We had a fantastic experience at David and Angie's Wild Atlantic View.

After another host double booked and cancelled our reservation 24 hours before we were meant to check in, we were scrambling to find a place. We contacted David and, despite it being so last minute, he responded within an hour happily welcoming us to their place.

When we arrived we were blown away by the beauty of the place, inside and out. The photos on the profile do not do the property justice. The space is warm, roomy, and bright, decorated to live in (unlike so many holiday properties you see that are blank and uninviting). The gorgeous art (some of it done by Angie) and furniture created such a comfortable environment, one we didn't really want to leave. Every room in the house has character and offers a beautiful view of the bay or farmland surrounding the property - an inspirational spot to relax, read, write, or create art. The kitchen is large and well stocked with anything you'd need to create and serve a feast, provided you bring the food. Floor-to-ceiling windows opposite the dining table give one of the best views I've ever shared my morning coffee with.

Angie and David greeted us upon arrival and offered up loads of suggestions for local spots to eat, shop, and be entertained (all the ones we tried were wonderful). The road that the house sits on led to scenic, peaceful walks, and is just a short drive from several beautiful harbor towns with great food, galleries, shops, and pubs. During our stay, there was a very minor plumbing problem that caused us hardly any trouble, and when we contacted David about it he had someone out to fix it in no time. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have secured a stay at the Wild Atlantic View, and would highly recommend it to anyone planning to explore SW Ireland. If we're ever back near West Cork, this is where we'd prefer to stay.

Best,
Miriam, Michael, Aisling, & Niamh
