Such a fun place to stay. The smell of of the pod was lovely, like being nestled in a cedar chest. Note that it is the country, so manure smells sometimes fill the air, but we were used to this after staying in my husband's family cottage in rural County Clare. It's part of country life in Ireland. The pod though had the magical quality of deodorizing the air. The nearby town of Macroom is charming with a lot of coffee and dining options for a town of its size. On the day we left there was even a farmer's market setting up. We explored Cork and Mizen Head during this part of our journey.
