We were overjoyed to find this quaint cottage in such a peaceful, pastoral setting. My husband fell in love with the AgA cook stove, and I felt I was transported back to nostalgic dreams of my childhood. A perfect spot to use as a home base to explore the SW region.

Happy to know how much the peaceful setting of our cottage meant to you, Janice. Glad it served so well as a home base for your exploration of West Cork and beyond. Also wonderful to hear your husband cooked on the AGA and became a convert! A special feature we love to share with others. Thank you both for being such good and gracious guests.
