My teenage daughter, our little dog and me had a really super week at Catherine's place. It is really conveniently located to explore surrounding areas of my favourite place in the world - West Cork. Skibbereen is about 7/8 minutes drive away and you can get everything you need there. We went for a couple of swims in the stunning Lough Hyne - Just 9 km away. We spent time in the beautiful village of Baltimore - just 3 km away - and did a day trip to Sherkin island from there - stunning place with beautiful beaches! We also visited Three Castle Head and Barley Cove - magical places around a hours drive from there. The weather was quite stormy some of the days and we really enjoyed cosying up beside the wee wood burning stove in the cottage and watching a movie - a great choice of dvds is there. The cottage is well supplied with all your basic needs and the kitchen perfect to cook whatever you wish.
Catherine was just the right level of helpful - she was there if we needed anything or questions answered; otherwise left us to get on with our holiday. We would gladly stay there again. Thank you Catherine :)
