We are a three generation family, ages ranging from 4 years to 75 and we have recently returned from a wonderful short holiday at Rose Cottage. It is a superb house in a stunning location overlooking Bantry Bay and a short distance from a lovely rocky beach.
The house is spotless and very well equipped with great attention to detail. It is spacious, light and airy, with a high spec kitchen and bathroom and a separate wetroom. It is an architectural gem both inside and out, with a very clever mix of modern and traditional. The house is extremely comfortable and warm, with very effective central heating and two woodburning stoves (which we didn't need to light even though it was November).
There is an extensive library of books and maps and also children's books games and toys.
We had 3 full days there and we visited Glengarriff Nature Reserve where we had several walks, also the local beach and Allihies (lovely beach) and Eyeries a really quaint village.
Kevin was an excellent host, responding immediately to any queries. He provided much useful information about the house and also detailed instructions on how to get there, which we managed quite easily (in the dark!)
We must also mention Breda who was always on hand, and gave us lots of advice on where to visit and the local restaurants.
There are so many places to visit and things to do and Rose Cottage is the perfect base to explore the Beara Peninsula.
We couldn't have asked for more with regard to our host, the accommodation, and the area.
