Our brief stay (just 1 night) at Carmel's was excellent.
The house is located in the residential part of Carrigaline, very quiet, just 15 minutes by car from Cork city centre and 15 minutes from Kinsale.
The building, a large country cottage, is astonishing: it's interiors are wonderful, mainly wood-made, well furnished, tidy and cosy. Carmel made we feel like home and give us complete access to the kitchen (so we could cook and make breakfast by ourselves) and to a private living room. It was like living in a manor!
The room was awesome: spacious, clean, with a private ensuite and a comfortable double bed.
Carmel is a kind and helpful host, easy to communicate with, discrete but ready to help us when we asked indications. We shared a cup of tea and discussed nicely with her.
Truly recommended!
