We received a warm welcome from Jackie on our arrival at Shiplake. The location is beautiful. We found the garden really interesting and fun for our children to explore. The accommodation was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Liney and Jackie were both friendly and helpful. Shiplake is a good base from which to explore all of what West Cork has to offer. The local town of Dunmanway, just 5 kilometers away had a good variety of shops and people there were pleasant.
