The cottage is well situated in the heart of west Cork. It is a cosy little place with a comfortable sitting room and a nice wood burning stove, well equipped and quiet. Good blackout blinds in the second bedroom. We visited with two older children and while Catherine was kind enough to accommodate us, it might be better suited to smaller groups. We were glad to be able to bring our dog, though be aware of Catherine's advice that the garden is not secure. Once past the busy main road we enjoyed local walks to Ringarogy, up the hill towards Lough Hyne and further afield - the Butter Road from Schull to Ballydehob is a real gem. We had a birthday meal in Lissard and a visit to the Turrell Sky Garden there, really recommended.
