Wonderful stay in Jerome's cozy cottage. Jerome was easy to communicate with. He answered our questions quickly. Our stay from booking to check out was an excellent experience. This cottage is a true gem. Bonus was the warm reception - literally - the fire was lit and the cottage was cozy upon arrival with a bottle of wine and chocolate. Jerome's place is a true gem and a real steal. Book now if it's available. Its about a 10 minute drive from the cottage into Bantry city center. We loved the rural feel and view. The drive to town was easy. The cottage is in the perfect location to explore the Mizen Head, Beara peninsula, and Sheep's Head Way, and Kilkenny National Park. All are much less tourist filled than the Ring of Kerry and easily as spectacular. The kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed to cook for our family of 5. There is a microwave, and a kettle in addition to the 4 top stove and oven. Jerome and his dad (who lives next door) were happy to answer questions and assist in any way to make our stay enjoyable. If we ever have the good fortune to visit Ireland again we will stay at Tig Micheal Ban. Thanks Jerome!
