I cannot speak highly enough of this holiday home in Baltimore. The house was fantastic. It has everything you'd need and more, its very stylish and comfortable. Loads of space. This house has the best view in Baltimore, without a doubt, you could sit outside for hours and watch the kids playing and have a wee glass of wine!. The two kids were very safe there. There is a little football pitch right out the front, along with tennis courts just over.
Baltimore itself is fabulous. Caseys hotel is right beside the holiday home, we didn't eat there this time but have been there before and it is great. Rolfs restaurant is about a 10 minute walk away, equally as nice.
About a 5 minute walk will have you down at the harbour where you can get a boat to Sherkin (so worth it, bring a packed lunch on a nice day and go over to Cow Beach at the other side of the island) and then Cape Clear island is a bit further. We didn't do that this time, felt the kids were a bit young, but next time!! The swimming pool in Baltimore is great for wet days with the kids, newly renovated, spotless.
Of course then down at the peer there are some nice bars etc, sitting out in the sunshine is heaven, we took the kids for pizza, (La Jolie Brise), very tasty, they do takeaways too. Had a lovely walk out to the Beacon, then climbed the hill by Lough Hyne, went into Skibbereen another day, down to Mizen Head. Baltimore really is a great base for touring around that area.
I would definitely recommend Simons place.
