A week in west cork

We were welcomed by Annette the host who was extremely friendly and showed us around the cottage and gave us plenty of local recommendations. Lovely cottage, dog friendly with large garden for him to play in. 10 minute drive to nearby Clonakilty, a lovely town with superb supermarket Supavalu and easy access to beaches

A tiny taste of Western Cork

This cottage is an idyllic setting in the country but close to some lovely communities for shopping, history and exploring. Our host, Annette, was wonderful. She is an attentive communicator, and left us with a comfortable converted ‘pig style’ with all the modern comforts.

Very friendly welcome and welcome pack. Rural location, so quiet and restorative. Characterful converted barn with nice wood burning stove if necessary. Good location for exploring from Bantry (west) to Cobh (east) but be prepared for a fair amount of driving on country roads.

Gem of a cottage

Excellent few days at The Barn just outside Clonakilty. Fab conversion and hospitality from Annette. Pity we couldn't stay longer as lots to do and see. Hope to be back soon. Thanks Annette.

Beautiful setting

Great communication leading up to our arrival. Great advice on local area and futher afield. We took her advice - less can sometimes be more - and explored and enjoyed the local coastline and experieces to the full, ensuring we have to come back for more!! The fresh eggs and salmon kindly provided were a breakfast treat sitting out in the sunshine and later that evening enjoying our bottle of wine in the setting sun, what a glorious spot and lovely accomodation.

We loved staying at the barn! The place is very quiet and super green and the barn and the attached terrace is very private - except for the little white wagtail visiting every now and then. The barn has everything you need and a little extra to have a very comfortable stay. Toaster, coffee machine, a comfy fireplace, apple TV. It is very clean as well.It is a little drive away from town but thats what makes it so nice. Everyhing you might need is still within reach - such as the best supermarket we've come across: Supervalu in Clonakilty. The host was so kind and generous with her tips - we could have easily spend 2 weeks in the region without getting bored.

A Wonderful and welcoming home away from home

This is a gem! The pictures don't do it justice. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, a view of the magical hills of Ireland we immediately felt at home. There was an amazing welcome basket of local food awaiting us in the light, fully appointed kitchen. The bed and living room furniture were very comfortable and everything spotless. Patio with sliding doors and apple, pear and plum trees right there along with visits from chickens too. (They were a hoot!) In addition to being a wonderful space, Annette, the host, made everything even better. She responded to all communication prior to and during our stay and gave us excellent information about hikes, restaurants and places to see. Her love and knowledge of her home and county made her an excellent guide. We plan on returning and next time want to stay longer!

Cottage Urlaub at it’s best

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in Annettes wunderbaren Cottage in den Hügeln vor Clonakilty. Annette hat uns sehr nett mit einem Willkommens Korb empfangen. Den schönen Garten mit seinem hinreißenden Ausblick konnten wir auch mitbenutzen. Noch einmal vielen Dank an Annette für die leckeren Eier ihrer fleißigen Hühner. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

The accommodation was as described online. The welcome basket in the fridge was very generous and appreciated. Annette was a welcoming host and very keen to advise.
