Marion has a huge, private apartment over her rural pub. It's an older building, but clean and has everything you might need (and more). The breakfast foods were plentiful with several varieties of cereals, oatmeal, and yogourts, juices and fresh fruits. A great start to each day. Marion was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She met us and explained everything well. She has a ton of leaflets for things to do in the area. The pub is about half-way between Cork and Killarney. Great for touring in either direction. Macroom is just 8 minutes drive away for many shops, restaurants, etc. There is a little convenience store a minute's walk away. In the apartment, you can hear some chatter of the locals in the pub downstairs, but we never found it a problem at all. We were disappointed not to be there on a Saturday night to enjoy the live music. Great showers, lots of hot water, and great heat from radiators for those chilly mornings and evenings. Excellent wifi in the living room. Would be a great place to stay with kids, as Marion has toys, games and DVD's there. And a huge back yard to play in. She really has tried to provide everything to make one's stay awesome! Highly recommended. We'd be back in a heartbeat!!
