Mary welcomed my family and I with freshly baked scones, and many essentials such as milk in the fridge which was very much appreciated after a 4 hour drive. She is an excellent ambassador for Ireland’s traditional and well known friendliness. The house is very well equipped and clean, the kitchen has everything you will need and the view is spectacular from every window.
The village of Castletownbere is a short drive away and has a great SuperValu amongst others. I would recommend Bremen’s Lobster Bar in the main square for dining out too, the service was friendly and the food was amazing! The beach at Allihies is stunning and only 20-30 mins drive away. Ireland’s only cable car to Dursey Island is a further 30mins but worth a visit if you like hiking. I would also highly recommend a visit to Garinish Island which has stunning gardens, walks and a nice coffee shop too. Overall, a great time was had by all!
Thank you Mary and Cork for representing Ireland so well.
