This is a great house to use as a base for exploring Ireland. It overlooks the water and from most of the bedrooms the view is lovely. We were a large group so the house was ideal with 6 bedrooms and 7 very comfy double beds! All rooms had their own loo and shower so there were no waits for the bathroom. If coming by car you need to park a few hundred meters away (no big deal) as the road outside the house is residents permits etc. There is a fab train service during the day to Cork (and else where) but this closes at night. The train hugs the coast and is a fab journey and worth doing at a very reasonable price. The house itself was beautifully warm (it was January and cold outside) with plenty of hot water. Excellent wifi and cooking facilities (there are two kitchens but as we ate together we only used one!) I would say that if I were staying in the house more, I might want more relaxing seating, but over all a wonderful place to say :-) thanks!
