Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the cleanliness of The Dispensary, describing the property as 'spotless' and 'well kept'. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, tranquil, and ideal for a peaceful getaway. Its proximity to rivers, wildlife, and local attractions in East Cork contributes to its high rating.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy. The quiet environment contributes to a restful experience, although a few guests noted the small size of the cottage.
While guests are generally pleased with the facilities, mentioning the well-equipped kitchen and the generous food supplies, there is insufficient detail to accurately score the maintenance aspect. Some guests noted the lack of Wi-Fi and phone coverage, which was being installed at the time of one review.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is highly commended, with special mention of the breakfast pack and homemade items. However, it should be noted that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The Dispensary was delightful. Margaret greeted us warmly and provided enough lovely fresh produce for several breakfasts. The accommodation is small, as expected, but it has absolutely everything you could need, including a stream running nearby, tranquility and birdsong. In addition to a comfortable warm bed and enough mod cons to make life easy it was perfect.

It is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. Margaret and John and friendly and helpful hosts there to greet you with a very welcomed fry pack which is perfect to start your holiday without having to organise food. Ideally situated for visiting many off the wonderful gardens and points off interest nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have come away feeling refreshed and rested. We can highly recommend The Dispensary as a wonderful getaway.
