What an amazing place! It was like living in a fairytale for a week. Beautiful grounds and walk, idyllic property with good range of appliances (including filter coffee maker and gas BBQ) and Alan is the most amazing and friendly host. The property has a large conservation focus which is wonderful. Highly highly recommended. Worth noting; there is zero cell reception on site (great if you want to unplug) - there is good wifi but we did not find it worked well for video calling so assume emails and IMs only. There is however a good landline if you need to dial in to calls. The area surrounding the property and wider afield is truly stunning and wild. Recommended to all!

I have no hesitation in saying this is a truly special place nestled in the heart of beautiful countryside a short walk ir drive from Glengarriff with its many pubs and amenities. The house is perfect for groups and is a special place to celebrate an occasion or simply relax surrounded by nature. We even went for a swim in the river in December. We’ll be back!
