This apartment is a sanctuary that looks out on a private oasis of green fields and towering trees. I especially loved the wooden swing seat in the backyard to enjoy the wide open space and watch the clouds scudding across the sky. And the bed is super comfortable! The birds twitter each morning, there’s lots of light, and the heating works well in winter. I work from ‘home’ and the desk was great for a stand-up computer desk provided you don’t need room for too much else. The location is a little more secluded than I anticipated but I loved the quiet, and if you have a car you’re free to roam. Walking on the roads around about wasn’t so peaceful as the cars go quite fast and the roads are narrow, and mostly little road verge to retreat to. However, the 10-min walk downhill to the Lodge Bar at Myrtleville and local store, and 10-min walk up to the bus to Cork were all easy, and Tesco home delivery made shopping a cinch.
