“Approx 1.5 acres of beautiful gardens overlooking the countryside.”

Ideal for family pets to roam free. Noreen was an excellent host. Would highly recommend it.

“A warm cottage with plenty of home comforts and a beautiful gard”

We were very late arriving from Rosslare to Skibbereen. It being very dark we phoned the owner for directions. She did more than this, she came to Skibbereen and guided us the 8 kilometres to our cottage. The following day she helped us to find our way to and from the main road to our cottage. She allowed us to take our two large dogs, off the lead, around her beautiful gardens. The property was at all times warm, comfortable and cosy. Our landlady was always helpful when we needed information
