5 mins walk to the village with pubs and restaurants. A mile or so to the beach with carpark and toilet facilities. A short drive to the larger towns. We had 2 dogs and they were completely safe in the enclosed garden. Would definitely return.

(There is a machine for capsules, but we don't prefer this way to prepare) But this is not a real issue! * Rosscarbery is a wonderful base to explore West-Cork

We found the beds a bit low for ease in getting in and out of, because of a mobility problem on our side. Aside from that, a great place. Thanks to David and Regina for some advice we needed, and having us in their lovely house.
