We stayed with our three kids at Tim's lovely cottage for one week. The house is situated in the city centre but as being a little bit uphill it is nevertheless quiet and we always found a parking nearby. We didn't meet Tim but it was no problem getting the keys and everywhere in the house Tim left little notes and "how-to's". He is renovating and modernising the cottage, thus some floors and walls still need to be worked on, but that was no problem at all as everything you need has been provided for. The kitchen is fully equipped and the bathroom has already been fixed up, too. There are three bedrooms and everything is very spacious, making the house a perfect location for a family of five. You can get within a one-hour drive to the centre of Cork or visit the main points of interest on the southwestern coast and of course profit by the music scene at Clonakilty. We chose the location mainly to visit our eldest son studying at Cork and meeting people there and we had a great time!
