Guests say
Gleann Griannmhar is a spacious cottage with a well-equipped kitchen, ample bedding, and a garden, situated in a quiet location convenient for exploring nearby towns and villages. Guests have appreciated the property's roominess, quietness, and the provision of a Christmas tree during the festive season. However, some have reported cleanliness and maintenance issues.
Several guests reported cleanliness issues such as dust, grease, and pet odours, suggesting a need for more thorough cleaning and maintenance. However, clean bedding and towels were provided.
The property is well-situated for accessing nearby towns and scenic walks, though a car is necessary. The quiet cul-de-sac location is appreciated, but proximity to a busy road was a concern for some.
The cottage offers spacious rooms and comfortable sofas and beds. However, the presence of only one bathroom for a large group and some maintenance issues have affected the comfort level for some guests.
The property is equipped with essentials and has a well-equipped kitchen, but several guests noted problems with maintenance, such as broken fences, dripping taps, and unsafe electrical sockets.
While guests mentioned the thoughtful touch of a Christmas tree, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such gestures across different stays, so it cannot be guaranteed.
About this property
Rosscarbery 1.8 miles. Settled in Ballyoughtera near Rosscarbery is this fantastic, detached house of Gleann Ghrianmhar. A wonderful base for a family of six's getaway, Gleann Ghrianmhar enjoys lovely views of the peaceful surroundings, alongside pet-friendly accommodation! After parking in the off-road spaces outside, make your way inside to find a spacious kitchen/diner that is well-equipped for your self-catering stay, from great cooking facilities to laundry appliances. Once the aspiring chef of the group has fixed up a delectable dinner here, it can be enjoyed at the six-seater dining table over a glass of wine. After dinner, retreat to one of the two sitting rooms, both of which offer TVs and leather sofas, and one of which enjoys the charming touch of a toasty fire. At the end of the day, ascend the stairs to find four fabulously decorated bedrooms, two of which host singles, another offering a double with a handy basin, and the latter comprising a master bedroom with a king-size. The family bathroom can be found on this floor, too, with slate tiles adorning the floor, and a bath offering a relaxing soak at the start or end of the day! The property also benefits from an enclosed garden, so your canine companions can safely stretch their legs outside. Drive a short way into Rosscarbery, a welcoming town with a fantastic leisure centre, where you can try your hand at watersports on the lagoon before tucking into a hearty meal at Nolan's or The Landmark Restaurant & Coffee House. For some fun on the coast, be sure to travel south to Warren Beach, where a set of idyllic sands, the Rosscarbery Pitch and Putt Club and the quaint Rosscarbery Pier await. Why not visit Long Strand, home to another lovely beach, along with access to Castle Freke and the fascinating Galley head Lighthouse? The delights of Clonakilty and Skibbereen are within easy reach, offering even more to see and experience. A brilliant stay awaits at Gleann Ghrianmhar.
Rosscarbery is an outstanding holiday destination, lying at the head of a tidal inlet approximately a mile inland from the sea and halfway between Skibbereen and Clonakilty. This tranquil rural town, which dates back to the 6th century, was once one of the main European towns and was famous as a centre of study, having previously been a university town. It now has a significantly lower population and enjoys a great laid-back and calm ambiance.

Close to Rosscarbery (pubs & groceries), so that was a big plus. Nice garden. Wifi was slow, but it existed, which was not the case with one of our other stays. Would have loved to stay longer.

The place is wel kept and offers plenty of space for 6 people. Maybe only one bathroom for such a big place is a bit scarce. I loved it that guests are allowed to bring their dog. The kitchen is well equipped with household appliances

However, the stench of dog was overwhelming as soon as we opened the door. My first task was to open all the windows, then spray bleach the table, cooker and all work surfaces in order to remove grease stains. I washed all the crockery and cutlery we needed in very hot water and detergent, for the same reason. On a positive note, the rooms were all very spacious and the second living room was a 'godsend'. Our party did struggle a little with 6 people, including children, using just the one bathroom. There was plenty of bedding and towels, all clean, and a washer/tumble drier which was really useful during wet weather. The location of the property is convenient for Clonakilty, Skibbereen, and Rosscarbery, as well as other inland and coastal destinations, but I would certainly think twice before booking in the future.
