We had the entire cottage, which included 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen , living room and a washing machine. It was an extremely peaceful and relaxing stay. It was so quiet as well. The location is perfect for day trips to Cork and Cobh, as well as the Ring of Kerry. Lidl was only a 10 minute drive away ![Friendly dog from next door](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2c5f1030-9d53-4d5d-bfd1-19dd21fcd8d7-1760140140823.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sandra D Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ---
