Situated between Bantry and Glengarriff, the location is ideal for people wanting to be just outside a town in a tourist area. The listing was slightly inaccurate, there was not an electric oven, instead we had access to a microwave and a 2 ring hob that sits on top of the kitchen counter. The downstairs shower was broken on arrival, this wasn't a problem for us and we're sure it will be repaired when possible. The garden was in honesty disappointing, it was not private, nor was it an acre. Our children were chased on one occasion by 2 large neighbouring dogs on the lawn directly outside the house. We could not recommend it for families with children anticipating a safe outdoor space. The bedrooms were well positioned and the larger room had plenty of storage space, however the mattresses were rather uncomfortable.
