Claire and Collin's small chalet was the perfect getaway. Originally, I booked in for only 4 nights, but decided to stay one more - super comfortable and the location is wonderful. Perched on a hill with view of both the Long Strand beach and Castlefreke woodlands and lake, you'll be only a few minutes walk to either. Not much further is Galley Head, with panoramic cliff views. It's close enough to Clonakilty and other towns or villages, should you need to stock up on anything.
Super quiet and peaceful; there's a skylight over the bed from where you can see the stars on a clear night. The kitchenette was just enough for what one usually needs during a short break; I wanted for nothing. Claire and Collin also provide some basics to get you going: milk, eggs, butter, bread, oil... a few biscuits, honey, and chocolate to boot. The hot water was plentiful and the shower has good pressure as well.
Overall, one of the best value Airbnb's I've stayed in and I hope to return. (If only to indulge in another sound healing session with Claire - highly recommended, if you have the chance.)
