What a sweet, charming house! The downstairs is a lovely space to be in, with the big characterful old table to sit and talk around, the comfy sofas by the wood burning stove. It looks beautiful, just as the photos show... The kitchen has everything you need and the bathroom too... The little outside space is really sweet, with the old stone wall and you can sit and listen to the birds singing in the morning, for it is a lovely quiet spot where the house is located, even though just a short few minutes' walk down to the Main Street. Upstairs, two tasteful bedrooms with excellent mattresses.
Joanne was very friendly and always available for anything you needed.
Ballydehob is a lovely spot, with a great wholefood shop and cafe, several good characterful old pubs with trad music (we liked Levis a lot) and good restaurants. We thought that the food in Bally Bia Restaurant was particularly excellent. To the west you have two gorgeous peninsulas to explore. Sheep's Head peninsula highly recommended - and visit the Tin Pub and the Heron Gallery, which has exceptional food (lunch and cakes) in a gorgeous garden. Skibbereen is worth a visit - lovely market on a Saturday. The new branch of the Glebe Gardens Cafe there has very good food. All in all, this house and Ballydehob are recommended as a brilliant base for a holiday in West Cork.
