My wife and I spent a lovely week in this beautiful cottage, which is well located near Lough Hyne and not too far from Baltimore and Skibbereen. The cottage, which is beautifully furnished and well equipped, is a very comfortable place to relax and unwind and we felt very much at home there. The owners are lovely: very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We certainly hope to be able to return in the future.
