Spacious, light-filled house with unrivalled ocean views

Short stay in West Cork

5 / 5 Excellent

The location and setting of the house are simply wonderful. Looking right down on the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by the finest farmland in Ireland with Fresian livestock gazing out as you go by.

2 / 5 Poor

The location of the property was good and as seen in the pictures near a river. The owner John was good. When we arrived at the property which is 3 hrs after the check-in time, the room was not ready, reason "short staff" which is understandable, came 1 hr after, the room was still not ready. Poor room service, no bed sheet/towel change after a day. The corridors were dirty. And for breakfast, a burnt toast was served, absolute disregard for customer satisfaction. Could understand short staff post-COVID. But this was one of the B&B's we stayed on the 1 week holidays and others didn't have this issue. Won't recommend.

A beautiful peaceful property, nothing too much, amazing amenities - with a wonderful onsite “pub” and snooker table! Bed very comfortable! We had room 2- double- excellent size and room 4- triple room- again excellent size. Missed restaurants in near town so got own food to take back- kindly helped with plates cutlery and then tidied up after us… very much appreciated - was really nothing too much trouble! Loved meeting the family dogs too. Thanks all Lambert family
