Stephanie was a very welcoming host and sent information about the area when we asked for it. It is a very rural area, so very tranquil and quiet. We travelled all over West Cork using it as a base. The house itself is charming, but I would have liked for it to be cleaner than what it was. The weather wasn't amazing the week we were there and the house felt a little damp, there was heating provided and we did use it in the evening when we were home.
