We stayed in cottage No 11 - one of a set of similar cottages grouped together in well-cared for gardens. It was nice to explore the gardens and walk downhill and over the bridge to Inish Beg, where there are more extensive walks and a tearoom.
Baltimore is a short distance away where we took ferries to Sherkin Island, Clear Island and the Fastnet Rock - the latter trip very exciting as you're really out in the Atlantic swell...
Guests are asked to drive to their allocated cottage, drop off luggage, and then park in a large car park near the entrance to the property. This system worked fine for us.
The cottage had all the promised facilities. The wifi also worked OK - note guests are asked not to stream movies to avoid using too much bandwidth.
We bought supplies on the way, stopping at an Aldi supermarket in Skibbereen. The nearest shop to the cottage is a small convenience store in Baltimore - if you want anything more than the basics, turn left and drive to Skibbereen where there are lots of shops.
We used the washing machine and tumble dryer in the games room - again without any problems.
Each cottage has a table and chairs outside - nice if the sun comes out!
Bernie and Emma gave us lots of useful tips and we spent a very pleasant week in the cottage!
