  This is an ideal place to stay if you’re looking to get away from the city and enjoy somewhere peaceful and quiet. The place was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is great, with plenty of places just a few minutes away by car, and you can also walk to the beach. The instructions for getting there were very clear and helpful, which made everything really easy. Our hosts were wonderful and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Bailey, Pixie, and Richard were especially great and made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing to stay.

  Unique Property in need of some love

  Fantastic location. Lovely to meet the chickens and dogs in the morning. (If you’re not a dog lover, perhaps not for you!) Comfortable beds. Responsive and helpful owner.

  There is rustic charm and then there is the point where a property tips over into disrepair and needing a thorough deep clean. Whilst I fully understand that we were in rural Ireland, one would expect a certain level of cleanliness, care and attention as a paying guest. This property had the air of neglect, not just after a long summer season, but more than that. Mould, millipedes, cobwebs, dust, grease, grime, sticking doors, peeling paint, half working toaster, dog chewed washing up bowl, overarching smell of damp… I didn’t expect perfection, just a little care and attention and cleanliness - not all spiders removed, that’s not realistic in a rural property, but built up webs taken care of, webs clinging to the grease in the cooker extractor hood, removed for our arrival… maybe a millipede eviction notice… possibly the pictures having been dusted once in the last year, the light fittings a little less mouldy or slightly less festooned…. The fixtures and fittings were deliberately shabby chic in keeping with the look. I’m all for second hand and ecclectic, but unfortunately the wardrobes were unusable due to the smell, my bedside drawers would not open and the curtains resembled 2 pieces of tattered sack!! 🤣 The owner did come and rectify some of our main kitchen concerns and I appreciate that. Unfortunately however, the property is beyond the couple of hours he could give it. The place is unique, in a great location and deserves more. It doesn’t need thoroughly modernising, it just needs a freshen up, to be clean and to have a back door you can access without battling to open it a crack…

  Au calme, en pleine nature tout en étant proche de tout.

  C’est un privilège de séjourner à l’écart de la foule, tout en restant proche de tout, plages, restaurants et Pub, et de tous les charmants points d’attraction de West Cork ( Connely’s à Leap, Union Hall, Glandore, Skibbereen, Baltimore, Scull, Clonakilty… tout ces villages sont accessibles entre 5 et 20 minutes en voitures. Mizen Head est à 1 heure et vaut vraiment le détour. Le logement est confortable pour 2 à 4 personnes. Bien équipé, Lave linge, sèche linge et un poêle à bois. Il y a un mini super marché à Union Hall à 5 minutes en voiture, c’est très pratique.

  Tout était parfait. Les routes sont parfois très étroites, les autres conducteurs sont toujours bienveillants.
