The cottage was out in the country and near to the ocean. The cottage is as described. If you want someplace new and fancy, this isn't for you, but if you'd like the true experience of staying on your own in the country, then this is the place for you. Clonakilty is about 20 minutes away where you can find groceries and places to eat. We found the directions to the house very easy to follow in the daytime, but I wouldn't suggest trying to find the place after dark.
