Joanne was a great host, very welcoming and made everything very easy for us. The house is very cosy but spacious at the same time (only 2 of us staying but could comfortably hold more). The kitchen, living room and dining table are laid out very well making it really nice to cook and have a relaxing night in. Also it's only a minute walk to any of the pubs if you do fancy heading out for a drink. It's 15 minute drive to Mizen head and 25 mins to Baltimore so everywhere is quite convenient to get to. One bit of advise - book a table at Joanne's restaurant in advance if you can; we left it too late and couldn't get a table. Overall we loved our stay at Joanne's and thoroughly recommend it for anyone looking at booking a trip to West Cork.
