“Great stay and breakfast”
Lovely hosts, and they gave good tips for where to go. Great breakfast: Irish, or scrambled eggs with salmon, or pancakes. Besides that fruit, yoghurt etc. The breakfast alone is worth booking this Lodge.

“Good quality B&B with great breakfast and excellent access to West Cork drives.”
Deirdre was an excellent host with good local knowledge. The location is great for gaining access to surrounding attractions (you need a car) and the outdoor seating and gardens are an added bonus. The breakfast was great too.

“Lovely, clean and comfortable place to stay.”
The breakfast was fantastic. We had a lovely continental spread and Deirdre cooked us up the hot food of our choice. It was filling and delicious. Our twin room was lovely and clean & comfortable. We had everything we needed. The views at the back of the house are stunning! Would gladly stay again.
