This is a beautiful stone cottage with thick white washed walls Kitchen is a big family area conducive to good long meals. There are multiple sofa areas to 'getaway' to read or have a quiet moment. The garden is large I did my Tai Chi listening to the river,birdsong and honey bees buzzing. The area is really beautiful with many places to visit eg Mizen Head,Baltimore and Schull. John tells me that the lack of a shower is part of the charm of an old cottage but we still missed it. I can recommend this stay whole-heartedly..Cathy
