Mary was very welcoming and helpful, but left us to our own devices which is what we wanted. The apartment itself is lovely - really nicely done up, the bed is very comfy and it is just perfect for a couple. Kinsale is a short drive away and has fantastic options for eating. Mary can give you some pointers or just find your own way. You can also get to Cobh easily with a car, and we had a nice day walking around Timoleague. All easy to access from the flat. Actual location itself is a bit out of the way, so you do definitely need a car to make the most of it.
