Mark, United States of America

Breakfast is superb, great choice of everything, worth visiting even only for it :-). Lovely landscape. Fantastic host! Great hospitality.

Krzysztof, Poland

Myself and my partner couldnt fault this place. Excellent weekend. Very clean, fabulous breakfast and Norma was absolutely fantastic especially with lovely little touches offering home made scones to take out with you and we finished our stay with a bag of scones and home made soda bread to bring home. She even drove us into the town and inchodony beach. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend this place 100000%

Cheryl, Ireland

The staff and food were wonderful. Norma the owner gave us a fabulous welcome with baked goods and tea. Mary an employee was very helpful and the breakfast was exceptional.

Paige, United States of America

The countryside view was amazing, along with the hosts! Breakfast was delicious!!

Shela, United States of America

I could not recommend this B&b enough. We stayed for 2 nights and we had our 4 year old son with us. Norma and her staff were so friendly and very accommodating, even offered to babysit! We were made to feel so welcome. The food was delicious and every morning Norma would make sure we went off with a bag of fresh homemade scones. I would highly recommend and we would stay there again.

Anne, Ireland

The room and bathroom were very comfortable. The breakfast selection was excellent and the landlady was very pleasant

From the tea and scones given to us on arrival to the very end, hospitality was warm and real..One favorite detail was giving us a bag to take extra scones from the (gorgeous) breakfast to have during the day.. My two kids both want to return as well as I..

This is a country house with a great view of Irish farmland. The breakfast was great and plentiful. The hostess was attentive. The room was quite big, although the bathroom was small. The family dog was friendly and handsome.

We were welcomed with open arms and apple crumble! Clean and comfy.

Too much food
Very friendly owner and staff. Provided very good advice for seeing the sites nearby. Went to some places that without the advice would have been overlooked. The setting is very rural and it was great to wake up and look out over green fields and cows. Mrs Walsh is a great host and a great cook. The apple crumble was one of the best I have tasted. The choice of food for breakfast was really good, especially the pancakes.

I didn't like the fact that I had to leave on the day of departure. I felt so "on holiday" but also "at home" here.
If you don't like a wonderful welcome, fresh baking, fantastic beds, peace & quiet, amazing (and I mean amazing) breakfasts, 8 min drive to Clonakilty, then this is not the place for you. Norma.....we loved staying with you in your fantastic home.

Exceptional staff. So very welcoming and sincere. Would stay again. The working dairy farm aspect was an unexpected bonus especially with the overnight birth of new calves.

Tea/coffee making available but not in bedroom. Property is in a lovely location but remote. We struggled to get taxis to get to and from town. This may just have been because it was a bank holiday weekend. Certainly wasn't the fault of the property.
Lovely welcome. Comfortable room. Staff were excellent and breakfast very good. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
