    “We had a lovely time in this handily located home.”

    After arriving in a category orange storm late on Saturday afternoon we were delighted to waken to sunshine and blue skies for the rest of the week. The house was warm on arrival and spaceous enough for the 2 of us plus our mini schnauzer Zoe. Zoe loved the secure back yard of open lawn and surrounding gardens. The kitchen has all you would need although we ate out a lot. The master bedroom has plenty of space to move around although the bed is far too low and far too short to be comfortable ...

    After arriving in a category orange storm late on Saturday afternoon we were delighted to waken to sunshine and blue skies for the rest of the week. The house was warm on arrival and spaceous enough for the 2 of us plus our mini schnauzer Zoe. Zoe loved the secure back yard of open lawn and surrounding gardens. The kitchen has all you would need although we ate out a lot. The master bedroom has plenty of space to move around although the bed is far too low and far too short to be comfortable. Still we slept ok until awakened in the morning by passing traffic. The ensuite is narrow but adequate. The basin seemed a little low or somehow not user friendly as I had to bend awkwardley to brush my teeth or have a shave. The shower cubicle is a little cramped for getting down to wash your feet etc. The shower stength is ok but I prefer more pressure and volume of water. I couldn't get the heater working, perhaps its broken. An annoyance is the fact that you can't use both showers in the house at the same time. That needs rectifying. Yes the instructions warned us of that fact but when you want to get on the road in the morning you need two shower efficiency. By the way there are no shampoo or soap like you get in hotels. We made the mistake of not bringing any since the instructions didn't tell us to. The lounge is spaceous and is well laid out with a good sized tv. It has good heating too. The couch and seating could do with a bit more comfort although again they are adequate. The kitchen and dining area are combined which works well although they are separated from the lounge. There is a downstairs toilet which makes for great convenience and there are toilets upstairs as well. The vaccum cleaner is lacking in suction although we did our best to clean the floors etc before leaving. All in all its a great place to stay and explore the area. We covered most local attractions and went out to Kinsale, Bantry, Macroom, Baltimore, Crookhaven, Brow Head, Mizen Head (closed until March 2025) and many many more places. We covered Michael Collins birth place, where he was brought up and where he died. We ate at the Cross Hotel and Jacks Pilgrams Rest, both highly recommended. Rosscarbery and most of the area seems to close down after summer has gone. We were there for the second week of October and many places were shut. Thankfully Crookhaven had a bar and eating on our travels. 1 Closheen Lane is a great place to stay as is Rosscarberry. We loved it.

About the location

ROSSCARBERY, COUNTY CORK

Clonakilty 8 miles; Skibbereen 13 miles.

Situated at the head of a tidal inlet about a mile inland from the sea and located between Skibbereen and Clonakilty, Rosscarbery makes for an ideal holiday destination. Dating back to the 6th century, this sleepy country town was once one of the major European cities and famed as a centre of learning, having previously been a university town. Nowadays it is home to a much smaller population and benefits from a lovely laid back and relaxed atmosphere. There are quaint little shops and good Irish pubs as well as a number of quality restaurants to tempt your taste buds. The town itself is in close proximity to three fine beaches, the nearest of which, Warren Beach holds the prestigious Blue Flag status. Those who enjoy watersports are well catered for and there are great opportunities for walking, cycling and golf nearby.
