We had a truly wonderful stay at Alison's house in Ballycroneen. The house is lovely--perfectly appointed and very comfortable, with gorgeous views of fields and the sea from every window. It was ideal for three adults and a baby. The location is extremely special, in a very peaceful region of East Cork, with few to no tourists. There's a wide range of things to do, including visiting Ballycotton and Shanagarry (with other more bustling towns less than an hour away, like Cork City, Kinsale, and Cobh), but we spent most of our time hiking in the cliffs, birdwatching, and exploring the nearby beaches and coves. We're already thinking about returning again next year. Very highly recommended.
