waiting on our arrival. Wood was supplied for the fire in the living room and the central heating was efficient and easy to use. The beds were comfortable, warm - and there was plenty of room for a for a family/friends group to stay and not feel on top of one another.

The kitchen is equipped with whatever you'd need really - we did cook in the house and enjoyed doing so.

Loads of information was given on the surrounding area, things to do, directions etc. Pat was very attentive and easy to communicate with.

We had a fab time exploring West Cork - you do need a car - but that's to be expected anywhere in Ireland really, at least outside of the cities. Plenty of great pubs and good food available, there's even a whole-food shop in Ballydehob village!

We were very happy with our stay and would be happy to recommend The White House.
