Great hosts. We enjoyed talking with them and getting tips on where to shop and eat. The cottage is really nice, the beds comfortable and it was great to wake up in the morning to a beautiful view of the lake. You can even take an excellent walkabout from the cottage. Skibbereen has good restaurants and shopping but we didn't enjoy it due to theRead more narrow streets and construction downtown. Ballydehob is small and doesn't have much to offer. Our favourite was Schull, it has a car park on entrance to town, several good restaurants, shopping and a grocery store. One of our favourite things was charting a fishing boat at Bantry and deep sea fishing. We caught so many fish we left over half with the boat captain. A visit to Blarney Castle and Garden is well worth the trip to Cork. Warning you have to be in good health to climb the narrow spiral steps to kiss the Blarney Stone and the Garden is spectacular. My wife was behind me and had to push me up the narrow steps, she counted 109 steps. If you have claustrophobia don't do it. A great time was had and we are looking forward to our next visit with the hosts. Hide

Wonderful location with fabulous views over Roaringwater Bay including seals basking on islands. Very friendly and helpful owners. Good location for exploring the promontories and coast of West Cork. Very comfortable accommodation on a single level.
