Kate's lovingly restored and maintained cottage was a wonderful base for our 3 days exploring West Cork. We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and the ability to have leisurely breakfast at the cottage, including enjoying the homemade bread and jam Kate left for us (along with butter and milk). The bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure and plentiful hot water. Kate was an incredible host - very responsive, full of really great suggestions re food and routes to explore the countryside - it was great to meet her, her family (including their cat and dog) during our visit. Overall, our stay was a great value and memorable.
