Very good
Location was very good and the quality of the accommodation was excellent.
Another TV separate from main lounge TV which could be used as a game’s station or alternative usage for younger entertainment activities at relaxing times.

Review of accommodation
Spacious house. Plenty of bathrooms. The lady we felt with on site was excellent very helpful with checking in and helping sort out how to work the TV.
Blackout blinds. I woke every morning when sun rose and couldn’t get back to sleep. Needs to have better curtains in the bedrooms.

Comfortable modern property spoiled by minor defects
Initial impression spoiled by finding many light bulbs needing replacement! kitchen almost in darkness, inner hall light out, we eventually found a replacement light bulb and fixed it ourselves. Bedside light bulb had to be replaced from another.
Property also suffered from what appears now to the ubiquitous loose toilet seat problem: one was positively dangerous.
Maireid was very sympathetic and helpful but was hampered by it being a bank holiday weekend. It took two days to fix the bulb problem.
Also, wash basin plugs missing: one was eventually found concealed. Maireid's ability to fix was hampered by the fact that they were all different sizes!
The oven and microwave were not easy to operate, we eventually gave up trying to make meals and ate out in Bandon.

Castle Quay - A wonderful quiet retreat with stunning views over the Bandon River
This is a wonderful location with excellent facilities a short drive from Kinsale. If you enjoy a quiet location with magnificent views and excellent accommodation this is a location for you. You will need a car, as the site is remote and you will need to bring all your supplies in with you.
Repair the potholes on the approach road.

A great family holiday venue
Great space and lighting throughout. Comfortable and clean.
Grouting and tiling in the bathroom upstairs needs a little attention and water pump to showers was a bit of a problem.

Functional holiday home in a picturesque setting.
Functional holiday home in a picturesque setting. It's a short drive from many well known sites in Cork.
The mattresses were awful and ruined an otherwise very good stay.

Very Relaxing Stay
It was our first time staying here and we were really happy with the place. Lots of space and comfort in a peaceful and tranquil setting. Would recommend for a “get away from it all” type of holiday.

My stay at Castlequay.
We loved the views from the windows over the river it was very relaxing there was always something to watch.
The only fault we had was the hills but there is nothing you could do about that, so we had to drive everywhere .

Isolated, but beautiful vista and very comfortable.
The surroundings, facilities and value were top notch. A home away from home. Would highly recommend for a family.
Instruction manuals for the equipment would help. Recycling needed more frequent emptying.
