    “Thank you for a lovely stay at the chocolate box, everything was as described in the listing and we had a great time.”

    It was a perfect location for exploring West Cork and a very cosy cottage to return to when the rain started.

This cottage in Lissaclarig East is the perfect place for a family getaway.

With a woodburning stove to curl up beside and off-road parking for when you want to explore the local area, this family-friendly abode is a great base for exploring County Cork.

Step inside and locate the galley kitchen/diner, which has an electric oven, hob, a microwave, and a washing machine, which makes it very practical for a self-catered stay.

The space also has dining seating, so you can eat your food fresh from the oven as you relax in the dining area.

Each bedroom has a shower room adjacent for your convenience so in the morning you can have a quick wash before joining your guests in the kitchen/diner for a brew.
