Absolutely stunningly beautiful nature and peace. We were warm welcomed in to a beautiful, very neath, clean and lovely house. There's everything that's needed for a great hideaway. Also, given a glass of wine, while enjoying the sunset which was a beautiful guesture made by the hostess, an absolute big plus. Also, we were offered and aranged by the hostess to have a dinner in one of the best restaurants in West Cork that is usually booked out few months ahead, and it was worth it. Thank you for a beautiful welcome and lovely experience, we will be back.
