David and Ellis are consummate hosts and this enchanting cottage was well-equipped with anything and everything one might need during a stay here. The home is exactly as described, full of character, charm and history, yet containing the modern conveniences that ensure one’s comfort. (Fantastic shower pressure and temps and consistent wifi!) a big plus: an accessible ground floor bedroom with accessible shower room. (Note, there is one step to enter the home). The horses, dogs, and the bunnies that romped in the garden during the early mornings and in the evenings added to our delight with the place. Finally, a word about the location: perfect! In a quiet country setting, within a three-quarters of an hour of any attraction we were interested in exploring: Blarney Castle and Gardens, Cork City, Cobh, Fota House & Gardens and Fota Wildlife Park.

Superb accommodations! We could operate independently. David and Eillis were super hosts. The grounds of this equestrian and thatched roof home seemed to roll on forever in total bliss, unscathed by the hustle and bustle of the outside world. This heavenly sanctuary was a paradise. We could cook, light a fire, play the piano and guitar, walk about, sleep well, take a bath or shower. The water was fresh straight from a well into the home. And, most of all, David's guiding hand, informationally, gave us a truly wonderful opportunity to enjoy ourseves in the surrounding areas to the fullest! I shout out accolades to all who have ears to hear! And, if you listen closely enough, the wind sounds melodic, as if a flute is being played.

We had a delightful stay. The cottage was charming and contained everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable time. The owners made it so easy to feel at home. Thank you Eilis and, especially, David. We are looking forward to a return visit.
