The house has place to spare for a family of 4\. Bantry - for all amenities and great food - is 15min by car. Durrus (with a few nice pubs and a village grocer) a good 5 minutes. Sheep‘s Head is a gorgeous and not too straining walk with Beara and Mizen Head also within reach for a day trip. Very highly recommended! ##### Wolfgang F.

Had to ask for pillow, blankets and sheets. Only 1 towel per person. Had to ask for paper towels and toilet paper. They advertised a washer and dryer but we did not have access to it. They would take our laundry and return it the next day. ##### Linda F. Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria K.

Taschi hat es mit viel Liebe zum Detail und Geschmack eingerichtet. Zur Begrüßung gab es eine Flasche Wein und Blumen und für den Hund stand ein Napf mit Hundewein parat. Bei der Ausstattung haben wir nichts vermisst. Unser Hund war schockverliebt in den großen, eingezäunten Garten, dem sie immer noch nachtrauert. Taschi und Pavea standen immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Unvergesslich bleiben die Nachmittage bei strahlendem Sonnenschein auf der Terrasse. Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. In der näheren Umgebung gibt es viel zu entdecken. Tiefenentspannt sind wir zurückgekehrt. Danke. ##### Gerhard K.
