Alan
15 minutes drive from clonakilty. 20 minute drive from Inchydoney Beach and inchydoneyLodge and spa. host was lovely and helpful Nice little patio and garden to sit in if you wish. Only real downside is a lack of view. Property completely surrounded by high hedges and a bank but absolutely perfectly situated in a very rural area. Kitchen equipped with every basic thing you would need, including a whisk for the obligatory Holiday pancakes. Wi-Fi is not great. But not bad for a rural area. For basic social media but things like TikTok and that will buffer occasionally. Watched a few movies on the smart TV without any buffering.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The house was extremely well appointed and equipped and spotlessly clean in spite of their short notice of our arrival. Lovely garden for our sole use too. It was very quiet, being in the middle of nowhere, which suited us, but did mean a bit of a drive to get anywhere. Only criticism was that the directions to the property were not at all clear, sent us a long way round and we had to consult Google maps to find it - not the owners' fault!
