We had a lovely family break at
Bluebell Cottage.This quaint cottage is right beside the town of Bantry, and it had everything we needed to make ourselves (family of five) feel comfortable. One dreary evening we lit the fire (Robert had kindly left out kindling and firewood) and played cards and board games around the fire. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and there are even Cookery Books on hand for inspiration. Bantry has plenty of Cafes and Restaurants .Organico Cafe is nearby and their coffee and baked goods are delicious. The Friday Farmers Market there is massive and we came away laden down with yummy local produce. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking, we hiked the Cooryoomane Loop, the children took a surf lesson at Barley Cove on the Mizen Head Peninsula and crossed the Suspension Bridge, and visited Foto Wildlife Park. A visit to Bantry House and Gardens is worthwhile for the view of the bay alone as was the drive out to sheep's head. The cottage was the perfect base for us and we would love to stay again in the future.
