We had a great stay! We loved the pretty view out the back and the amount of living space. We were able to host for dinner and had comfortable space for 10 to dine and visit.

Hi Angela, we’re glad you had a lovely time. I was surprised that you found it spacious for 10 guests, as it’s a cozy little place that we feel is only comfortable for 4 people. Come back anytime.
Very clean, comfortable and lovely residence. Stayed 2 nights and great location to take day trips. Fermoy has several good restaurants and an Aldi nearby if groceries are needed. Would definitely stay again in the future!

We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you.
We had a quiet and uneventful stay in Fermoy. Exactly what we were looking for when we booked the house. The house had everything needed for a lovely vacation.
It was perfect for our day trips around the south and west coasts. Great place to come home to after some long drives. Close to local coffee and restaurants. Perfect for us!
The property was fine. Their are comments about a small kitchen which it was, but it was exactly as I expected and worked fine our needs. It was in a good location for Fermoy and Castelyons visits and would stay there again.

Disliked: Check-in, location
On arrival, the TV in the bedroom was missing, however, the owners were very responsive and brought a replacement TV to us the next morning. The interior of the property was as expected from the online photos, and we enjoyed evenings by the log-burner. However, we were very disappointed and surprised by the dilapidated condition of some of the attached properties which were not visible in the online photos.

We felt this was an unkind review suggesting the buildings attached to our rental are “dilapidated”. They are not in disrepair or ruin, which is what dilapidated means.We agree that the building attached to the house that is 2 doors away from us needs cleaning and a coat of paint, but unfortunately we have no control over that. Our place that you are renting is beautifully decorated and fresh for you to enjoy. Please read back on other reviews to get a well rounded opinion on our place. Feel free to reach out if you have concerns.
The place was perfect… absolutely lovely. Gillian and Kelley were very great with communication. Perfect for a short stay to visit family nearby.. near to town and Aldi for convenient grocery shopping. Hope to stay again!
Gillian's apartment was the perfect base for us exploring Cork County, the beautiful Copper Coast and the magnificent Rock of Cashel. Parking is ample and safe, and the apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen has all you need to make meals (we made our breakfast everyday before hitting the road, and a.couple of dinners too). Thank you Gillian for hosting us. We would definitely return when visiting Cork County again.

Thanks for taking the time to express how much you enjoyed our place. We’re delighted it suited all your needs. Come back any time! You were a pleasure to host.
Easy access to main road, Aldi, downtown Fermoy. Food choices in Fermoy seemed limited evenings but Chinese and Indian were very good and reasonably. Place was very cute and all modern!
We loved this cute Irish row house! The location is good. We felt safe. 20 minutes to Cork. That said, Fermoy shopping might be more fun as it is not as crowded. The inside of the home is as the pics depict, only better. The owners left guide books specific to castles and churches to see. This made planning our outings so easy! We really appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Very clean and as described in write-up.
Easy to access, great parking, and proximity to major routes/shopping is very good.
We enjoyed our stay in this cute municipality and would recommend this property to anyone wanting to see this part of Ireland.
This home was fantastic to stay in and easily accessible. The communication was great leading into our stay so we definitely felt prepared. The location was great - the neighbourhood was very friendly with 2 large grocery stores within a 5 minute walk. The home was clean, linens were plentiful, and loads of instructions on using washing machine, showers etc.
I would definitely stay here again - thanks so much for your hospitality!
We stayed for 5 days- it was very pleasant and comfortable. We didn’t have any towels for showering when we arrived and had to search for them.
It was different to have to turn off the switches for outlets and having the water to heat up.
Overall, the experience was good

Thanks for your review. I wish you would have reached out right away and I could have told you were the towels are. Sorry for the confusion. Water in Ireland is heated by electric immersion and showers are electric. Yes, it does require the flip of a switch to turn shower on and off.

Nice, tiny place to stay
We‘ve stayed here for some days to explore Cork region. It was a little tiny for 4 persons but okay though as we haven‘t been home most of the time. Check-in and out was comfortable and easy. We do not have pets, but had the feeling to find a lot of hair though. Didn‘t have to contact anyone for help as everything worked well.

Hi Jytte,
We’re happy you enjoyed your stay. However, I’m curious about your mention of pet hair… We have just started to allow pets and up to this point we haven’t had anyone stay with a pet. So I’m not sure how you would have found pet hair?
Best,
Gillian & Kelley
The home was pretty clean, with some exceptions (some debris on the floor and the tea maker was dirty). It is quiet and a central location. Parking while not dedicated was easy enough. I found difficulty with getting hot water for the kitchen due to the systems for switching on water, and really never had hot water in the kitchen duringmy stay. There a several items that have to be switched on/off during the stay and check out, that I did not experience in other rentals in Ireland. I felt this complicated my stay. Great communication with the host before check in.

Cleanliness is very important to us and I apologize if you found debris on the floor. Sorry you felt flipping the switch on for the hot water and heaters on arrival and departure complicated your trip. Once turned on you should have no issues with free flowing hot water and heat. We try to be economical with utilities by not having them on when we don’t have guests staying.
There is not much going on in Fermoy, but it is possible to drive to some major attractions such as the national park if you don’t mind a bit of a drive. The house is very tastefully decorated and well equipped, but it is very small and the beds are listed as queens. If you are coming from America, please note this means full. Not a lot of room for suitcases, but the listing clearly stated how small it was. Overall acute little place, but not really in a destination spot.
