Staying at Bernie & Steve’s was a real treat. Their hospitality was outstanding! The location was ideal for us as their home is nestled in the countryside (but still only a short drive from Skibbereen town). They were thoughtful in advance, providing recommendations for restaurants that require booking and gave us detailed written suggestions of places of interest to visit when we arrived. The king size room was perfect with a comfy bed and modern en-suite. We particularly loved the interesting books and art around the house. Even their dog Murph provided a warm welcome and they were always available to answer our questions. It was great chatting to them over tea (and Bernie’s delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake) as they are really interesting, thoughtful people. And the ultimate treat was eating a full breakfast in the morning sunshine in their pretty garden. Bernie even makes the granola from scratch. You have to try it - the shop bought stuff will never suffice after a bowl of Bernie’s granola! Overall it was a lovely, memorable experience which helped make a great trip to Cork. We are big fans of Bernie & Steve’s and hope to return to see even more of beautiful West Cork soon. Don’t hesitate - book with Bernie & Steve!
