Diarmuid's and Helen's self contained apartment is homely, super quiet, very clean and bright. The whole yard and area around the house is spotless. They are on top of a hill with a tremendous view. We woke up to a a sunny morning with a gorgeous breeze and birds singing. The wi-fi is excellent even though they are way out in the countryside. Helen, very kindly, had a sweet surprise for us with baked scones...which were delicious! What else? A lovely welcome from the whole family, including their sweet, shy but curious children. We also had the delight of fresh farm eggs for breakfast from D&H's hens along with complimentary tea and milk in the self catering apartment. All the the appliances worked perfect, with a TV if you cared for it... but who needs a TV? we're in glorious West Cork, yippee! The shower was hot with good pressure. The apartment is self is sunny and bright... perfect really to put you in a holiday frame of mind. Best of all was the kind hellos and helpful advise on the area from both Helen and Diarmuid along with their children, all lovely hosts that remind you what an irish welcome is.
