What our customers say about their holidays

  Corr an Droma has potential to offer an excellent holiday, being in a beautiful location.

  However the cottage is not represented by the photos on the website, which are presumably some years old. The cottage is in a state of disrepair and appears to have been neglected as regards maintenance and cleanliness. There were broken fittings (e.g. radiator, shower tap, shower door, lamp, bin etc.), bare ceiling light bulbs, no TV signal, no WiFi code in evidence, no basin in kitchen, no rail in one wardrobe, loose ungrouted tiles in shower tray etc. etc. The standard of hygiene was very poor, and the only tea towel supplied was dirty along with very dirty looking sponges and wash up brushes and dust on floors and other surfaces. There were also a lot of corners, shelves etc. that had miscellaneous items seemingly not seen by whoever cleans the property. The solid fuel stove had used teabags and partly burned plastic wrappers in it. This is by no means a comprehensive list....but suffice it to say a very disappointing holiday, made worse by the non-appearance of the cottage owner, who we rang shortly after our arrival and who said he'd meet us the following day...we heard nothing from him after our initial phonecall and left a voicemail the following day and had no subsequent response!

  Superb This was a late booking to visit family in the local area.

  The pictures do not do this lovely cottage justice. There are three large bedrooms (very comfy) and a fantastic bathroom upstairs, loads of hanging and storage areas in the rooms and in the under eaves areas. The open plan kitchen/diner and lounge is both large and comfortable. The kitchen includes everything you will need, modern, loads of worktop for the keen chefs out there, large fridge and completely separate freezer. Separate utility area houses the washing machine and leads to a very large second bathroom with walk in shower/wet room and toilet. Outside there is plenty of space for chilling out with rattan style furniture and benches and a large covered area at the rear of the cottage for washing (i left my bike under there). Wifi was good speed which was a bonus as I had to work remotely whilst there. To enter the property there is an electronic gate and gravel drive which all felt grand. We spent a week here and Claire was available to help with any queries but otherwise left us to do our own thing. I can honestly say that we would go back tomorrow if we could, great location for exploring the area, close to Bantry for shops, petrol etc. You will not be disappointed

  We had a great week over Easter holidays this year, stayed 31st March to 6th April.

  We were looking for a house big enough to accommodate two families with teenagers, a bit last minute, and this house was fantastic and great value as it was off season. The house itself was spotlessly clean with loads of space inside it and around it. It was v cosy in the evening with heating set to automatically come on, we didnt need to adjust anything. There was a great patio outside and although not warm enough to sit out, my husband found it a great spot to set up his telescope for some excellent star gazing. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. We brought alot of food down with us, which was a good idea, as there is just one small grocery shop in the village and the next option is a drive to schull. There is loads to do in the area and we went to beach almost every day for dips in the Atlanic, went on a couple of hikes and launched our kayak from pier in the village. Overall, great house, great week. Thanks a million, Cathriona

  We had a lovely week at Rock Lawn Cottage in August 2020.

  This place was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. It is situated in a lovely quiet location, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could need for a week away with the kids. If you want to eat in, there is a good choice of supermarkets, bakery's within the town. But there are plenty of good restaurants and takeaways to choose from too. We were blessed with amazing weather, however there is lots to do even if the weather is good or bad. Bantry is perfectly situated for exploring further on down the peninsula's with Barley cove, Mizen head, ring of Kerry and Dingle approximatly 1-1.5 hours drive either way. The drive passes by so quickly as there is so much beautiful scenery to take in. There is lots of areas to explore, national parks, pony trekking, kayaking and boat trips to name a few. Even with Covid restrictions, there was still plenty of safe places to go. We would definitely come back here again.

  We had a lovely stay in this cottage in August.

  It is so well equipped and comfortable - ideal for us as a family of three (three bathrooms!) and spacious for a larger group. We loved the setting - so quiet, just the sound of cows and swallows flying over head - and Leap is ideally located to visit the stunning coast and countryside of West Cork, being 30 mins from Clonakilty and Skibbereen. We got used to driving up the winding lane from the village (about 10 mins by car) - sat nav was a godsend, as were the excellent instructions on how to find it (approach from the centre of the village). We loved the local Leap Inn and the waterfall. The owner was so kind, leaving us lovely scones and other snacks on our first evening and a beautiful bunch of local flowers, and very friendly. The decor could do with an update in places but this is completely outweighed by all the cleanliness, mod cons, helpful host and the location. Recommended!
