Dave and Joy's place is exactly what they say and more. Ballycotton is a very small fishing town, and I stayed to attend a couple of sessions to attend Ballymaloe Cookery School. Since I don't have a car Dave & Joy's was right on the bus route and a local driver took me back and forth to the classes. My room was bright and airy, the bed comfortable. Joy laid out all the supplies for cereal, coffee or tea and toast and I had access to the kitchen and a sitting room with TV to relax. Both Dave and Joy were warm, friendly and helpful. I felt safe, comfortable and welcome in their beautiful, spotless home. For those who drive, there was plenty of parking space. My one suggestion for Ballycotton, was if you need cash (like for my taxi) bring it. There are no banks or atms in the town. My stay was delightful and hope to return some day.
