Maureen
Extremely clean, gardens magnificent. There were 13 of us and with two big sitting rooms everything went smoothly. Despite bad weather we had a great holiday with so much to see around about. Great beaches and wonderful stone circles. The jacuzzi bath doesn't work but that really didn't matter because the house znd gardens are fabulous.

Very spacious hse and fabulous garden. We were very lucky with the weather which in Ireland is a bonus. We loved Barleycove beach which is near Mizen Head. We loved Skull. Lovely harbour and walked the coastal route as far as the buriel ground. There is also a viewing point which u can drive to from the town. We also visited Goleen Skibereen Clonakilty. We have been in Cork before so we stayed close by. Ballydehob small village. Not too many eating places. Would recommend Baile Bia but its a chipper and not a restaurant as we led to believe. We ate whenever we were out. The Church in Skibbereen was good. Also cooked in the house. There were 11 adults and 3 children. Would def recommend this house.

Space is fantastic too. House is very comfortable, great for big families. The views from the balcony is just surreal. The owner fitted a toddler gate for us, really made such a difference to the holiday with peace of mind for our son to run around the house. Location of the house is great very close to ballydehob and for exploring West Cork. Loved every day there. Hopefully will return in the near future
