This was the first time we stayed in a real Irish Cottage with the thick stone walls, slate roof, and and fireplace. The bedrooms were wonderful. One of them had its own deck right off the second floor. This Cottage was built into the hill that surrounds the town of Bantry. The Ambiance was just so Charming. We used the writing desk to plan our trips every day. Perfect light to read maps by. Just a short walk to the Quay with its shops pubs and restaurants. We hope we will be able to stay there again on our next trip to southern Ireland.
