Union Hall is a great spot for exploring West Cork, it's a nice small village with a well stocked Centra, and a local pub that serves food. Glandore, across the harbour was our favourite place to eat out, a few minutes drive and you need to book. The cottage was as described, it's basic but comfortable and clean, all you need really if you prefer accommodation that is traditional and private compared to hotels or holiday resort type. Our host called in the day we arrived and was very welcoming, she even offered use of her clothes dryer if we needed it, we didn't, luckily the sun shone! A small pier and small beach is 1 minute walk from the front door. We would recommend the cottage for a holiday, and if we go back to West Cork it would definitely be on our list of places to stay again.
