Marie
Lovely cottage, everything that was needed was supplied. Very comfy. Only drawback was we could not allow our 3 year old grandson to play out in the garden as it was not enclosed as stated in the description. He could walk straight from the back garden around the side of house and straight onto the road.
D
House spotless and well presented and great location.
Shelagh
Excellent location, walkable distance to the village. Plenty of room for everyone
Ewen
The house was in a great location and in fantastic condition. The owners were very pleasant to deal with.
Sarah
The house offers an excellent location in Baltimore being a short walk from the harbour and also a short drive to Skibbereen. It's a great base to visit all the sights in West Cork. It's a spacious property with good facilities, comfortable beds, good range of entertainment (smart TV, board games, books etc) and ample parking. We would recommend this house for a holiday base in West Cork.
