Great place to stay if you want a quiet yet central place to get around Cork Co. The place is in the back of the property and not only private but beautiful! It's on a pretty winding country road but yet easy to get to the main motorways. We used this as a central location to stay, and drove to other areas to explore from the west coast to the east coast. Since it was reasonably priced, we booked the place for the whole time we were in Ireland even though we stayed overnight in other areas. It was a central home base we knew we could go back to if and when we needed. Great location if you have a car. There's a nice pub at the end of the road that is walking distance. It's sometimes very lively with many locals. Not many places to eat in the area later at night, but there are places that do deliver. But, I'd recommended going to one of the many great restaurants Cork Co. has to offer, and make sure to go to some local pubs for the full Irish experience. There is a lot in Cork Co. to see and do, so go out and explore!
The accommodation is small, but efficient, and for the price it's great. The ceilings are vaulted, so it seems a bit larger than it is. There's enough storage space for your things, especially with the area under the bed being high enough that you can place the luggage under easily. We kept our luggage opened and slid them under the bed and it was like having a huge drawer with easy access to things. The pantry with the fridge, microwave, sink, etc. is efficient. But don't think you can cook any big meals there. Parking was great and had our own area for the car. There were places to sit outside the cottage for a little extra space if the weather permits. Overall, it was a great, efficient space at a great price for a separate, private accommodation! Highly recommended!
Siobhan and Steve are great hosts and very accommodating. They are helpful if you have any questions about the area. They will give you plenty of privacy if you want, but helpful and fun to talk to if you also want. Their two dogs are so cute and friendly too. We were often greeted by one or both of them at some point in the day. You won't be disappointed with Siobhan and Steve's hospitality.
Overall, fantastic stay. Highly recommended!
