We were in the area to meet up with extended family and stayed with Carmel for seven nights. The accommodation was fantastic. The bedroom and en-suite were spacious, well maintained and spotlessly clean. There’s loads of storage, plug sockets and a super hairdryer. You are not confined to the room with use of the kitchen and a comfortable private lounge with lovely views over the village, a great place to flop at the end of the day. Carmel has thought of everything but nothing is too much trouble; local information, what to see, where to eat. The village is in walking distance with a choice of places to eat. The local bus service is great and you are ideally situated to explore Cork and the surrounding area. Staying with Carmel made our holiday!
