Fantastic location right on the shore of Lough Hyne (Ine, Loughine), a sea lough connected to the open ocean by a narrow passage. We had the use of firewood, a rowing boat and good WiFi. The WiFi was especially useful as there was no mobile signal at the house.
We had a minor hiccup at check-in, which was my fault, but a phone call to Tom sorted us out straight away.
Swimming in Lough Hyne was great, but we also had a couple of ferry trips to Sherkin Island and Heir Island, where you can swim on beautiful beaches.
Locally, we walked to Barloge Pier and climbed to the top of Knockomagh (600ft climb) which gave fantastic views of the coast. Baltimore is 3 km away and has good restaurants (Caseys, Rolf's and The Waterfront Hotel), plus the ferries to Sherkin Island and Cape Clear Island.
