We think "Cosy Chalet" is a misnomer. It would better be titled "Cosy, Dream Chalet." This place was heaven. Teeming with flowers. Quiet. The photos were exactly spot on, Hannes was always available (if needed). Don't bother to bring any hiking maps/routes/whatever, because the little library in Cosy DREAM Chalet has plenty of info. For those future visitors who read English, we found that Peter Somerville-Large's book about West Cork was a true delight (also on the shelf in Cosy Chalet). The place is perfectly situated: it's less than 15 minutes to the lovely little town of Schull, which has two supermarkets, a health food store, a couple of notable pubs serving fine fare (including Hackett's and Bunratty's), a great bookstore (Whyte's) and an incredible farmer's market on Sundays. It also is close to other towns within an easy drive for pubs, markets, views. We would like to move in, permanently, and invite Ester, resident canine hostess, to live with us forever. She, perhaps, was the nicest part -- excuse us, Hannes! -- of our stay. Walking with her to the beach (actually, having her LEAD us to the beach) was one of the highlights of our time in West Cork.
