We were very happy with the quality, $$ of the property and the support we received from the owners Liked · The Cottage was "as advertised" and very easy to find. Minutes out of Skibbereen and the local Lidl grocery store. The fridge had the essentials kindly supplied for our arrival. The cottage was clean and the rooms are of good proportions. Living room area has comfortable seating and there was a week's supply of wood for the fireplace - which we took full advantage of. The central heating worked a charm and the fire was for ambiance. Views out over the farm fields added a tranquility to our stay. Being Canadian, we had to ask about turning on the heat and power for the oven and stovetop. The Owner kindly popped over and sorted us out immediately. Very friendly and willing to help in any way possible. Fantastic Hosts! Disliked · Being the first week of October, the weather did not fully cooperate. Some beautiful sunny days, some rain and early day fog. Could not fault the property nor the friendly support from the Owners.

Our hostess was extremely heplful and thoughtful.. She provided us with a lovely lunch on arrival and also provided us with a dinner on the first day as she knew we would be too tired to cook. The house was lovely, everything you would need and lovely scenerary. Would go back again.

Etant une PMR j'avais demandé la hauteur du seuil de la porte principale et celle de la véranda, on m'a dit 3 à 5 cm et en fair c"était 15 et 18 cm, ce qui m'a occasionné quelques soucis.. En dehors de cela cette location est parfaite, magnifique véranda au toit en bois cheminée très bien aussi. La propriétaire est très chaleureuse et fournit un pack de bienvenue généreux avec un plus : une assiette de mini sandwichs au jambon, très agréable attention après la route. Beaucoup de petites villes à proximité et les péninsules et si c'est pour la période d'Halloween, ne manquez pas le village de Peal très joliment décoré pour cette fête. Je recommende vivement cette location.

The welcome was really outstanding.. There was a full tea on the table which included sandwiches, scones and cake and there was a bottle of wine in the fridge in addition to milk and butter. Jane Anne was very attentive and very welcoming. The conservatory was very comfortable and from the windows there was a full panorama of sloping fields in which lived 90 cows. The view was amazing and kept us fascinated for a week with the daily routine of the cows and the farm opposite. We loved the cottage and the area and had a full week doing the "Wild Atlantic Way" from Glengarriff to Tramore... This completed our mission to do the whole route from north to south over four weeks in four years. If we were to return anywhere it would be to Raheen.

The property was really a home away from home and the owners of the property really gave us a warm welcome.. West Cork is a great part of the country to visit with loads to do and see which made the holiday very special for us.
