Exactly as described. Perfect, cosy and comfortable and amazing value. Ballycotton as a location is fantastic. 30 minutes from Cork City and very close to Ballymaloe house. We were very lucky and were there during the festival which was lovely. The locals are really friendly and just made the stay extra special. The walks are lovely too with stunning views. The village is just charming with an old community feel and lots of plaques detailing the history. There's a map at the top of the village which is super helpful.
The house itself is ideally located about 2 minutes walk from the village in a lovely modern estate. The house is lovely and spacious and you just feel at home as soon as you walk in. All kitchen items that you will need is included. We were a group of 5 adults from students to retirees and 2 kids aged 3 and 5. The kids loved it, there were toys and games there and they had their own beds in the twin room and plenty of drawers to play hide and seek with their teddies. The bathroom is filled with toiletries and we had plenty of towels and bedding. The use of washing machine and dryer was especially useful as the weather varied wildly during our stay. Can't recommend it enough. We just had such a lovely time. Tis not often you can have 3 generations comfortably staying in a holiday home but the extra homely touches and well laid out spaces really made it amazing. Both Clodagh the owner and Martin the caretaker were just lovely to deal with. So quick to respond and beyond helpful. We will most likely be back again!
