Our host Joanne couldn't have been more welcoming. She's a warm & friendly person. The old cottage is small, but clean & tastefully decorated, just perfect for a couple or small family. Has a small private back yard to drink & eat out on sunny evenings. Situated on a quite road up a side street so you can sit peacefully reading in the morning sun or nursing a hangover. Very quiet & private yet minutes away from great pubs & restaurants. You must eat at the Porcelain Plate around the corner. This town has everything you need but is positioned perfectly for trips to Skibbereen & Skull. And has great walks in the immediate area. We loved it.
