Stayed at The Old Creamery Apartment 1924 for 7 nights, travelling as a family of four.
This gem of an apartment has just the right balance of everything you need to make your stay as memorable as the location itself. It is located in a very quiet area and is very well-equipped, well-kept, clean and cosy. Its central location in the West Cork area made it the perfect base of operations for our daily family outings both to the surrounding zone and even further afield. If that were not enough, the apartment also has its own immaculately kept private garden looking out onto the lake which is available for guests to use during their stay. We had breakfast out there a couple of times to the sound of distant mooing, bird song and trout jumping in the water - truly your very own rentable piece of heaven.
Louise is an exceptional, friendly hostess with a good sense of humour, who is always available and ready to go out of her way to help out with anything you may require. Fact: she also happens to be a walking Wikipedia on the West Cork area and many a time we ended up scrapping our original plans for the day in order to take on board her great recommendations. Needless to say we were never disappointed. She lives adjacent to the property with her two well mannered kids and her husband, who is as typical and bubbly an Irishman as can be. We really enjoyed the late evening, pre-bedtime conversations, whilst watching Bear chase Princess thinking that she is a stray lamb!....ooh nearly forgot to mention that Louise has a couple of four legged kids to - three cats (Princess, Sooty & Spot) and two dogs (Milo & Bear) to be precise! Although Princess is very friendly and struts about as if she owns the place, the true star and show-stealer is Bear the border collie. The expectation of hopefully crossing paths with him on our return to the Creamery was the sole reason we were able to pry our kids away from wherever we happened to be.
Honestly, this should truly be THE Airbnb listing for anyone looking for a home away from home in the West Cork area.
