Reviewers repeatedly mention the cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as spotless and well-maintained, which indicates a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
Location
The location is highly praised for its quietness and convenience for exploring West Cork, with positive comments about the nearby towns and scenic drives, although one guest mentioned difficulty with local roads and drivers.

Comfort is a standout feature, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the conservatory a pleasant place to relax. The open fire adds to the cosy atmosphere, enhancing the overall comfort of the cottage.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property described as well-equipped and spacious. However, one review suggested that kitchen equipment might not be up to the same standard as the rest of the bungalow, which slightly lowers the score.
