I will not be able to write a review that will do justice to this spectacular place. If you don't like being off the grid, then stop reading! There is no signal or wifi in the house, we wandered about in the garden for a signal. Absolute bliss knowing we can't be contacted or tempted to use the internet. Reading, walking, exploring, hiking, eating, drinking wine or a pint, this is the place. The house is just beautiful. Big huge shower with tons of hot water, fully equipped kitchen, lovely cosy sitting room with open fire, huge double bed, three more beds upstairs (which we didn't use). Ample room for a family or a bunch of friends for a get together. That's the boring stuff!! The views are beyond belief. The setting is spectacular. You are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. We strolled down to the sea most days and were able to get quite close. The waves crashing against the rocks is a sight to behold. I spend a couple of hours reading whilst sitting on the rocks. Not alone did we have the ocean on our doorstep... we also had a magnificent hike over the hills to Three Castle Head, incredibly historic and stunningly beautiful. The house is located a couple of KMS from Goleen (about 20 min drive). Goleen has a fantastic restaurant (Herons Cove) but you need to book. There is also a fish and chip take away and a bar serving food (The Fastnet). The last 5 minutes of the drive is a bit tricky with narrow roads but very doable. Barley Cove and it's stunning beach and Mizen Head are pretty close. We walked from our accommodation to Mizen Head and Barley Cove but it's not for the faint hearted. I didn't get to talk to Yvonne (our hostesss) much but I know there is a very interesting story to her life and would love to have spent some time with a glass of wine chatting to her. That said, I can't imagine not being back here. This is truly a spectacular and beautiful place to stay, you will not regret it, book it now!!!
