Mary’s place is a wonderful experience if you want to experience the countryside life in Cork county. It is set in an idyllic, pastoral space and we really enjoyed the open spaces outside and within the unit. Mary is an amazingly responsive and helpful host. She left us the makings for a very nice breakfast, which was welcome indeed, given that we arrived after a long drive, late night.
The place is clean and well maintained, the rooms are spacious. You have an outdoor space with a table to enjoy meals, with a working farm on the land. Mary helped us when we ran out of milk and personified Irish friendliness and hospitality. It’s just 5-6 mins in to Skibereen which is a little town/village nearby for groceries and anything you need. You can get to other picturesque little towns within 15-30 mins from here. So it make a good base to wander from.
All in all, this is a lovely find if you’re looking for an out-in-
the-country experience and you can’t find a livelier host than Mary!
