A cosy clean and tidy cottage with a delightful apple pie waiting for you on arrival - sorry Jenny setting expectations for future visitors ;-).
We found the location ideal as a base for day trips - we ventured to Mizen Head in the south to locations south east of Clonakilty. Beautiful coastline with beaches that just cry out to be walked on or explored - my family really enjoyed discovering wave cut caves in the slate coast line.
We took our bicycles with us - I would not advise doing so. No need really but also that the area is just not geared for casual family cycling.
