We had a great time at Kate's. The accommodation has everything you need - a well equipped kitchen, dishwasher, clothes washer, lots of piping hot water, etc. We had our adult children drop in to stay while we were there; lots of space for everyone with two loft beds and a pull out sofa bed. Best of all was the little log burner (which we set a few nights even though it was August). The outside porch is great too with its view of Long Strand. The location itself is a perfect base for exploring West Cork, including the beautiful towns Clonakilty, Skibbereen, Schull, Glandore, Rosscarbery, Schull, Baltimore and all the way to Mizen Head. Lots of interesting walks too, Long Strand, Castlefreke, Galley Head and more. For eating out, Pilgrim's in Rosscarbery is excellent as is Good Things in Skibbereen and of course the Puffin Cafe on Long Strand itself has excellent pizza, coffee and ice cream. We really enjoyed our stay, Kate is really nice and very helpful. We hope to be back.
