We had a "brilliant" beginning to our trip with this cottage and the adjoining one for our 4 couples. Extra care was given with directions, and the fruit, bread, and eggs - and great coffee makers - were just the beginning. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, comfortable rooms, well equipped kitchen, the patio (oh, the views, the sunsets, moon rises, the far fields, etc, etc). Outside, the walks in any and all directions, the beaches, and the ever so wonderful neighbors we met on our walks. And once we got the hang of it, the proximity to drive to other sights in Cork were quite easy to find. Maria's description was spot on accurate. We are happy to recommend to others.
