The Blacksmiths cottage is a lovely cosy home from home. My husband, parents and 12 month old stayed there for 3 nights and it was a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage has everything you need and more, John and Emily leave lovely touches to make it more homely and comfortable. Emily was so helpful and very communicative reaching out before our stay to see if we needed a travel cot, high chair etc. The gardens were wonderful for kids and there were toys and hens that my boy had hours of fun with. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice place to stay while exploring Cork or Waterford.
