The house was comfortable and spotlessly clean and was a great base for our trip to West Cork. Nora and Andrew are fabulous hosts and we also had Molly over to welcome us!! I would have no hesitation in returning here or recommending this house for a holiday base. Thanks for the eggs and the spuds - they were delicious!!!!
