We had a great long weekend in Bantry, taking in the chamber music festival and outdoor activities, and Catherine's apartment was at the centre of it all. Its location, facilities and condition were all we could have expected, and its charm and comfort were a bonus.
The central location means that on Friday and Saturday nights there was a certain amount of street noise - we were there at the height of the summer season - but no more than you should expect, and the bedroom was away from it all.
Catherine is a lovely host, unbelievably responsive and with loads of tips for the locality. We've been to Bantry many times, and this is the best accommodation arrangement we've had, by far.
