Beautiful area. Inchydoney beach and Rosscarbery must be visited. We were only there for 3 nights and were totally unfortunate with the weather. Torrential rain. But at least we had a very comfortable cottage to stay in.

It's central to most towns and the scenery is stunning. Hosts were very welcoming and the house was very cosy. Would definitely re-book. X
