We loved this cosy and very comfortable cottage. Its got everything you need from a well equipped kitchen, xbox 390 and loads of games, excellent wi fi and a smart tv with Netflix. The open plan living, dining and kitchen is well laid out and comfortable as are the bedroom. The enclosed garden is perfect for our dog. We recommend Dintys in Union Hall, and the Glandore inn and Hayes in nearby Glandore for food. And the fish shop selling the catch off the local fishing boats has the best fresh fish.

It was a beautiful house that was very comfortable and spacious; we really enjoyed being there. There was lots to do in the nearby area and plenty of nice places to eat. The setting was very peaceful and the scenery was wonderful. There was nothing to dislike!

The weather was unusually cold for March and it was lovely to go back to the warm and comfortable cottage each day. It is well positioned, clean and nicely furnished. It is the nicest cottage we have stayed in which is why we have just been back there for the fourth time. West Cork is a lovely part of Ireland and we are frequent visitors.

The house and garden are great for young kids. Fishy Fishy cafe and restaurant in Kinsale is excellent. The Ring of Kerry, especially Killarney National Park and the Gap of Dungloe, are beautiful.
