"The service was excellent. We had dinner at breakfast and the staff were brilliant. Particularly loved the ladies that looked after us at breakfast. The room was clean and very comfortable.

Cosy south facing sunny cottage Ballylickey, Bantry - on the Wild Atlantic Way

8/10 Good
"Haus wurde auf der Website exakt beschrieben ; durchaus charmant, ist aber ein wenig "in die Jahre" gekommen. Ideal gelegen für die Erkundung von Beara, Mizen Head , Sheeps Head , Killarney NP ein wenig weiter weg (80 km).1 1/2 km vom nächst gelegenen Restaurant, 5 km von Bantry mit vielen Einkaufsmöglickeiten. Alle wichtigen Dinge wie große Küchengeräte und Heizung funktionierten einwandfrei. Betten in allen Schlafzimmern sehr bequem.-- In der Küche gab es leider nur eine benutzbare Pfanne, die andere müsste dringend erneuert werden. Dusche im OG (vermutlich wegen fehlendem Wasserdruck) quasi unbenutzbar. Kleine Infomappe mit Kontaktelefonnummern und ein paar Anweisungenwäre sehr hilfreich. Leider haben wir Jack erst am letzten Abend kennengelernt, weiteren Kontakt gab es nicht."
