Excellent holiday stay.

In such beautiful gardens. The holiday cottage had all equipment necessary including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. And a plentiful supply of dishwasher tablets , toilet rolls etc. A garden umbrella would have been good as the weather was amazingly hot.

hidden Bantry gem

Although a bit tricky to locate, once on property everything went well. Tesco in Bantry is full size., lots of restaurants from take-out snack shops to haute cuisine. The gardens at the property were special.

Everything

Island view is a very well looked after cottage in a garden wit several places to sit comfortably. Apart from very good kitchen equipment and a very comfortable bed, the living room is cosy. Also a great location to make trips and walks from in different direction. Especially the walking on Sheep’s Head is great and very well signposted.

Super week

Ester was a great host. A cosy cottage with everything you need and spotlessly clean in a great location. A warm welcome and a lovely vase of flowers on the table. Plenty of hot water and well heated. Couldn't fault our stay and would happily return, Nothing

Cottage with beautiful garden and views

We were there during very warm weather so it was wonderful to be able to enjoy Ester's vast garden. We were able to eat all our meals out on the patio with its stunning view of Bantry Bay Nothing
