What a fabulous stay we’ve had in Maureen’s home. It’s in a great location for exploring Cork, just a 5 minute drive from Bandon town, 15 minute drive from Clonakilty, 45 minutes from Cobh and 30 minutes from Kinsale. The house is exactly as described, so clean, well equipped and full of unique features. It has literally the best garden for kids, my 9 and 10 year olds spent ages playing on the zip line, trampolines and go kart not to mention the pool that Maureen put up midweek and told the kids to use any time they liked. Maureen was such a lovely host who went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. She stocked the fridge with juice, eggs, ranchers, sausages, pudding, milk, yoghurts and butter. She also left bread, waffles and cereals and when I messaged her before we arrived about local supermarkets stocking gluten free items as I am a coeliac, she provided me with gluten free bread and cereals too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Spruce Lodge for your next stay in Cork. We were sorry to leave!
