Cahersiveen surprised me in a positive way. The village has a very good restaurant (QC) and superb bistro (la petite delice) where you can buy really good baguettes as well. You can also rent a bike locally (16/day). You can start walking from the house, no need to use the car. The house has all you need. I liked the paintings and books. Very good wifi, but due to the thick walls not everywhere in the house available. Brian can be reached easily and always replied very fast.
