“Great Place with a Wonderful View”
We really enjoyed our time at this fantastic cottage in Ireland. The views are unbelievable. The cottage, itself, was very well decorated, and there was plenty of room. The hosts, Patrick and Theresa, were very kind and were always around for questions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. On a side note, there were a couple of issues. First off, there is no wifi in the house.
They did have a little wifi device that we could borrow from them which took care of that problem. Sadly, their usual one was broken when we arrived, and the new one didn't arrive until the day before we left. This wasn't really their fault, and I can't blame them. But, boy, it would have been nice if they had it earlier. We were kinda spaced out on a number of issues, and that little wifi device would have came in handy.
Also, it would be nice if they could get some different fry pans for the kitchen. I hate using scratched up non-stick pans for anything. Some more stainless steel pans would be great. Also, it's not like this was a huge deal or anything. It's just something that would be good for future guests.

About the location
ALLIHIES, COUNTY CORK
Castletown Bearhaven 7.5 miles.
The village of Allihies in County Cork, on the Western tip of the wild and rugged Beara peninsula, lies in a region of unspoiled natural beauty. Allihies overlooks beautiful Ballydonegan Bay, with its magnificent quartz strand, a direct result of the mining era. Each summer a festival is held in August (around the 15th), with horse racing, novelty events, and dancing in the Community Hall. The village lies on The Ring of Beara, a tourist trail of about 195 kilometres (121 miles) circumnavigating the peninsula. Attractions nearby include Dursey Island, which is linked to the mainland by a Cable Car and is the only such ride in Europe to cross over water. The island is also a recognised Bird Sanctuary, with numerous species, rare and otherwise, seen regularly. There are also many coastal and countryside walks and quaint villages to enjoy. A great location for exploring West Cork.
