Brenda and Edward are amazing hosts. We adored everything about an Teach Beag. We stayed here for two nights with our 4 year old daughter. Brenda messaged in advance asking what age she was. When we arrived there were so many toys for a child her age. She was absolutely thrilled. The toys are actually all wooden and really good qualiity too. Not only that but she had left some little treats for her too. So lovely. It was just after Halloween and there were some decoarations and a pumpkin which again our daughter loved. The cottage itself is really well equipped. There is a two hob electric burner if you did want to cook. Brenda had left 6 eggs from their hens so we did soft boiled eggs both mornings. Another lovely touch. There is a microwave and an air fryer also if you did need them. The main bed is incredibly comfortable. The bathroom is completely modern and the shower itself is really nice. You do sometimes miss pressure but not here, the water pressure was perfect. Onto the decking ... my favourite area. Firstly, plenty of space. We nipped down to the boat yard night one and got fish and chips and ate them on the deck outside. (You need to visit here. It's a very cool setup) We lit the stove and stayed out there comfortably until we went to bed around 11pm. It was November! There is a horse and sheep just behind you and you can see their chickens to the left so you really feel you are right in the middle of nature. It rained pretty heavily but we were covered in and the sound fo the rain splashing on the roof while we were sitting beside the stove was so lovely. But while seeming like you are just surounded by nature, you have all you need within a 1 minute drive where there are 3 large supermarkets. It is literally the perfect balance. We visit Cork a lot and we will 100 percent be staying here again
