If you are looking for a very quiet relaxing place to get away from it all this is for you. Its located in the heart of the country side and is very peaceful.
Barbara hosted us well, brought us a bottle of wine over on the first night since we had such a long drive to get there which was great.
The location is well out of the way, if that's what you want this is for you, one of the roads up to the cottage (barn conversion) is poor, so take your time, but once you know which one to avoid its fine. The cottage is large and spacious with all mod-cons plus a nice bath and a sun room. A large fireplace if you want to light the fire, a gas range etc. A very large upstairs bedroom and a smaller down stairs one with 2 beds in it. There isn't really a view from the cottage but just sitting out the back in the peace in quiet was lovely. The near by village of Leap is worth seeing, I was disappointed with Skibbereen and Clonakilty but loved Kinsale and Bantry which are all around a 30 min drive.
All in all I would recommend Barbara's Cottage.
