Wonderful luck on a wet day of travel lead us to Rosie's cottage overlooking the sea beyond green pastures. Too limp from driving all day, she had us meet her at O'Donovan's Hotel in Clonakilty. When we walked into the pub section, it was packed with locals tapping their feet to a fine rendition of the Ballydesmond Polkas. Jackpot! Rose was playing bodhran.
After the session she led us up the hill to their picturesque house and cottage where we slept well and felt quite at home. Rosie and Michael are wonderful hosts and we recommend this place to anyone.
