I wish we could give Elizabeth and the cottage 8 stars! We are so in love with this little cottage. It's so quaint and cozy and completely lovely - it's the epitome of an Irish country/seaside getaway. The cottage is small but easily fits two bedrooms plus two large beds in the loft. We would have slept up there if we thought it would be safe for our kids to be going up and down alone - alas, they're little and safety prevailed. We did all go up there to hang out though because the view out the window is amazing.
The kitchen is completely full and Elizabeth's caretaker left the fridge with juice and milk and biscuits. We explored Bandon (farmers' market Saturday AM) as well as Kinsale from the cottage and enjoyed cooking for ourselves and the peaceful getaway that it is. The first night we arrived late and walked up the hill to the Pink Elephant. They were lovely and the food was delicious. The view is unreal, especially at sunset.
