For us it was perfect!
Was well equipped with everything we needed and unlike most guests , I think, because we were staying for a week and helping grandchildren I cooked for them in the little house and took the food to them, so everything I required was there and was used!
Can't think of anything...it is likely that we will use it again when we come over .

Nice accommodation on the outskirts of Bantry.
Medium-sized house on a large property with a garden and three friendly dogs the landlord lives in a larger house next door. Very quiet. The kitchen is well equipped, everything needed is there.
Cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed and had fantastic large gardens. Esther, the owner was very welcoming and helpful

Excellent holiday stay.
In such beautiful gardens. The holiday cottage had all equipment necessary including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. And a plentiful supply of dishwasher tablets , toilet rolls etc.
A garden umbrella would have been good as the weather was amazingly hot.

Although a bit tricky to locate, once on property everything went well. Tesco in Bantry is full size., lots of restaurants from take-out snack shops to haute cuisine. The gardens at the property were special.

Everything
Island view is a very well looked after cottage in a garden wit several places to sit comfortably. Apart from very good kitchen equipment and a very comfortable bed, the living room is cosy. Also a great location to make trips and walks from in different direction. Especially the walking on Sheep’s Head is great and very well signposted.
