Good accommodation in pleasant surroundings

The great location The lovely outdoor area The friendly dogs The warm welcome and detailed explanations – we got to grips with everything straight away. The facilities were very good – nothing was missing! – except that a few more knives and forks would have been nice, so we wouldn’t have had to wash up so often.

For us it was perfect!

Was well equipped with everything we needed and unlike most guests , I think, because we were staying for a week and helping grandchildren I cooked for them in the little house and took the food to them, so everything I required was there and was used! Can't think of anything...it is likely that we will use it again when we come over .

Nice accommodation on the outskirts of Bantry.

Medium-sized house on a large property with a garden and three friendly dogs the landlord lives in a larger house next door. Very quiet. The kitchen is well equipped, everything needed is there.

Excellent holiday stay.

In such beautiful gardens. The holiday cottage had all equipment necessary including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. And a plentiful supply of dishwasher tablets , toilet rolls etc. A garden umbrella would have been good as the weather was amazingly hot.

hidden Bantry gem

Although a bit tricky to locate, once on property everything went well. Tesco in Bantry is full size., lots of restaurants from take-out snack shops to haute cuisine. The gardens at the property were special.
