I'm just back from a wonderful long weekend with my husband and 5 and 3 year old staying in Joanne's gorgeous house in Ballydehob. The place is decorated so nicely, and it's only a 2 minute walk into the village where there's some nice pubs and restaurants. It was so nice to relax by fire in the evening after a long active day of exploring the area, and Joanne had the fire set up for us so we could quickly light it and get cosy! Lovely touch. There was also some board games to keep the kids occupied and a well curated book collection! Highly enjoyable holiday - Barley Cove, Mizen Head, Sherkin Island and Garnish Island were highlights.
