This cottage is a wonderful place to stay and an excellent base for exploring West Cork. Although there were only two of us, it would easily and comfortably accommodate up to six people. Kathleen is a warm and welcoming host, and the cottage felt cosy from the moment we arrived. Visiting in December, we were greeted by a warm living room, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree creating a festive atmosphere, and a lit fireplace that made the space especially inviting. Very “hygge,” as we say in Denmark. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage in Bantry. We were welcomed by a cozy fire and the place was clean and charming. We loved the kitchen and enjoyed cooking and dining together there. It had everything needed. Walks around and the views out of each window were beautiful. The bathtub was welcome during a gusty storm. I would stay again. Great for family. Thanks Katherine and Jack!Warmly, Mary Winslow and family

Loved that it was located in country and how peaceful and relaxing it was. Definitely need a car. Had beautiful sunrises and listening to birds as drinking morning coffee. We even had the local cows and cats come visit us! The hosts responded quickly when needed. Overall this was a great place for my spouse and I to celebrate our 25th anniversary while enjoying Ireland with our friends!
