Wonderful experience. We stayed for a month in Nov/Dec and were very snug and cosy in the small cottage (combined lounge bedroom with separate kitchen and bathroom ). Only a short walk to the Kikchrohane village (small shop, 2 restaurants and 2 pubs) nearest shopping is Bantry about 20km away so a car is needed.John is an attentive and responsive host. The water cut out one day (a well on the property supplies) and John had someone there to fix the pump within hours. Wonderful walks and the views are sensational on them. It's a place to really w i nd back and relax .
The internet i n the region is patchy and as the router is in the larger cottage next door the s i gnal is weak and drops out depending on the weather so we ended up buying a couple of local vodaphone sims and used our phones for d2d internet and coms then for more complex needs used the internet at BANTRY library (visitor membership free valid throught ireland) or one of the cafes in Bantry. We loved th e whole sheeps head peninsula experience and didn't want to leave. The cottage has great views of the sea too. It felt like home.
