Unfortunately it is extremely basic and dated, with very old unpleasant smelling furniture. Property is also very dirty and needs a complete clean. Owners were nice and helpful, but we didnât feel we could raise the cleanliness issue as they lived next door.

Again we enjoyed our stay as we love the area and Harbour View Beach is a family favourite. House is comfortable and we had all we needed for our stay. We will be back and would recommend staying here.

Bernadette was lovely and friendly and willing to help with any queries. The cottage was perfect for our holiday needs, very spacious and had everything you needed. It was situated central to where we wanted to visit (Cork, Kinsale, Mizen etc) Great bonus for us was being able to bring our dog, as not many permit them. The proximity to the local beach was an absolute gem.
