  We had a wonderful week.

  Lovely welcome from Abina and Tim. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and delightful. Set in the countryside within easy distance of so many nearby sights. We went to Blarney Castle, Gougane Barra, a stunningly beautiful national park, Kilmichael ambush site, Union Hall, Glandore and Rineen on the coast, kayaking around some amazing scenery, Brandon and Dunmanway, where there was great history to discover. The Methodist Church in Dunmanway is now occupied by the historical society and has a superb collection of local historical artifacts and information. Vivianne and Tim were very helpful. We spent a few fascinating hours there discovering the real history of the area. St Mary's Church in Dunmanway has recently gained 8 new church bells, we were taken up to the belfry and allowed to ring tunes. Locals have knitted a copy of the Sam MacGuire cup for the All Ireland GAA competition and it sits on the window ledge in pride of place. The churchyard is where Sam MacGuire is buried. The last Friday of the month in the Greyhound bar in Dunmanway, locals come together to sing their Irish songs. A true delight. All in all a superb holiday and would completely recommend.

  We really enjoyed our time in this beautiful home!

  The big windows were just brilliant. Lovely bright house, beautifully decorated. Could have spent hours just looking out at the views from those windows. Loved being able to see the lighthouse in the distance at night. The owner was lovely. The house was well stocked and very clean. *worth noting- there was no wifi and both of us on Vodafone had limited service (good outside on the lovely patio though where we often had breakfast, even in October) We actually ended up really enjoying this though, it was really refreshing, we switched off, picked up an RTÉ guide in the Londis in Roscarbery, plenty of films, and we enjoyed nights watching movies after days out exploring the beautiful beaches, villages and towns nearby. Also a nice fireplace! Thanks so much for a great stay, we definitely hope to be back!

  We arrived around 9pm in the rain to be met by the lovely owner Margaret.

  Margaret gave us a brief overview of the cottage and let us know about the generous breakfast provisions and home baked loaf jam and butter. The cottage is cosy and well equipped, Inch is a quiet little village but within easy access to every part of Cork that we had interest in visiting. We took our little dachshund who immediately relaxed at the dispensary which says a lot! I knew the owners were at hand if needed which was comforting, but they don't impose on you at all. The day before checking out I popped by to discuss leaving keys etc and had a lovely chat with Margaret and John in there beautiful home, Margaret even gave me a parting gift of a Christmas cake that she had baked. The kindness and hospitality from them is second to none. Thank you so much. Hope our paths cross again one day.

  The owners (Tim and Abina) are two of the loveliest people you’d ever meet.

  They are super friendly, and will make sure you have everything you need. For example, the fire was blazing when we arrived after dark on our first night and the table was set ready for a meal. They also have a wealth of knowledge of the area which they are happy to share including lots of brochures for the local towns available in the porch for use during your stay. The cottage is in a great location for exploring as it’s quiet and remote with great views but is a close 5 minute drive to town with plenty of shops, pubs etc. It’s well equipped in the kitchen for self catering and the bed was comfortable. The owner needs to set the boiler for the radiators but there’s a fireplace for additional heating or drying wet clothes. A good traditional Irish farm stay.

  Although a little way from the nearest facilities it was lovely and quiet yet a great base for a holiday on the Cork coast.

  The facilities were fine and there was everything we needed for our stay. The house is very spacious and the gardens are lovely - although we did not sit out in the seating area as we were out and about so much. The sheepdog and his herd of cats was a lovely welcoming committee when we got back from a day touring. One suggestion we have is to provide an information pack explaining where everything is (e.g. local shops and facilities such as supermarkets etc.) and how everything works e.g.. the heating system and recycling / rubbish disposal- we worked them out (the smart TV was the biggest challenge) but written information would have helped. We would certainly recommend this cottage as it was comfortable and great value for money.
