Beautiful house in a tranquil location and has everything you need for as break away. A car is a must for this location. Bandon is about 10 mins drive and has a good selection of shops for food supplies etc. The roads to the house are very narrow and windy in places and GPS signal would go in places so I think it took us longer to find the house some days than it should have. This didn't deter us and we ended up staying an extra night as the house was available. Helena was a joy to deal with. We had an issue with the toilet filling all night the first day and as soon as we told Helena it was sorted. I would definitely recommend this place as a base to explore Cork.
