Wouldn't I love this place and the whole West Cork, I wouldn't have come back for the fifth time in the region and the fourth time in Pat's and Fiona's house. It has probably some imperfections, but which house doesn't?, and it belongs to its charms. Moreover Pat is incredibly reactive, he always tries to make people feel confortable in his house. He loves the region and its inhabitants. Though having come here so often, we continue to discover new places. Sometimes little harbours, sometimes surprising spots at the end of one of the numerous local roads. There is more than only the Mizen Head and Skull in this area. Both are of course lovely places worth to be seen, but this time I added new discoveries like Three Castles Head, Goat's Path and the north side of Sheap's Head, Bantry House, which I all loved. But also Garinish Island, beautiful Rossbarbery, good spots for food and drink in Balydehob, the lovely farmers market in Skibbereen, Colla Pier etc. etc. I was lucky with the weather, but shouldn't the weather be that fine, the house and its surroundings offer enough inside and outside activities, including games, a warm fire, a good choice of pans and plates, enough to welcome eight people. Take your time to discover all what the house has to offer, most of the things are available in one of the numerous drawers and cupboards. The garden is huge and safe, and is ideal for young children to play. Very few cars are passing by, maybe one every hour. So you may imagine how quite it is. Well depending on the amount of children you bring with you :)
