Lovely cottage with great view
The cottage was ideal for our 1 week stay, along with our dog. Everything there that you need, along with a lovely garden where we sat some evenings, enjoying a glass of wine whilst watching the sun go down over Bantry Bay!
Also, it is ideally situated for touring West Cork. Highly recommended!

Wonderful holiday
Nora was so welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. It is a great quiet base from which to explore the whole area.
The wi-fi signal was intermittent but possibly this was due to the location?

Rated 4.5 stars
Enjoyed 2 weeks in Lakeside Lodge, Bantry. It is a well laid out and comfortable cottage. The Owner was very welcoming and friendly. Everything was spotless except for the rubber seal of the washing machine. I knew to check on it as I have had experience with my own machine. I would not hold it against the property at all and would recommend staying here in this beautiful part of Ireland.
