Having not read one negative review prior to booking a stay at Rosie’s cottage I honestly thought it would be too good to be true. I was wrong. Rosie and Mike greeted myself and my boyfriend at my car and walked us to the cottage with an umbrella at hand and showed us around the cottage. Rosie left us freshly made brown bread, butter, marmalade and even bought us milk as she knew we were students ! Mike ensured that we always had enough logs and sticks for the log fire which was one of my favorite features in the cottage. It was raining a lot while we stayed down there (middle of January) but that didn’t stop us going for a walk on the amazing long strand and climbing some cliffs at sandscove where we saw seals on the shore! We also stopped at various fields where we watched some cows roaming. Our last night there Rosie and Mike invited us over to their own cottage across the road for an Irish coffee which was super tasty. We drank it while enjoying amazing stories from the sweet and also very funny couple. They offered to bring us to Clonakilty to see trad music in the ‘Teach Beag’ pub but we were tired and postponed our plans to listen to trad music untill our next trip down to Rosie’s cottage which we are currently planning for March! This cottage is the perfect place to go if you want to enjoy nature or just relax in a beautiful cosy place with no noise. There’s also no light pollution in the area and so the stars at night are breathtaking.
