Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2007

Chris has live in West Cork for 37 years. He is a well known private local chef providing meals for holiday makers and special occasions. Chris is also adept at the art of beekeeping. He came to Eire from England to and live a self sustaining lifestyle for years.
Pattie is an A&E nurse from Boston living here 5 years now. It was her dream to launch the cottage and make it something extraordinary and memorable for those who choose to stay here. It truly is a unique venue. Your advantage is that we are located on the premesis to ensure that all your needs are met.

Why the Owner Chose Ballydehob

West Cork boasts some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. There are no crowds here and lot's of things to do, or simply relax and get lost in a book. The people of West Cork are the most hospitable and friendliest of individuals, who truly care about their country. They are the heart and soul of this land. This is the kind of place that will stay with you for years to come.

The Unique Benefits of this Cottage

Sharing a meal or glass of vino...we often have the opportunity to know our guests intimately, which sometimes lends itself to the unexpected invite over for dinner and wine. This is probably the greatest advantage for those who stay here, in that we are available to see to all your needs, unlike most self catering places as we live on the premesis.

    • I meant to post this comment when we stayed in the cottage last year. We had one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weeks of our lives. The sauna and jacuzzi add that bit of luxury that you don't really expect in an Irish cottage. You could not have more pleasant and helpful hosts than Patti and Chris. Pattis little touches make you realise that they want your week to be a little special. And ignore Chris underplaying his culinary skills, his dinner was to die for. Our daughter constantly talks about going back and although it looks like we may not this year, we definitely will be returning.

      Homeowner Response:
      Peter, we loved having you and your family...we look forward to your return! Pattie and Chris!

    • This cottage is well kept and well maintained. It has the most hospitable owners we have ever met and immediately made us feel welcome and relaxed. The hottub and sauna made this a truly relaxing escape. This cottage is a MUST for any couple or person looking to escape the world and experience quality time with themselves or a loved one. We would go as far as saying it would be a beautiful honeymoon destination for any couple wishing to spend time alone with gourmet chefs on site at their disposal. Dar and Dee

    • We had a really pleasant stay at this beautifull hideaway; unfortunately we did not meet hosts Pattie and Chris as they were on holiday as well at the time:-), but they ensured everything was set for a warm welcome. We will return as soon as possible.

    • As my husband put it, Mount Kid Cottage is the Shangri-La of Ballydehob. It was by far one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives. The cottage has a feeling of old world charm. Our experience was one that was full of peace and happiness. The owners, Chris and Patti are wonderful host that made our stay memorable and enchanting.
