This is a very nice place just on top of a beautiful little bay with view into the Atlantic ocean. A little kitchen and sitting area below, the bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. Clean and nice. Our host left us a plate of huge fresh scones and butter which was very nice after a long day of driving. There is a friendly horse next door that likes to be fed with apples that we picked from under the tree beside the house, and the Irish automatic grass mowers (A.K.A cows) were either quiet or mooed the other direction 'cause all we heard was the waves from the bay and the birds and seagulls.
Cork is about an easy hour drive away, plenty of interesting restaurants nearby. We used the place as a base to drive around in the area but it could also serve as a nice quiet place to get away from everything and enjoy the seashore and green hills.
I assume when a storm roles in from the Atlantic it can be dramatic, probably waves crushing into the cliffs across the bay, but we had two sunny days with no rain and hardly any wind at all, dead calm sea like I didn't even know the Atlantic can be. I wish my camera could capture the beauty of a full moon over that bay - seeing it from the window at night was breathtaking, but it just wasn't built for night. Did take a whole lot of daytime pictures. It is a type of house and scenery that you think of in connection of a romantic getaway, or someone wishing to have some solitude to write or meditate, though in summer, a family with kids could also enjoy it much.
Una our host was very easy to communicate with and though the place is way off the main roads, it is actually very easy to find with the directions we got. The place is best suited for a family of 4-5, but could also accommodate two couples with several young children.
