Pearce's place was really perfect for our Christmas week in Cork. Quiet and well situated. We even lit the fireplace on Christmas day and just hung out and stayed dry on that rainy day. There is a perfectly lovely pub called Flannery's just a 7 minute walk away. Couldn't find any streaming services on their TV, but we just plugged the HDMI cable into our laptop and used our pwn streaming services. Make sure you turn on the water pressure in their shower using the switch in the cabinet. It took us a couple days to figure that out. Also don't park too near the curb in front of their house where there is a huge dip at the grate or you'll get a flat! The neighbors were all so nice as they stopped by and expressed their concern and tried to help as we put on the spare!
