We had a fantastic week staying at Sancta Maria. The cottage is absolutely charming, full of character and very comfortable. The gardens are magical - alive with butterflies and full of colour. The location couldn't be better - 50 yards from a beach and pier where you can swim, pier jump, go crab fishing and seal spot !! Absolute heaven for kids. Also within five minutes walk to a lovely pub, The Dock Wall, which serves outstanding food. Union Hall itself is unbelievably picturesque and is brilliantly located for exploring West Cork, lots of places within easy reach - Skibbereen, Bantry, Baltimore, Clonakilty, Roscarbery (to name but a few) are all within 30ish minutes drive away. Aileen & Paul were excellent hosts & we certainly intend on returning to this wonderful cottage given half a chance !
