My boyfriend and I stayed in Rosie's place with another couple who are friends of ours. We had an absolutely fantastic stay!
Rosie is a fabulous hostess! She ensured to keep in contact in the weeks prior to arrival, provided directions before we asked, was spot on in her ETA, and didn't miss anything when showing us around the space.
She greeted us with homemade bread and marmalade (both were excellent!). There is a wonderful little information pack for those who are new to the area. The photographs do not do the cozy factor any justice, is much lovelier in reality!
As it is a converted barn it is quite pokey, but absolutely gorgeous, homely and rustic. Might not suit everybody's preferences but it certainly exceeded ours!
On a practical note, just to take into consideration when buying food, there is no freezer. There is plenty of good pans/utensils etc for cooking. No dishwasher as far as I can remember but plenty of space and water to handwash.
It is written in Rosie's description that the beds are a little on the short side, but unless you are above average height then this shouldn't be a problem. We didn't have any issues sleeping anyways!
Rosie and her husband popped the heads round if we were on the porch in the morning to check everything was OK, and we had brilliant craic chatting with them before we left!
The space is about a 15/20 min taxi/drive from Clonakilty and relatively short drive away from some wonderful spots out West Cork. We spend a full day driving in the vicinity. All in all, if your looking for a quiet, cozy and rustic abode in a fantastic location, this is it!
