Patricia is a wonderful and caring host who wants to make your stay as pleasant as possible. She is highly responsive to anything and if you're lucky, you may get to sit with her for tea and a chat or even get a friendly walk with her and her gorgeous dogs in the nearby countryside.
Her home is perched on a lovely hillside only a short spin (~5 minutes) or even walk (~25-30 minutes) into the town center. The apartment is bright and spacious, with a wonderful shower and a full kitchen (including an American-style refrigerator-freezer, a rare thing in Ireland) to serve all your needs, even if it's just take-away. The bed was a warm and cozy welcome after a long-days exploration, with a large skylight just over it to help gently nudge you awake (or have a lie-in) each morning.
I look forward to keeping in touch with Patricia which, if nothing else, makes the time away from home well-worth it. You'd do well to stay here when you wish to explore the West of Cork.
