Caroline’s cottage is situated in the countryside a short drive from the village of Leap. We stayed over the Halloween break and Leap is a fantastic place that really embraces the Halloween celebrations. We arrived down to a parade of witches and scarecrows. This delighted my children no end. The cottage is a spotlessly clean, old farm cottage renovated to a really high standard while retaining plenty of original features. The days were spent being blown around beaches in the wind and rain, followed by a pint by the fire in Connelly’s in the village and home to the stove fire in this lovely warm cottage. Leap is very well located to access plenty of stunning nearby beaches, walks and villages. Another fantastic trip to West Cork. It’s just the tonic to escape city life.
